0:00.0	Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host Madeline. And I'm your co-host, David. And this week, I am in New York, so we're recording on Zoom. So you might have different audio quality than usual. But if you are one of our Patreon subscribers, we might be uploading
0:38.1	the video version of this on our Patreon. So be sure to hop over there to see if we didn't have
0:43.1	technical difficulties in the process. You can definitely see my weird ass apartment. I like your
0:49.7	apartment. Our other friend used to live there. It's a good apartment. Good apartment.
1:12.9	I think it's nice. I'm at my friend's house right now. So nothing exciting to see here. All right. So Maddie, what do we talk? Oh, wait, do you have bookshit to do? Yes, I do. Thank you, David. Yes. So if you, first of all, if you want to see what's going on over on our Patreon, it's patreon.com slash pick me up. I'm scared. It's $3 a month and we post
1:17.4	bonus content there. We've been trying to do, um, extra supplemental episodes there whenever
1:23.1	possible. But this week, I think the bonus content will just be the video version of this podcast,
1:28.0	which isn't super interesting, but I do know some people like video because it's just easier
1:32.1	for them to engage with. And then the second thing on our housekeeping is about the book.
1:37.4	If you haven't pre-order my book yet, it does come out January 14th. And any orders place
1:42.7	between now and then count towards our debut numbers. And you know,
1:46.6	my personal goal is to have the book debut higher than Rich Dad poured out on personal finance.
1:50.9	And I think we are around 300 copies away from potentially making that happen. So anybody
1:57.0	who hasn't pre-orded it yet, if you wanted to do that now, there's a lot of great places you can pre-ord it.
2:02.0	You can do it wherever books are sold.
2:04.7	And there is a link that I will put in the description of this episode to purchase.
2:09.5	And there's an audiobook component as well.
2:11.2	So audiobook and physical book.
2:13.5	Now, that is all of my kind of like sales pitchy QVC stuff at the beginning.
2:19.9	The way is to monetize our labor, that is all of it.
2:23.8	I think you should have your own QVC channel.
2:27.0	I think you would do very well at it.
