Hey, everyone. In a world of sequels and reboots, we make sure to be original. Today's episode is

Hamilton the Revolution, a podcast based on a book, based on a musical, based on a book, based on a man,

based on a kind of dollar. I'm Kellyn Erskine. I'm a comic, a father, and true story on March 11th

of 2020. I was in New York City with my buddy Ryan, and we failed to get Hamilton

tickets from their daily lottery drawing. And then the next day, Broadway closed indefinitely.

So I hope it learned its lesson.

Hamilton The Revolution by Lynn Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McArthur gives backstory on the world's most popular musical.

Pro tip, if you tell people Hamilton is overrated, you are so cool.

And this is the book pile.

So quick reminder to please rate and review the book pile. It helps us a lot.

And every new review gives me an endorphin spike, so you know I'm in a healthy place with this. We also got a very nice

review from Sally Powell. It's real long so we can't read all of it. But she said, this is the best

podcast. It's for everyone. It's everything. Witty men talk about books. You could listen with your

grandma. You'll learn and laugh. Also, she left a part where she thought maybe we wouldn't be friends

in real life because she wouldn't be funny enough. Sally, I have lots of not funny friends.

Yeah, I mean, you don't have to be funny to be my friend. You just have to be rich.

Seriously, thank you.

There have been so many very kind reviews.

All right, and without further ado, here are our favorite lessons from Hamilton, The Revolution.

All right, number one, find ideas from anywhere.

So this is an idea we're going to explore more in our episode on Pixar when we do Creativity Inc. But I'm

struck by the way that Lynn just really pulls inspiration from so many parts of his life.
