Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of The Emma Gunn Show and a midweek installment of bullet points. Oh, I do like saying that again.

This will have cropped up on your feed on perhaps a day when you aren't expecting it, but bullet points I'm trying to bring it back slowly.

Well, not slowly, but just as in when there's something interesting to say.

And actually, I thought this was worth a short episode, a short little bit of your day to just talk about a book that I have just read.

And the reason why I wanted to bring this up is because I have, over the

last six months to a year, really taken a step back from reading, consuming too many things,

having interviewed so many authors and read so many books. I think I sort of read myself into an overflow. I was at maximum

capacity for all of these different ideas, ideals, philosophies, all of these different things.

And they were beginning to get jumbled up into one. And actually, I think they had started to become meaningless because there is,

maybe there's nothing new in this space that I was looking in. And so everything felt

slightly regurgitated, slightly, oh, well, this did well for this person, so let me just use that and leverage it

for my own needs wants and fame. And I just sort of, yeah, we've been through this before I found

a bit tacky. Anyway, for some reason, I was turned to think, actually I'm going to download this

book. And it was actually Jamie Genevieve,

the makeup artist and brand owner who mentioned it on her Instagram stories and I really like

Jamie I think she's going places I mean she's really good she is really going places she's

I think only just 30 but her business is absolutely thriving she's like Forbes 30 under 30 or was Forbes 30 under 30

um she is just she is one of those people who has had an idea turned it into something real and

it is just gathering a pace and I look at that and I think wow that looks so impressive I'm so

impressed by you and so when she shares a book, I think, okay,

if this is a component part of the momentum of your success, then I want a piece of that action.

So I thought, okay, I'm going to download that book. You know that feeling where you see somebody
