I'm
Freaking out.
And with my then wife, I was, you know, my partner, you know, I'm kind of a little, but she's like my wife and she, and I'm like, I hate writing and I hate writing so much.
And like, I, and I can't even sell anything right now.
I was working on another book, but no one would buy it because no one had money.
Right.
Right.
And I'm like, she's like, what do you want to do?
I said, like, you know, maybe I should go and try to be a speaker, you know?
And I'm like, well, let's do that.
And I remember this moment.
I called my book agent.
His name was Joel.
And I said, Joel, listen, you know, I really want to go and try to do some speaking events.
He's like, oh, my God, you're a great speaker.
It's great.
Just you got to wait till the movie gets made.
Then they'll come for you.
And I'm like, what did you say?
He's like, wait for the movie.
