Today I had the great honor of interviewing E. Jean Carroll about her life and new book and I think it was one of the best conversations I’ve had in a long time. She makes it very easy with her humor and brilliance.
I was very inspired by her story and the way she has handled it all with elegance and humor and she could not have been kinder to me. I hope we will get to talk again and I hope you will subscribe to her substack and get her book

| 0:00.0 | Hello, and thank you for pressing play. |
| 0:04.2 | You are not going to be sorry with my conversation with the brilliant, fearless, courageous, hilarious, iconic author of the already New York Times bestselling book, not my type. |
| 0:16.8 | Eugene Carroll is fearless. |
| 0:18.7 | And today, she is my guest. |
| 0:21.5 | We had a great conversation, went live on YouTube and Twitter and a whole bunch of other platforms that I'm experimenting with regularly on Tuesday afternoon. |
| 0:30.7 | And so I am really happy to share this with you right now. |
| 0:34.9 | I also want to let you know that I'm going to take the rest of the week off |

| 1:18.0 | A lot of prep goes into it, obviously booking these guests, but editing and posting and |
| 1:22.2 | producing the show is where the bulk of the work is. |
| 1:25.3 | So I'm always happy to share these interviews, |
| 1:28.2 | which I love, love, love doing. |
| 1:30.1 | Today was just so great. |
| 1:32.2 | I was so honored to talk to E. Jean Carroll today about her new book. |
| 1:36.2 | I hope that you'll get it. |
