Hello and

welcome to another episode of the Grey NATO,

a loose discussion of travel, diving, driving gear,

and most certainly watches, this is episode 143. I'm

James Stacy. I'm joined as ever by my illustrious co-host and future

celebrated author, Jason Heaton. Thanks so much for listening. How you doing

Jason? Oh, I'm doing great. Yeah, it's a it's a busy exciting week here in many. Yeah for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I feel like we've been we've been crawling. I've been watching you crawl towards this weekend or this this this week for a

while to say you know the launch of the book. Yeah it's been it's been a long time coming I

think you know the writing of the book is one thing and then kind of becoming a

publisher for the first time has

been a very sort of baptism of fire sort of learning experience but then now this

this launch is it's exciting it's fun it's fun to see the response I've been putting out

stuff on Instagram and I've done a pre-order for signed copies to my sub-stack subscribers and that's

gone really well but you know it's a lot of a lot of moving parts yeah between shipping software and FedEx and

running to FedEx for dropping things off and that sort of thing but all it's all good

it's all fun it's all part of it well I'm glad to hear you're enjoying

enjoying the process even though the book is technically finished now I guess it it finally starts

that's it's a fun thing though and it's an exciting thing because we're going to have a kind of a bigger chat about the new book and where people can find it and what it's about and we got some other little tidbits for later in the show.

So I think we can keep all that for there.

And I'm excited to hear all about it.

And I have a bunch of questions about what it is to write a book

now that we get a chance to talk about it.
