A book, yeah.

Well, thanks for having us on.

You say a lot's changed, but it feels like, you know, we would just keep doing the same thing, going behind the microphone and recording podcasts.

I guess that's lockdown brain.

But, yeah, it's exciting.

The book is out.

We wrote it at the end of last year and then went through months and months of editing.

So we're pretty excited that it's now out.

Now finally out.

We exist in a media where it's like the production and then release schedule is, you know, week on week.

Books are months and months of planning and editing and, you know, getting it all made.

So, yeah, it was a pretty long timeline, but it's, you know, we're pretty happy that it's out.

I guess we started this journey years ago trying to learn ourselves and we've made every mistake along the way when trying to learn how to invest.

And neither of us studied finance, neither of us worked in finance, but we wanted to learn and we, I guess, taught ourselves and used the podcast as an excuse to get smart people to talk to us and teach us.

And

What we found was that you can teach yourself and you can learn to invest.

And really that was where we started.

It was, you know, we just wanted to basically put down in writing everything that we'd learned, all the mistakes we'd made, some of the lessons from the experts we've spoken to.

But really the starting point for us was,

this is what we wish we had in 2011 when Bryce and I first met or 2014 when we were living together and I lost all my money on Slater and Gordon.
