Thank you.

No worries.

Thanks for having me, guys.

So the book is called Smashed Avocado and it's a guide for millennials and young people, not strictly millennials, anyone who wants to enter the property market for the first time.

It's my story.

So I moved home with my parents when I turned 30 and I had $11,000 worth of credit card debt.

So I talk about how I turned it around to buy an investment property.

It's also all of that nuts and bolts advice for young people who maybe are a bit bamboozled by the concept of applying for a loan, how much money you need, that sort of thing.

And there's a stack of really amazing creative case studies in there as well.

So really clever young people who found interesting ways to enter the market.

Yeah, it's been out for about three weeks now.

Well, I wrote it pretty fast because there was a pretty strong demand for it.

So I signed with my publisher in September last year and I had the first draft.

I'd started the first draft earlier in the year and I'd completed it by the end of the year.

And then the first half of this year was editing.

Wow, that is quick.

It was pretty quick.

Yeah, editing is definitely difficult.

The challenge is a lot of the information in the book is based on market movements.

So every time something happened in the market, I had to check and make sure I had the most up-to-date information and obviously it's evolved even since the book's come out.
