0:00.0	Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host, Madeline, and today we have a special guest host.
0:30.4	Hi. What's your name? Lizzie. It's Lizzie. Lizzie's back. So for those of you who
0:35.6	listen to our SpunkCon episode, Lizzie was the co-host on that one. And Lizzie is back today to talk about a very special topic.
0:45.3	Dignity. It's dignity, yeah. Lizzie chose the topic. But now Lizzie thinks it's maybe a bad topic. I think it's too depressing. It is. I mean...
0:53.3	It made it just become like too personal.
0:55.4	Maybe it got too personal. Shit got too real. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's going to be an interesting
1:00.4	episode though. I think just like the world is depressing and there's no way to talk about anything

1:24.4	comes out in January, but the pre-order numbers are really, really helpful because they count towards the week at debuts.
1:29.2	And if we get enough pre-orders, it debuts really high up on all the fancy lists.
1:33.1	And my personal goal is for it to be Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and Personal Finance, the week of debuts.
1:38.0	My publisher's goal is for it to probably be a New York Times bestseller.
1:42.4	So.
1:43.0	I think it's going to be a bestseller.
1:46.9	I think that it has sold a few copies.
1:49.2	I didn't know what to expect for book sales.
1:50.6	I don't know how much is like a lot,
1:53.4	but they're like, oh, if you sell like 5,000 copies, that's a lot.
1:57.5	Well, I got like a bunch of previews, and I thought it was really good.
