Welcome to Screw the Cloud. I'm your host, Steve Stanioulis. Each week, we're going to have amazing guests share their

stories of saying, screw it. Tune in each week, this is Screw the Cloud.

Welcome to another episode of Screw the Cloud. My name is Steve Staluelus, and we have a really, really interesting guest today.

I'm very excited.

We have Mr. Eric Ordeon, who I actually, like most of my guests, have some sort of relationship with over the years.

He just finished a book, which I'm so excited to read but it's called three years in

pakistan so eric welcome to the show i i really appreciate you having me on the show uh i

finally completed my book it's called three years in pakistan the eric i day story it took me

forever to write it because i kept trying to uh it took me exactly two years to write it seven

years to edit and it wasn't because i was procrastinate or anything it's just because i kept trying to uh it took me exactly two years to write it seven years

to edit and it wasn't because i was procrastinate or anything it's just because i would go to

i would have a bunch of ghost writers come in and wanted uh uh write my book but they would spend

three four months with them telling them my story and they would try to go get in advance from a

publishing house you know they were looking for like 150 000 250000, $250,000 just to write my book.

No one was willing to give that kind of money.

So they lose interest.

I'd waste all that time.

And then time would go by and I would do it again and again and again.

And finally, I just had enough.

I kind of got dejected and just sort of sat on it.

Went on with my life. I was doing a movie in Utah called a Code of Honor,

terrible Segal movie, but I was doubling the lead on the movie, a guy named Craig Schaefer.
