Ryan Leak

So in Chasing Failure, I tell a story about the first version of Chasing Failure.

The Chasing Failure that's out with Thomas Nelson now, nicely buttoned up and whatnot, is the fifth version of Chasing Failure.

So the first version, I self-published it.

It was like 60 pages.

It was essentially the same story.

Somebody watched the documentary.

It was like, hey, I don't really like documentaries.

Can you write it in a book?

And I was like, oh, sure.

So I self-published it, hit print on like a thousand and just like handed it out to my friends and people at my church.

And somebody walks up to me, they go, hey, I hate to break it to you, but there's three typos in it.

I'm like, oh.

So I fixed those three typos and reprinted.

And then I'm speaking at one of the largest churches in America, and a woman walks up to me.

She says, hey, there's about four typos in your book.

Can I help you?

I'm like, Jesus, what is wrong with you, Ryan?

And you have no idea how many people proofread it, including me.

So then we do...

a third version and we're like, Hey, why don't we, why don't we update it and like give it a new look and feel.
