How you doing, brother?

I am fantastic, man.

I'm fired up.

I'm excited about this, and let's do it, man.

Let's talk.

I don't even know where to start, but I am going to start by asking you, could you have

seen yourself five years write a book?

I've always, when I was teaching i always something would happen or there'd be a story that would happen from the student that you know that light

that in my i got to note that. So when I write my book,

but I was just joking. I mean, I'd never know. I mean, that part of it, I would have never

thought I would have written a book. And most of it is because of you. You might not know this,

but you sent something out last year and it was about writing blogs and articles and getting things out like that.

And I wrote back, oh, I'd love to do that with, you know, let me know and I'd love to help with that.
