Guys, it's been, I think, a little over a week now, and I can't thank you enough for all the

kind words and the great feedback on this special. I am going to sit here and pat myself on

the back. I went from almost being killed to releasing this special. And it's been a two and a half

year labor of love. And we crushed it.

I found every single person to work on this within a single dad budget living in this expensive-ass city of Los Angeles.

And I'm going to say we crushed it.

We did.

This is nothing like my last special.

This special is special.

It's a bit of a one-man show, a retelling of a near-death

experience, live and alive, streaming on my YouTube now, and go give it some extra love,

because YouTube demonetized it. Within two days, somebody complained about it. They took it out of

the algorithm. We fought. They got us back in there, but it's already killed the momentum. So it is what it is. Go over there. Tell everyone, share everyone, like, comment, help to get back in that algorithm, all right? And while you're there, go to the store, all right? Go to Ryan Sickler.com. Click on the merch. We've got fall clear in sale going on right now. You're going to get a free t-shirt and three free gifts with every apparel purchase. We got $10 T's and hats. We got $20 hoodies and pants. That's joggers. That's night pants. I'm telling you, you're not going to find this sale anywhere else. Get it now.

When they're gone, they're gone. Christmas is coming. Go to the merch store now. Get your

fuck Steve shirts. Get your honeydew merch. Go get it now.

I have a new book coming out. It is called It's Not Magic, the ordinary skills of exceptional leaders. It is well worth a look at in a world where everyone is being told they can't lead. This is the book that'll tell you some basic

skills. Take a look at it. Also, I'm not quite as prolific as you on social media, but I'm on
