Hey there! You are listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm here

to help you be a genius about the things that matter. And lazy about the things that don't.

Today is episode 312, my favorite chapter from the Lazy Genius Kitchen. Alright, I'm

guessing that's the two listened to this podcast. Thank you very much for that. You probably

listen to other podcasts. A few people just listen to one podcast. And chances are, you

listen to a number of shows that are hosted by an author, like myself. Or maybe you follow

someone Instagram who has written a book. I am like you. I listen to plenty of podcasts

hosts and follow plenty of people on social media who have written books. And I have never

read them. It's not that I don't want to. But there are so many books in the world that

I sometimes just don't. Now ever since I became an author, I make it a point to support

an author by getting their book, even if I don't read it right away. If I am listening

to you and getting your free stuff, I'm grateful for that. And so I'm going to buy the book

as a way to support that free work, even if I don't read it. But I don't always read the

thing. You guys should see my bookshows. So many books. So I say that kind of as an introduction

for today. Maybe you are someone who has gotten the Lazy Genius Kitchen to support me.

Thank you. But you never opened it up. Maybe you're someone who supports me in other

ways, like listening to this podcast. And you kind of forgot about that book. So if you

listen to this show and you have not read either of my books and you feel a little bad

about it, please don't. Please don't. It's very normal. I'll do it too. I read your DMs

and I hear your apologetic tone. Like I love your show. I haven't read the books, but

I've been meaning to I'm sorry. I just want to give you permission. Please don't apologize.

I'm not reading my books. It's really okay. I promise you with my whole actual heart.
