I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

We have a major announcement we are making today here at the Midas Touch Network, and I am so proud to be able to share it with you first. My brothers and I are releasing our first book. It's called WTF America, The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy. WTF America. That is how I feel every morning when I wake up. WTF. How did we get here? How do we get out of here? And how did three brothers, me and my two brothers, with no political backgrounds, with no background in journalism, how did we create the Midas Touch Network, grow the Midas Touch Network into one of the biggest news organizations in the world? champion independent media in general, rally a pro-democracy movement, and continue to fight not just each and every day to make our days better right now, but to fight for future generations.

And one of the things we talk about a lot in this book is you. It's the Midas mighty. It is the power of the people and how the most important thing that I always tell everybody is listening. You have to listen to what the people are saying. You have to listen to what the people are feeling. You have to understand the pain that people are going through and understand the aspirations that people have. what people want for themselves, their community, for their kids and grandkids, for future generations. It starts with listening and then you have to deliver, not some political talking points. You have to deliver with action, with empathy, with love. You have to genuinely care. And that's a lot about listening.

It's a lot what we talk about in WTF America. And so I'm not going to give away everything in the book, but we talk about how my brothers and I started the Midas Touch Network when we were on a text chain during COVID. And we were all at home and we were worried. And we just decided maybe if we put together our various skill sets, me as a lawyer and litigator, Brett as a top digital editor, Jordy as a top marketer, maybe we can just get out these messages into the world and we could do our best to to see if there are other people out there who are experiencing what we're experiencing. And we found this incredible community with you, with the Midas Mighty. And we talk about that a lot in this book, WTF America.

And then we talk about the growth of the Midas Touch Network. We talk about the future of the Midas Touch Network. But then we talk about what we cover. at the Midas Touch Network. And we talk about how did this authoritarian fascist movement arise in the United States? How were the kind of preconditions and precursors kind of all building for generations to allow this authoritarian movement to rise?
