When I first started picking up books, it was just because I was...

I was curious about the human condition coming out of the military as I'm sure you were.

Like I just, I was curious why I viewed the world that I, the way that I did.

And I wanted to find some answers.

I started out with like the Robert Green and the Jordan Peterson, and then started diving into like the deeper philosophical questions of the meaning of life and why is there war and all this stuff.

And,

My reading nowadays is completely different, but I've never gone through a self-help phase ever.

Well, your wife just wrote a children's book and that's been something that's been kind of on my mind.

And like, I've read that book multiple, multiple times and like writing a children's book is so freaking hard.

Like the concept of it to like, I'm wrapping my head around it.

Is she come from a writing background?

Well, it's got such deep, meaningful messaging baked into it at such like a simple level.

And that's a really, really hard, deceivingly hard thing to do.

To like paint that picture in an appealing way to little kids.

And I mean, right now with AI and all these cartoons and stuff, I feel like it's really easy for the kids' brains to just get rotted watching that stuff.

And so we're really trying to incorporate books like that with good, strong, meaningful messages for OP.

Yeah.

Well, I got all the animals she could ever want to pet.

She'd love it.

She'd love it.
