Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. And I'm here with an awesome guest today, somebody I've gotten to know over the last little while, John Adair. How are you doing? I'm doing well, George. It's a pleasure to be on your podcast today. Yeah, we've had some interesting conversations and we got a topic that might come out of a little left field for people, but amazing strategies and tactics you can take from it, no matter whether you're listening as a business owner or you're trying to create your life. So let me give a little bit of an introduction here of our guest. John's a writer, a poet, lifelong lover of chess. He began playing chess at 10 years old, taught by his father and stepfather, and he's competed in U.S. Chess Federation tournaments. And he wrote the book. He's an author, and he wrote a book, Chess Basics, which has an English and a Spanish edition. he's got a couple other um books a really good one on quotations that's coming up but today what we're going to do is we're going to talk about chess fundamentals and timeless strategies that can inspire you not only to play better but um you know sharpen your thinking in business and life so we're really really glad to have you here john maybe what you could do is give us a little bit of your backstory kind of how where did you come from and how did you come up to this because usually you know a lot of listeners are like oh backstory you know we get a lot of story on a lot of different people, but you got a very interesting backdrop to why you wrote this book. So bring us up to speed with why you did this. Sure. I guess it was back in 2020 that my brother gets a call. I shouldn't give you the backdrop. We were in full COVID mode. We were in lockdown mode. Nobody was doing anything. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. So Georgia was really eerie. They had the whole city locked down during COVID. I got a call from my brother one day, Dan, he lives about three houses down from me at that time. And he says, he says, Aiden is starting to play chess. Well, Aiden is his grandson. He was 10 years old at the time. And as you've just stated, that's when, that's the same age I was when I started to play chess. I was 10 years old, but I go get out of town. Aiden's playing chess. He goes, yeah. And he's really good supposedly. So, um, that just got my wheels turning. Uh, you know, we were on lockdown. We weren't working. My brother had started a tour company here in Las Vegas called Mr. Las Vegas Tours. He had sold that company, but I was one of his drivers there working part-time anyway, but we weren't working. So I decided to write a little tutorial for my grandnephew, Aiden, who I positively adore. I should tell you, Aiden was a very, very bright kid. When he was over here, they dropped Aiden over for me to take care of them. Dan and his wife were going out to town or whatever. But I would give him these toothpick geometric forms. They were problems. They were problems that needed to be solved. I gave him probably three or four over a two-year period. Well, Aiden had always solved them, but they kept getting harder as they went along. I remember the hardest one that I had given to him. he had been working on it for about 25 minutes remember this is like an eight-year-old kid yeah you're challenging him yeah and and i went up to him he's sitting over in the living room behind me and and i said aiden you want me to tell you the answer and he looks up at me his eyes were watery he goes no uncle chelan no i don't want you to tell me okay okay that's fine And anyway, he solved it about 10 minutes later. This was a very tough geometric toothpick problem. So anyway, with that in mind, I wanted to write for him a little tutorial. It turned out to be about 68 pages long. It was just basic stuff that I had learned when I was playing chess. And it was some stuff in there I wish that other people had told me, you know, as I was going up the ladder. So anyway, I put it together. There was just some basic stuff about chess. I tried to break it up into some lessons. It came out to about 68 pages. I went to one of the local Kinkos. I had it spiral bound, put a nice plastic page on the front. And it just so happened, I think they were, my brother had announced this to me in July. The family was coming out to visit with Grandpa. They were coming out in December for Christmas holidays. and I finished it just in time to give it to his mother my niece Krista I said this is for uh this is for Aiden um so she's looking through and she goes wow Uncle Sean this is just fantastic she says are you thinking about publishing it and George the truth be told that was the furthest it never even entered my yeah yeah you were just loving it yeah I was just loving it and uh so Anyway, I gave it to Aidan. He was very appreciative and I was looking at it right away. I think we played a game shortly after that, showing him some stuff. But anyway, I went back home after that experience, George, and I looked and I thought about what my niece had said about publishing it. And the truth be told, there was no way on God's green earth that I could have published the unedited book in that form. riddled with typos, all kinds of stuff that could have been written much tighter and so on and so forth. But I let it sit for about six months. And I think about six months later, I decided to rewrite one of the chapters in there, one of the lessons. And it came out really, really good. And that got me to wanting to rewrite and actually expand it to 10 lessons. And that started the launch really of writing the chess book that is now called chess basics. Yeah, you know, it's interesting because I, it's interesting how it came about and there's principles in this. I really want to make sure people understand. So I want to unpack it for him a minute. So I got a couple of questions that came to mind for me. Number one, you know, you grew up and you were drawn to this game in the first place, right? So there's people that are out there that have passions for things that first of all, they would never have any clue could turn into anything successful like this. So I'm curious first, what drew you to chess and, you know, how did that kind of shape your life over the years? What was the reason that you had been drawn to it and sort of had this passion and expertise, which I like to call, you know, uniqueness to chess? Yeah, good question. Yeah, I saw my dad. My dad would come over. He had already, they had already divorced. My mom and dad had already divorced several years before. But my mom always stayed friends with him and he would come over. usually it was to pick us up and take us to a movie you know and back then it was like either a john wayne western or a jerry lewis comedy movie but um sometimes he would sit down with my stepfather and play a game of chess well i was fascinated by that you know i you know i didn't even know how the pieces move but i would looking at them and of course i learned how the pieces moved by watching them play so you know after after several months of watching them play every time he would come over, he would play a game with my stepfather. I begged my cat to play a game. I knew some of the basics already, how to move the pieces. And he would always wipe me out in about four or five moves. Yeah. Best lesson there. Yeah. Came out with the queen real quick, you know, and I go, oh, holy moly. So I knew he'd wipe out my whole king side with the queen uh salvo right away and so i just was fascinated by the game from that time as i was 10 years old i had just turned 10 and uh i think it kind of just grew out of that it was kind of a slow passion i would play with friends that knew how to play or i play i would go up to strangers and stuff so yeah yeah you're right i just had a passion for the game then as it went along i kept learning and then started reading books started analyzing my games that kind of stuff you know You know, it's what's interesting. And it's a note that if you're listening to this, this episode is a really cool core lesson. And that is there are things in life that you're naturally drawn to and you were drawn to that. You had a passion for it, but you continue to pursue it. And a lot of people don't. And then all of a sudden this opportunity came up for you to write this booklet for your grandnephew. And it turned into something that, you know, you went further with and then, you know, turned into an opportunity. So I'm curious what made you decide to go that extra level and create the book? Because you did this for him. That was your purpose. You did it. You got some good feedback, but you also... I curious what made you decide to go down this route of being a writer and writing the book Because then you now doing other writing What kind of pivoted in your life that made you want to become a writer not just this person that passionate about chess Right Good question I think I always had a passion for writing from an early age, too. I don't think it started at 10 years old. It started probably a little bit later, like around 14 or 15, when I was in grade school. So at that time, at that time, George, I was going to a small little grade school over in the San Fernando Valley called Dixie Canyon Avenue School. But here's a little story that just came to mind right now. Our teacher asked us to write book reports. And they said there was no limit on the book reports that you could write during the semester, right? So anyway, there was some, usually I found out there was always the girls were the brightest one in the class. You know, always that girl over in the corner and she was the smartest one. Anyway, long story short, I actually wrote 21 book reports for that class when I was in the fifth grade. Oh, wow. At Dixie Canyon, F&M School. Well, the next closest person to me, I think, was at nine book reports. So I always kind of had a, I always had a thing for, uh, uh, started developing, I think a little, a little bit later for me, like when I was about 14 or 15 writing, like write silly little things. And, you know, you're forcing in, uh, the teachers and professors later would always want your class assignments. But I think, um, in my senior year of high school is when it really started kicking hit. I would offer friends to write a letter. They had to write a letter. I don't want to write a letter, I'm going to write a letter to someone. I said, let me help you with that letter. So I just, Well, and I think you mentioned to me when we, when we talked before that, you know, there was a point where your, you know, the loss of your brother also kind of helped you, you, you, you use that as an opportunity to kind of turn to, to writing as a way of healing. And, you know, I just had a Franklin Planner podcast we did the other day where we talk about the power of writing and things like that. So I just thought it was an interesting thing to add is you've got this unique talent and passion for writing and chess, but you really. at this point for your grandnephew and then with the loss of your brother, it really turned into something that you utilized, compound that with COVID, right? Right. That helped you, correct? That's right, George. And I started with my brother, as you mentioned, after the loss of my brother back in 2000, actually 1996, we lost our brother, Robert. And we were all hurting as a family. My mother was totally destroyed. and um one of the things you know i wrote a letter to my brother i wrote i started to write a letter to my brother and then i said well you know what i think i'm gonna write it in spanish because i felt that spanish lent itself more to the types of things that i wanted to say to him got it and so i started doing that's well that started feeling good started feeling better and then it kind of turned into a poem a poem in spanish with like 24 stanzas took me two years and nine months to write my spanish was a little bit rusty back then um you know so i i had to up my game but after the whole project was finished uh it did bring me a great deal of inner calm and relief and uh and acceptance i guess in lack of well there's a lot to be said for just that power of writing. And I think that, you know, people, whether it's in their life or business or anything else, whether that's a natural talent or not, there's a big healing power in that. So let's pivot and turn our focus for a minute to the book, because the book isn't just a bunch of fundamentals and lessons. And I was really surprised to see just the massive size of the chess industry, both players and tournaments and things like I thought of it as like, oh, that's a game people play, but man, this is a major, major industry. And, and as you start to dig in, you start to realize the strategy and the techniques and, and those types of things. So talk to me about the book itself. Um, because you know, chess, chess has so many different ways to be applied in life, but just the book itself and how you put it together and what it does. Sure. Thank you. Um, George, one of the things that my book, and this is going to sound funny to you, one of the things that sets it apart, I would say 98 out of a hundred chess books out there do not have something so simple as a vocabulary section do not have that i wanted a vocabulary section in there that brings in culture and the lingo and everything so now you're absorbing chess culture right and it's about in my vocabulary session is about three pages now i did i looked at some book a dusty old chess book that i had in the closet the guy did have a vocabulary section in there. It's a total joke. It's stuff that you would never use in a million years. Uh, it has some stuff about, uh, the German chess federation. So I wanted stuff, uh, um, that had to do with tactics and strategy, uh, that could be applied and a chess player could talk about that with another chess player. It would be understood. So I wanted to bring, I wanted to bring chess culture to the book. So I do have a three-page, just alone on vocabulary. Another section that I have is just some very, very chess basic. You know, in the book, one of the things I mentioned there, you see a lot of chess games that are illustrated maybe in a magazine that kind of sell a tequila or a drink or a cigarette, whatever. And it never ceases to amaze me to see the chess board set up incorrectly where you'll have a black square in the right-hand corner and chess books never address that maybe it's so simple but my book is dedicated to beginning players but this is basic white square in the right-hand corner that's absolutely basic it's the setup of the king and queen what's the rule for how they set up in the middle so you have this setup of vocabulary and chess basics which means anybody and everybody can get it but i thought it was also interesting that your book highlights great players quotes from legends even a tribute to bobby fisher like what uh you you really did add a lot of context to this book so keep going what else is in it yeah yeah so like you said i have these great player profiles uh i've met some of the great players there i've actually had small interactions with them i talked one of them was a russian grandmaster uh that i talked about in the book well because of because of the fact that i did meet him we did press flesh i did follow one of his games at a chess tournament uh eddie gufeld who himself was that was a giant in the chess world wrote over a hundred books visited over 80 countries through his life but so anyway i have some highlights on him magnus carlson who just uh stepped down as the reigning world champion uh he held that position for it was uh 10 years or 12 years but he just just recently stepped down. I think it was in 24. I talk about him. I talk about a woman chess master. What a fascinating story that is. The father homeschooled his three girls sometimes six, seven hours a day just on chess. But guess what? It's the strongest chess siblings in the history of the game ever. Well, and there's so many parallels of chess to life and business and strategy and so it is interesting as i got i kind of went down the rabbit hole with you on this it the interesting facts that i learned and the size and scope of it but you also decided to write an english and a spanish edition what made you decide to do the spanish edition well right so the publishers had contacted me after the english book had already come out it was already published on amazon and we're getting some sales and whatnot uh the publishers uh contacted me and they said john you know what it i should mention that the publishers was all latino group it was true latina women that that owned the company they have a staff of seven including two phds on the staff and so we had hit it off from the beginning but she says to me one day she goes john we'd love to publish your book in spanish well i'm from the spanish culture my mother was uh born in argentina i said i think that's a fantastic idea and so anyway we went with the spanish edition it took about almost close to a year they wanted to get it right that the translation and everything i said it's probably going to come out thicker um i said indy her name is indiana i said the spanish usually takes some more words to say the same thing than it does in english but it came out i think it just like a couple pages longer they did an excellent job They wanted to do it I just asked one favor of the publishers I said I had written a piece before just for the fun of it on Mexico very first international Grandmaster Gentleman by the name of Carlos Dore I just wanted them to include that piece in the book, which would have been an addition. And they said, we'd love to do that. And so we added that one eight-page article on Carlos Dore. Yeah, it is fascinating to me. And I think when people are listening to this, they're hearing things about, you know, you've got this passion you leaned into, you had this opportunity to go down the road. And just the scope that this taken because you leaned into that. And, you know, there's a whole direct, indirect correlation to chess and strategy and life and business and stuff as well. But I think it's a great testament to what's happening. And it's through that process that you've also now really embraced the authorship of writing books and things as well. So it's a great testament. I'm curious because you mentioned before that life, you know, like chess, requires a lot of strategy and purpose and things. What lessons have you really taken from this in life? And maybe there's young chess players out there or individuals, even entrepreneurs and business owners. like what is it that you feel is such a parallel that that you would you would say about this you know i would say and i think magnus carlson would agree with this uh too he's probably the now he's the highest rated player ever in the history of the game he's the one that was uh world champion for 10 years he well his his one of his teachers for one year was uh the russian grandmaster gary kasparov so he was his yes but anyway i think i do agree with him chess teaches you to make decisions you gotta make decisions sometimes under some very tough circumstances and some to shoot in a very short period of time too that's another thing about chess that some people may not understand or realize is that when you go to a tournament these are clocked events you're playing again you can't just sit there for two hours and that you know you're that's an uncomfortable situation yeah you're playing for time and you press the clock that activates the other guys he presses the clock it activates your clock and the clock is going tick tock tick tock so you got to come up so i think decision making is one of the things uh that that just teaches young people you've got it whether it's a good move a bad move or a medium move you still got to make that move yeah decision making is this one of the parallels in in life And I have some great quotes under the success, success of winning in the book that have to do with decision making. That's one of the criteria, one of the elements that makes successful people successful. Yeah, there's so many because, you know, thinking strategically, thinking many moves ahead, knowing where you're going. This isn't a random game, putting yourself into uncomfortable situations and making decisions because decisiveness for entrepreneurs is a big thing as well. So, you know, so I'm curious, you know, for somebody who maybe is just learning chess, right? They're like, that game sounds so complicated. And I mean, I just play it, but, you know, whatever. Because it does require a little bit of strategy and things like that. Or they're hesitant. Let's say somebody wants to learn chess or they're hesitant. What are the first principles or mindset shifts that they need to adopt to kind of get started into that game? Yeah, sure. I would say just really play. You know, I was asking somebody, one of the, um, my neighbors, it's about four houses down. Uh, she bought the book and she's had me meet, uh, some friends of hers, but we came over with their son that they bought a book and saw, but I said, Linda, just set up the board, just play, just actually do a simple game. Even if you get wiped out in five minutes, just start playing. That's, that's the beauty of the game. What a great lesson in life, right? Most people just don't start yeah yeah just get started just play just dive in there and then things will start to come into focus um then of course if you read my book or any dress book for that matter you start applying some of those principles that are in there and things start to come together you go oh yeah i never thought about that yeah you know it's uh it's you're you're a great example one of the reasons i wanted to have you on the show is you're a great example of somebody who took their passion, leaned into it, created some opportunity around it, and then it actually took you down the path. And I wasn't going to do this on this interview, but I wanted to actually, I made a note here to ask you, this led you into this book of quotations that you're going to be doing. And it's a curated book of quotations. Let's be very specific because I think this is going to be a real big hit, but you've chosen this and kind of collected these over the last, gosh, I don't know, like what, 24 years or something you've been doing since 2000? Yeah. How has this helped kind of shape things that you're doing? Because I think a lot of people are hesitant to lean into the things they love and they don't realize that stuff they're doing can turn into opportunity for themselves. So talk to me just a minute about this book that's going to be coming out here real soon. Yeah, sure. So I think once again, you've got a passion for something. And I like the way you say it, leaning into it. And this particularly started with a visit to my daughter. She lives over in Colorado Springs, Colorado. And on the last day of the visit, I was out there for three or four days. She says, Dad, I got a surprise. I'm not going to tell you what it is. But well, anyway, she invited me to go see the new Paralympic Museum over in Colorado Springs, Colorado. So we went there and I was just blown away. It was really well done. It's a huge, huge building. And I could tell that they had, they got professional curators in there to do on this museum. You just tell by the layout and everything. But there was some fantastic, you know, they'd have these huge, you know, like four or five times the size of a normal person. But they'd have the person up there, the cutout. Then this quote underneath it, I call this is just inspiring. Some of them are just fantastic quotes, quotes that you don't see in the everyday. So anyway, long story short, I came away with probably 10 or 11 great quotes. Of course, when I got back, when I got back home, that led me to investigate some other people from previous, from previous Olympics. and you know so next thing you know i got like 20 quotes now just in the sports realm there alone so it started it started with that and i when i got the new quotes i went back to the notebook that i had had of these collected quotes and i started adding them and i said wait a second why don't i just write a book on these because these are and plus what i had from the previous 20 some odd years these are just fantastic quotes and they're in all realms too zen motivational thinking all success in winning now you got the sports stuff added in there you know so different categories so i said god i should probably should write a book this is fantastic stuff i was getting a little bit of feedback from some people too and what i found out yours too and you probably found this out yourself everybody loves a great quote yeah they they really do are they are the things that people turn to especially if you looked online like they turn to when they're looking for inspiration and motivation and they're looking for it because they can also relate it there's always a story behind it and things like this and that's a that's a powerful tool if you're whether you're building a business living your life or whatever quotes really are a tool for you yeah yeah they are and um it's it's surprising to me okay it actually did sneak up on me and kind of surprised me uh the level of enthusiasm and acceptance of books you know i was down at the supermarket well one day and i was talking to the the lady the clerk there and you're gonna write a book i quote you know she almost started salivating i love what i you know oh yeah this is the girl at the supermarket yeah so i have isn't this crazy how passionate like this is why like people wouldn't think about quotes chess things like this but that's why i say i can't say it enough like you you know you've shared this advice before it's like find your purpose and if you can't do that follow your passion and uh and so i i really love that and i love what you've been doing and i'm curious you know if you had to sort of leave the audience with a piece of advice or wisdom about life, learning, legacy, something like that. I try to ask this of most of our guests. What would that, what would your advice be? Get involved get involved stay involved do different stuff uh get uncomfortable go before a group and speak what do they say that's the number one fear most people i joined a i joined a council i was actually elected to a council in los angeles and i had to get up before people and speak yes you got butterflies in your stomach and everything just do it get out there uh do stuff that's uncomfortable for you, push yourself out into different stuff. But I think the main thing I would tell people, uh, get involved and that that's true. Uh, follow your passion. If you have a passion, follow it. Um, a lot of times that I think your purpose too. Yeah. And, and that's why, like, I love how you said that actually get involved, get involved in life. You know, um, you, you've had, you know, multiple careers and this type of thing. And who would have known if you hadn't been involved in life, how things would have turned, the chess basics and the quote book and stories and memories and things with your family. And, you know, that is probably one of the best pieces of advice because so many people, especially, you know, entrepreneurs and business owners and people that are trying to create their life and do their thing and they want to find that thing. But success leaves clues, you know, happiness and purpose drive things, but you'll never find that if you don't just get involved. I love that. Yeah, you got to get out there, get involved, stay focused, to get out there. Absolutely. And I know we got a little off topic with the chess basics, but I want to make sure that if people want to, or they've thought about how they could use a topic like this, get involved in chess and things, what's the easiest way for them to do that? Would it be to go to Amazon? And we can certainly put those links in the show notes as well. Absolutely. Go to Amazon. If they want to purchase my book, go to Amazon, purchase the book, Chess Basics, or the Spanish version, which is Conceptos Básicos de la Jadrez. So it's the same book, but just in Spanish. But to get involved, if people want to get involved in chess, I would definitely turn them loose on YouTube. There's a universe of stuff out there. They can watch games. They can watch games. They can see interviews with these chess masters. Like you said earlier, and you said something very interesting, George. You said you were just blown away at the chess culture. Massive size, yeah. You know, with the interviews and the tournaments and the grandmasters and everything. It's a whole universe out there that people would be surprised to find out. I'm sure this is the same thing with people with doing quilting. It's probably a whole little universe out there. But with chess, I would direct them to YouTube to get started too. Get yourself a good book. go to YouTube, see some of these chess masters, uh, talk about basic principles to a class. Maybe they're even up there with the, with the, with the blackboard. Uh, maybe they're discussing stuff and they got the chess board over to the left. You can see the pieces moving. Yeah. And, uh, most of these guys that are on YouTube, I have to say are really positively just fantastic, uh teachers and tutors that's just one strategist yeah and strategists yeah yeah and it's you know it is it does really uh bring to you know people wouldn't think that this is that but there may be passions that they have and things that they're doing that they don't realize how big the the world is for things and so you know and you aren't until you get in there um but i have learned some things from chess and i think the strategy the the involvement things like that have have makes a big difference for you in every area of your life. So I think so. I think so. There's a lot of principles that you can take from the game of chess, adapt it to the game of life, if you will. Yeah. And, you know, you're asking, you were talking a little while ago, I think it was Charlie of all people. He gave me the name. There's a couple of people that really influenced and mentored him when he was coming along. One of them was a coach, basketball coach, college basketball coach, Don Meyer. Don Meyer. and he had some fantastic books but one of them is life is a uh what is it is a teen sport yeah she's for it you gotta get out there you gotta get that yeah and you know i think there's so many lessons to be learned but the success is in the is clues in in all this stuff and that's why people need to do it well i i i certainly appreciate having you on and and uh you know And for those of you that are listening, I want you to take away a few different lessons and definitely connect with John. I'll put a bunch of the links in the show notes so you can do that. But, you know, look, it's never too late to start living the life you were meant to live, the one that you want to live. But you do need to get out there. You've got to get involved. You've got to take action. And so hopefully this has kind of inspired you a little bit to do that and given you some strategies and tactics at the same time. Is there anything else that you want to leave our guests with? Oh, there we go. Okay. I lost you. So let's do that again because I can clip that part out. So, John, is there anything else you want to leave our guests with before we take off? Yeah, absolutely. In the book, both the English and Spanish versions, there's a nice tribute to Bobby Fisher in there. He was my favorite player growing up. Of course, you had the backdrop of the Cold War going on between the United States and the Soviet Union. That's the backdrop. What a backdrop to have, right? And so, you know, pressure was building up and he had to play Boris Spassky from the Soviet Union, you know. But anyway, I have a nice tribute in there to Bobby Fisher. I've been working on that piece probably for about 15 years. I redid it. I had it. I published that piece many, many years ago, but then I re redid it for the book and it came out really nice. But for the Spanish edition, I have a nice tribute for Mexico's very first grandmaster, chess grandmaster. His name is Carlos Torre. He's quite an incredible person, George. A picture, a 20 year old Mexican kid who had moved to the United States from Mexico when he was 10 years old. So all of his main formative years in his childhood was in the United States, New Orleans. Now he's a 20-year-old kid. He goes to Moscow in 1925, huge international tournament. All the greatest players in the world are there. And his round, I think it was the round 11, he's up against a former world champion. Not any world champion. He's up against Emmanuel Lasker, who still to this date has the record for the longest championship, just shy of 27 years. Oh, wow. That's 26 years, 10 months, and so many days. He's up against Emmanuel Lasker. Carlos had the white pieces. But he beats this former world master. and I tell in the article, just because he's a, don't think he was on any kind of decline. He stays strong for another 10 or 12 years. He was still the number one or two player in the world for the next 10 or 12 years. And Carlos Torre, this 20 year old unknown Mexican kid beats him in such an elegant and beautiful and convincing manner. So look for that article in the book. It's a great article. It tells a lot about chess history, chess culture. Even for even a non-chess player, you just want to read a lot of it. Pretty intense story, yeah. Yeah, pretty intense stuff. And then, of course, the piece on Bobby Fischer, like I say, has probably taken me about 15 years to write. But he was my favorite chess player, and he was one of my heroes when I was a teenager. Wow. Yeah, so that just gives great examples of the entertainment value, the knowledge, the history, the stuff that's included in this book. So yeah, go check it out. We're super excited about it. I've learned a lot. And I hope that those of you that are listening really take some action in your life, follow your passions, do what you need to do. And like I said, let us know what you're doing.
