I think that's brilliant.

Yeah, no, I think you allude to it there is that, um...

And I had a tough time.

Most of us are, a lot of us, not, I mean, a lot of people are people pleasers, and that, that's good.

Like, you assimilate to the tribe.

That's been good for thousands of years.

If you mirror someone, you assimilate to the tribe.

But, um, what are you thinking about today and, and, and in the future with AI?

What would be the path that you would initially recommend to them?

Yeah, I mean, historically, looking back 15 years ago, I'd be like, get a publisher for that first one, save credibility.

I don't think you need that anymore.

And so you got to figure out what...

I was talking to this woman that's got her first book, and I go, it looks like in your personality that you really want to have control over the cover and everything.

And I go, you don't want to use a publisher, if that's the case.

How much control? And you want speed? You don't want to use a publisher.

to the publisher and things so it's like if you just getting the deal is not what's going to get you to sell a bunch of copies you're like that like you said like that's like step one it's like cool we got a deal you know what i mean but like now the real work begins now you gotta write the book and then it's like cool wrote the book well now you have like two years of promotion after the book gets published to you know continue to get it out there into people's hands and try to get them to read it you know have you found that keynote speaking is like the best way to get your book out there
