Quotes:

“And I was really careful because when I, when I was a public speaker, I was a competitive public speaker in high school and college and what I did was one of the tricks I used to use is I’d have a story in the beginning and I would tie that story back in at the end. If you read my book, I do the exact same thing.” (05:14)

“When you have your philosophy in a distilled form and it’s in a clear narrative format where people can read it and they can say, that’s what this person’s about. That’s the core of what this person is saying.” (13:04)

“It’s, it’s the marketing is so important. I think a lot of authors don’t realizing that you’ve got to just like you, you’ve said, everything you’ve said is wonderful because you have to be so creative to get out there and get your, to get your content, your, your and your message out there.” (19:53)
