0:00.0	Oh, Yeah, yeah. Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.
0:33.0	So in my last episode, which was released several months ago,
0:37.0	I said that I was back for my book promotion hiatus
0:40.0	and would be adopting a more regular podcast schedule again.
0:44.0	Right after I said that, I went on the view, which ended up being the most viral media moment of my career by far.
0:52.0	Thanks to the hostility I received from one of the hosts named
0:55.1	Sunny Hosten. And as a result I got a whole slew of new requests to promote my book on
1:01.2	various shows, podcasts, and events.
1:04.0	So my book promo period suddenly got extended in a way that I didn't foresee.
1:09.1	Neil Ferguson actually gave me very good advice on this point recently. He said that book promotion doesn't

1:41.2	Specifically, these are people who signed up to support me through PayPal prior to
1:46.6	2024 and have tried to unsubscribe in the first five months of this year.
1:52.6	If you're having that problem, don't worry.
1:55.2	I've identified the source and I've been working with PayPal
1:57.7	for the past month to rectify it.
2:00.0	You will all be fully reimbursed and unsubscribed in the next few weeks if you haven't already.
2:06.0	Thank you for your patience on that as well.
