0:00.0	If you're a parent who wants to instill in their child the time-honored tradition of rooting for your favorite sports team,
0:06.6	we've got the perfect present to go under your tree. Future Fans Sports. Future Fans is a storybook-led activity box that helps little kids become big fans of football or soccer by embedding the rules of those sports into games and activities.
0:22.8	Future Fans was invented by a dad whose five-year-old daughter was not particularly interested in
0:27.7	his team's run to the Super Bowl until he created an entirely new way to help kids fall in love
0:33.8	with the sport. Future fans uses fun games like a beanbag toss game to explain how downs
0:39.0	in football work. And then there's a book that connects those concepts back to football and makes it all
0:44.7	super clear. I feel like I'm getting football for the first time. Reading the future fans book,
0:48.9	I was like, oh, that's why they get to fourth down and then start over. Thank you. Design for kids under 10 and their sports fan adult.
0:56.9	Future Fans is only 4999 at futurefans.com.

1:28.8	7th, like a little New Year's present for yourself. Here's why I would really, really like you
1:34.4	to order, happy to help now. Pre-sales matter. Publishers and retailers use pre-order data to make big
1:41.0	decisions. When a book gets a lot of pre-sale orders, the publishers increase the print run, then bookstores think they should take more copies, then the media
1:48.3	becomes more likely to cover it. And it all starts with readers who pre-order a book. If you've
1:54.1	already pre-ordered, happy to help, thank you so much. If not, happy to help is for anyone
1:59.5	who enjoys this podcast, and here's how you can pre-order
2:02.6	it. Just go to your favorite online retailer, bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target. Just search
