Quotes:

“One of Eileen’s tips was go through your blog, pull out those blog posts you’ve written that would be perfect chapters, and then take a look at those. Reevaluate, tweak, twist, add some more stuff to it.” (13:37)

“I struggled with creative block a little bit. It was really hard for me because this book was what I felt to be kind of my legacy for my family going forward and to get all of the past stories into one book. And so for me, I struggled a lot and I actually had to go away to the lake. I rented an Airbnb for three days to just go and just punch it out. Because trying to do it at home with all of the distractions wasn’t working” (01:27)
