But when you get to the other side, you're forever changed.

And we went and asked, had anyone written those or named them for speaking for learning to speak?

And that's what the book ended up being.

Cause we, Nate, we spent a year.

Writing, blogging, thinking about what were the calls that we'd get from people that didn't do well?

And what were they missing along the way?

And so those are the six principles.

And then we put a modern day blueprint in the back of every skill that you need.

To learn to speak.

So if you are a fifth grader and you are 10 years old and you and I had a fifth grader start to read the book last week with a highlighter.

Somebody who got the book at the event and sent me a picture the next morning of her daughter who was there and I got on stage and I said, this book is meant to be read with a highlighter.

and post-it notes.

And she said, mom, look, I'm on page 25 and I've already highlighted the things I want to remember.

This book is for her.

It's also for the 65 year old who's starting a consulting practice in their semi-retirement.

I have a client like that who's learning about what she needs to know about speaking that she never learned.

So it is at its heart, a self-help book that reads like a novel, as someone else said.

So stories and points.

We have three different voices of stories in there from our three coaches.

And then we have a collective voice of perspective and tips and advice that we have spent the better part of 15 years assembling.
