Great to be with you as always, Josh.

You like New York?

I have an apartment here in the city.

It debuted at number one on Amazon, number 14, by the way.

You need to read it as an advisor because you have clients who have children of college-headed age.

They're teens or tweens, or you're a grandparent of such kids.

And we need to re-evaluate the entire college question, which no college book on the market does, which is why I wrote mine.

Okay, what is it called?

The Truth About College.

It is that we parents, grandparents, are viewing college incorrectly.

The motive...

in American society is to get your kids into college.

And every book, every tutor, every high school guidance counselor, every parent is all focused on how to get the kid in, how to choose the right school, how to pay for it, how to prep for the SAT, how to prepare the application.

It's all designed about college.

High school guidance counselors are often evaluated on how many high school seniors go to college.

So there isn't an idea of any other course.

of any other path.
