Boca Raton, whatever the fuck.
You should talk about this.
But not to me.
It'd be really great if you didn't talk to me about it.
I don't need it from you.
I tried to tell you that.
How many copies of the Navalmanac have you sold now?
It's tough to know, but I think we're coming up on 2 million.
How's that feel?
I'm still, uh, the word I like to use is gobsmacked.
Like I really thought I was doing fan service for a few thousand Naval nerds.
And the fact that that's like 40 languages and millions of people and we've given away a few million more, right?
Like I don't even really know.
Yeah.
Which is another like 5 million plus really hard to track.
I had no idea how many people were going to resonate with it and recommend it.
I think the highest compliment a book can receive is to be gifted.
So much of what we read comes from what's recommended.
How often do you see an ad for a book and buy it?
Almost never.
