"Have a cab recipe? It was the casual space and the kind of work talk to. I had a lot of awesome colleagues. I loved connecting with professionally on Twitter, but it was also just like a playground to just share jokes and stuff. So yeah. I mostly go on social media personally for to laugh. So to bring us back to sort of how the mechanics of friendship work, I've been thinking a lot about the role that my gender plays in the friendships that I have. Identify as female. I suspect, but do not know that that plays a part in how I show up in my friendships, and sometimes when friendships feel uneven in whether people want or feel they deserve more from me. And so it just leads me to ask the question, how do race class engender fit into our friendships with each other? Can our friendships across divides in any of those categories ever be truly honest? Well, I think in order for them to be honest, we have to acknowledge the ways in which who we are and what we are, affects our experience in life and can affect the power dynamics in a relationship too. You mentioned that you're female and you're obviously socialized as a woman because of this and so some of the ways that we are taught to always be giving put other people first make everybody happy, be the nice girl, like all of these things can play into the ways that we show up in friendships if we aren't aware of that training and socialization and so when we have friendships then that are different like one of my best Friends is a guy. I am a black woman. He is a white man. We happen to have become roommates in our early 20s, and we've been friends for 18 years. And so there have been many times where we've had many, very honest, difficult conversations about the fact that there is a power dynamic difference in our relationship, there have been gaps sometimes in his understanding of what my life is like and me trying to share what that is like to gain some sense of empathy, understanding, but it's also a really safe place. There's a podcast out there called no stupid questions, and our friendship is a place for no stupid questions. I've told them, like, you can literally ask me anything and I will share with you. And I ask him things too. And so when you have deep, deep trust and real commitment, it's okay to screw up, it's okay to ask dumb questions. It's okay to acknowledge the things that are different about you without making it seem like any person is better than the other person. And so I think if we just be honest about that, then we can have those conversations. And if somebody messes up, we can trust that it was really a mistake and not hurtful, and then forgive each other and move on. I love thinking about the idea of our closest friendships as no dumb question safe spaces. And particular against the backdrop of a world that increasingly thinks that everyone's questions are always dumb, which causes us to be more and more scared in public places to have these conversations. How can we nurture these conversations and create safe spaces for these conversations in our friendships? You mentioned time is one of the factors that really supported you guys. It sounds like it wasn't a chosen context, just like the original context of being roommates. Maybe it was chosen, I don't know. Yeah, so to answer the question and your question, I had a mutual roommate and we needed to fill a third room and that other roommate was like, I think you'd really like my coworker because he's looking for a place. Do you want to meet him and see if you should move in? And so it was funny. We always joke that he was so right. My friend moved, that roommate moved out two months later. He's lost to the wind, but we ended up seeing best Friends for 20 years. So there's that. There was an element of choice and also trust. And then the element of time is huge. So in the book, I include research from doctor Jeffrey hall, who has found that to go from a stranger to casual friend takes about 30 hours, 30 ish hours, but to become a best friend takes 90 to 200 hours. And it needs to happen within the first 8 ish weeks of knowing each other, and most adults will be hard pressed to find 200 hours to spend with a friend in two months. Unless you live together, like we did, or you work together, and you are together side by side all day long, every single day, just like you were with your classmates in middle school or high school or college or whatever. And so the impact of this frequency on the our ability to form a close connection is massive. So if you really like somebody and you have the option to spend a boatload of time with them early on in your friendship by all means do it because it can give you the foundation for something that can last much longer even if your frequency drops after that point. There's one relationship that I don't want to overlook. That's the one that we cultivate with ourselves. That friendship strengthens all others. We are our first best friend. Yes. And as I mentioned earlier, in the our world in data time you survey one of the things that we see is that the time spent alone throughout life, it rises all the way up until the end of life. So with every passing year, we are likely to spend more and more time on our own. And that's what it is, and you can work to change that if you actually want to spend more time in relationship and in community. But if we know that that is a likely story, then think about what do you want if you are your own best friend or you can create your own ideal friendship with yourself. So one exercise that I think is really good for this if somebody wants to try it out is to get a sheet of paper and write down everything that you wish you got in an ideal friendship and then carve out time for yourself once or twice a month to experience that on your own. So if one of the things in your ideal friendship would be going to the museum and seeing a really mind opening exhibit, you can still do that by yourself. If you love fresh homemade Italian pasta, from scratch, then take yourself to a beautiful dinner and get that portobello tortellini and have your glass of wine and enjoy it at the nice restaurant by yourself or if you are needing more play in your life and you didn't get to have the fancy LEGO set when you were a kid, buy it for yourself and set aside a Saturday afternoon to build that LEGO by yourself. Whatever it is, like carve out time every single month for yourself to take yourself on a front date for yourself and also it's a good practice to do with a friend, but make sure you do that for yourself so that you are building this relationship of trust and love with yourself so that the more time you spend on your own, the more you enjoy it and feel at home in yourself.

"Facebook friends portfolio or LinkedIn connection, whatever it is. And continues. Yes. And when my parents day and age, they'd be friends with someone and then we'd move away and that person would fade away and maybe 20 years later they'd run into each other or have a phone call and it would be so nice to reconnect. I'm kind of overwhelmed by this model of fossilization and I wonder if you might have any guidance for how we make sense of all those people that were friends and so I guess they're not not friends I think of these friendships as kind of being in the deep freeze like you were friends maybe in college and your friendship went into the deep freezer and then they pop back up and you can thaw it out in the microwave and then it's like, hey, soup. And so it's not that you're not friends, but we also have to acknowledge our capacity and there's research that shows that the greater the number of relationships you're trying to maintain at one time just due to the constraints of life and time and space in physics. Each person will get less of you. And so it really isn't possible to stay super tight close friends with every single person you've ever met or felt close to. That's just a fact of life. Of course, with social media, there's this way that people don't really fade away. And so there's this question mark around what are these relationships and whether we call them friends in the word friend is asked to do a lot of work in our society because we use it for everything from someone you knew in third grade to the person you get a kidney to. And so it's tough, let that go about like what is the label for this relationship and then instead say, what is your capacity for the number of friendships that you feel you can maintain in your life in your context and then who are the people that you really want to bring into that circle so that you can give them the best of your attention? We're going to take a quick break here when we come back. We're going to talk about social media. So stick around. Hey everyone, it's Leah smart and I host in the arena a self development podcast about reaching your potential. On the show, we talk about topics like purpose, connection, well-being, and more with influencers from around the world. Check out in the arena wherever you enjoy your podcasts. And we're back. Before we get started, I wanted to tell you about feedback Fridays over here in the studio. I started talking to listeners every Friday. I want to learn more about your careers and why you listen. What's important to you? If you're up for talking with me, email me at hello Monday at LinkedIn dot com. It'll help us make the show better. Now, just before the break, cat was pointing out that we can only have so many friends. Have you heard the term Dunbar's number? Robin Dunbar is an anthropologist who found that we're capable of maintaining around a 150 relationships. Period. Family coworkers neighbors, they all get a spot on that list, but as Kat tells us, people come and go, and that's okay. We lose on average one to two friendships a year. Doesn't mean there was a big breakup doesn't mean there was a blowout or anything like that. It simply happens through attrition. Maybe they moved to Australia, maybe they had a newborn and didn't have time to connect with you anymore. Whatever it is, people kind of fade in and out. And also when people get into serious relationships, we typically have one or two close friends kind of migrate to the next ring of casual Friends. And then they're not so, so close anymore, because you make all this time for the person you're in a relationship with. And so knowing that there's this general number of all the people that, you know, is around a 150. Think about it, not as one big, giant circle. We're all one 50 are equal in terms of their closeness. There's like 5 super close, there's like 15 casual that it really is rings that add up to about a 150. Dunbar's number makes sense if you consider that throughout most of history, when we were hunter gatherer tribes of people wandering nomadically across the earth. We didn't really even ever see more than a 150 people in an entire lifetime. In the early days of social media, I remember talking with founders of companies like pap and Facebook about whether we could somehow gain that number. It turns out we can't. We have every kind of social media. We have every kind of way of staying in touch with other people or connected to them. Even if it's extremely tenuous and like all you are nodding acquaintances after a while, when I first joined Facebook, it is an ages ago. I tried to be very particular with myself, of only having a hundred friends. And if I added somebody it meant that I needed to remove somebody because it's like I can only give attention to how many people, right? And I would also do this thing where when I met somebody new, like say at a potluck or dinner party and at the end, it's like, oh my God, I love talking to you. Do you want to be friends? We should keep in touch, yeah. And they'd be like, what's your Facebook? And I would be like, no. I was like, I really want to be friends with you, so I'm actually not going to add you on social. Let me give you my phone number. And if you want to hang out, text me or call me, because what would happen is, as soon as I became friends on social media with somebody, we would default to interacting with each other's posts online instead of meeting up face to face. OMG here, that is me. Like that awesome woman I met on vacation last year. It started following her on Instagram. A year later, I'm still liking photos of her toddler's birthday party. But I've never even called our emailed. And what I wanted was to say, if you want to find me, it's going to be in the real world. Let's make that happen, not to slide into this very passive way of having parasocial relationships with each other through the Internet. Okay, that sounds so wise. And also, you put it in the past tense. So how did it work for you? What did you learn? Yeah, it worked great. I did it for a number of years and eventually I reached a point. I think after another move to another city, I was like, well, it's just going to be more efficient. To be able to be online with each other or to be able to invite people to an event, especially in my work now. I need to be able to broadcast stuff about my work, particularly around friendship, and that's just going to need to be more than a hundred people at a time. So yes, that's part of the reason why it's passed. So is that how social works for you, Kat? Mostly. Yeah, mostly. Yeah, particularly like my Instagram is about my work, LinkedIn is about work, right? Twitter was kind of my water cooler for like not just work, but like other random things. Like,

Families shattered by tornadoes in Louisiana and Mississippi
"A storm that brought snow freezing temperatures and destructive tornadoes is pushing east. I'm Jennifer King. Families from Oklahoma to the Florida Panhandle had been uprooted by dozens of reported tornadoes, spawned by a massive storm that injured dozens and killed at least three people in Louisiana. In keithville, Presley Stevens told K TBS about surviving the twister that obliterated a neighbor's house and killed a mother and son. It was like a loud bushing sound and then I hurt all our stuff line and snacking into stuff and our windows busting out in an interview for Kat, Lindsey runs an a said he was bringing a friend to a medical center in new Iberia when the storm blew out windows in the hospital.

Rep. Kat Cammack: The Atrocities on Our Southern Border
"From choosing the next Speaker of the House, there is a lot happening on the southern border, and I know you've got some grave concerns. Absolutely. You know, I just came back from it might have been my 6th or 7th visit down to the border. And it's just always mind-blowing to me. Every time I'm there, speaking with our border patrol agents, seeing it firsthand, standing right there at the border. And witnessing firsthand the atrocities that are taking place. I mean, humanitarian crisis, yes. Public health crisis, yes. National security crisis, absolutely. And this most recent border trip I was in El Paso. And I saw 12 miles of our border that didn't have a single agent on the line because they were all processing illegal paroling them into the country with a 5 or 7 year court date of which those folks will never show up for. It really is terrifying when you think about who is coming across the border and what they're bringing with them. I literally stay up at night thinking about every drug that has been trafficked across the border, the weapons that have been trafficked across the border. The people on the international terrorist watch list that have come across the border that got away, it's a really, really scary time in America for a number of reasons. But our open border is a direct result of the policy that Biden has pushed and it's an unnecessary crisis that was 100% manufactured by

Rep. Kat Cammack: The White House Needs to Hire Mr. Clean
"Right One representative was talking with Harris faulkner today and mention that how bad this is how bad it looks for the Democrats Listen you and I have had many talks about fema and aid for people in need Last time it was about baby formula this time it's about hurricane Ian Your first thoughts when you heard the vice president of the United States make those comments Well good to see you Harris and honestly at this point I feel like The White House needs to hire mister clean for their spokesperson because clearly all that job entails is cleaning up the mess of the president and the vice president She needs to go back to the salad bar and rework her word salad as she has been known to do Because she is absolutely out of line to suggest that aid after this disastrous once in 5 year storm is going to be based on equity or race or socioeconomic status We are here for all Americans not just Republicans or Democrats all Americans So we're doing what good Americans do We're responding to our friends and neighbors in need And it's just disgusting that they would try to politicize this Just as they tried to do that last Friday when they sent $2 billion of fema money to the border that is ridiculous on the same day that hurricane Ian smacked my home state It's a real shame Harris Yeah She's right by the way I feel like The White House needs to hire mister clean for their spokesperson after she's saying well we should only help the people that look like me That's by the way racism I don't know why it's so hard for people to say it but it's true Clearly the vice president of the United States of America is a racist because when you look at a national disaster a tragedy and talk about the way that she talks about it right And then sits there and is like yeah we're totally fine Talking about this way This is not something that she's embarrassed by

"kat" Discussed on Entrepreneur on FIRE
"Protect you as Kat said, if you ever need to refer back to that. And I love that idea of pricing by the hour internally. And then you add your margins on top. It's all about knowing your numbers. You have to know your numbers. And then you can add the margins that make sense for you. That is so critical. And every way, shape and form, and something that I'm really hoping you're going to take away from our conversation today. So cap, changing up topics a little bit because this is something you've been able to do really well. And that is actually prospects. Actually gets clients that you want that can pay your price points in your margins and make you a successful agency. What are some of the most effective prospecting methods that you've developed over the years? When I was freelancing, I really struggled with the normal prospecting methods. And to be fair, I didn't really know the full spectrum of what was available to me because back then this was like 5, 6 years ago. There were actually wasn't that much on the web about this kind of business model. And everyone really kept their cards really close to their chest in the industry. So I was barking up the normal routes of networking. I would go to morning networking events, marketing meetings, I would go to conferences. I would try cold calling. I would send out snail mail to marketing managers. And I really struggled to get traction in that method personally because in hindsight now what I now realize is I didn't have a clear understanding of what my own core competencies were as an entrepreneur. What I'm really strong at and what I'm not so strong at. So for example, I'm not good at cold calling. It's something I dread. I'm actually not great at networking. I don't like large crowds of people.

White House Refuses to Acknowledge We're in a Recession
"46, Montage of CNN and MSNBC saying that a recession is two consecutive quarters of falling GDP, and yet The White House refuses to acknowledge we're in a recession, play tape. Two consecutive quarters of negative growth, the definition of a recession is a decline in output for two consecutive quarters or about 6 months. A recession is just two consecutive quarters of economic decline. When we talk about the possibility of a recession, what is a recession? A recession is two consecutive quarters. Two consecutive quarters. Two consecutive quarters, two consecutive quarters of declining GDP because as you know, it's two consecutive quarters of down GDP. That signals it is actually a definition of a recession. Now, that was all when Trump was president, and now they refuse to say this on TV. This is Biden's press release. Quote, coming off last year's historic economic growth. Let's pause. Last year did not have historic economic growth. It was fake growth, brought to you by a potemkin village House of Cards, a sugar high. You know what that's like saying? It's like saying, boy, I ran really far after chugging an entire leader of Coca-Cola. Yeah, but good luck running a marathon on that. You don't have any sort of nutritional basis to keep the fire going, man. It's like trying to build a campfire in the wild. I'm just kindling. You're going to need some firewood, you're going to need some sustainability. Go eat a bunch of sugars, go eat a bunch of kit kats, M and ms and skittles and try to play a basketball game. You'll have a lot of energy for about 5 minutes. Biden continues and regaining all the private sector jobs lost during the pandemic crisis. It's no surprise that the economy is slowing down. Oh, it's slowing down. As the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation, but even as we face historic global challenges, we're on the right path. We'll continue through this transition stronger and more secure. They love that word transition.

Natalie Winters on the Connection Between EcoHealth Alliance and Anthony Fauci
"What else do we need to know about Fauci, federal funds, connections to Wuhan? What is this thing? Let me put it like this. What's the thing that shocked you the most in all of your research? Oh, that is a very good question. You know, we have a story coming out very soon. That details the really I would say unprecedented surge I'm talking over 300% and investment income that was garnered by eco health alliance, which people may know is the very controversial nonprofit that received funds from Anthony Fauci to collaborate on that coronavirus. With Wuhan. Precision in word usage as an old intelligence guy cut out. The eco alliance is the Kat out that allowed Fauci to send a lot of our money to the communist biodefense lab in China. So sorry, carry on. And yes, in the year before COVID-19, their investment profits were under a $100,000. It's a nonprofit so you can see on the 9 90s. But following the pandemic, it surged to nearly $400,000. And that is, of course, amidst this group eco health alliance, continuing to get millions in taxpayer funded grants since COVID-19 began and I think to me the most insane part of the whole story is that eco health alliance got not just one, but two PPP loans from the federal government worth millions of dollars. In other words, the group that likely helped create and start this pandemic is now getting taxpayer funds to fund their salaries to keep doing risky gain of function research in partnership with the Chinese Communist Party, which the president of eco health alliance frequently goes on interviews defending and says, oh, people just quote misunderstand the Chinese Communist Party. So I think in all of this, that was something that really

Why Are We Tearing Down America's Fundamental Institutions? Rep. Kat Cammack Explains
"I want to switch gears for just a minute, because you and I have you were married into it. I was born into it. And that is being a, for me, a son of a Georgia state trooper, you're the wife of a firefighter of first responder. Those kind of I know I've watched you on the floor, this has become a very, with all things going on with our defund the police with this idea of our first responders. And it goes to what we were just talking about the civility issue. Why is it that we seem especially many on the left right now seem to be tearing down at the very fundamental institutions of our society of Law & Order of safety, those kinds of things. How does that make you feel within your own family? I know from my perspective, it's very discouraging. Are we at a turning point here? Have we gotten better or was it, or do you think it's going to get worse? I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. I mean, I really do think that collectively across the nation, there are some very, very tough conversations happening around the kitchen table. And I know that because my own husband and I Matt, we've had those conversations. My husband's a firefighter, but he's also a S.W.A.T. medic. So he goes out on the most dangerous calls. And we're seeing increased violent crime across America. And it's really scary when you get the call out at 11 o'clock at night and putting on a ballistic vest and you're seeing some of the details of the call out. And it's all barricaded subject, multiple weapons or gang shooting, still in progress. Something like that. You don't know if they're going to walk back through that door in a few hours. There's no way of knowing because we've lost such a respect in this country for the very people who put it all on the line every single day. And we've really dehumanized law enforcement and first responders. And so my push has always been to one show the support for the collective first responder community and their families, but we need to start recognizing that there is a person behind the badge.

"Reagan used to say, look, if I can get 80% of what I want, I'll come back later and get the other 20%. Do you sense? And you've brought it up, so I'm gonna bring it out. Do you sense there's more members of Congress who are coming in now that maybe don't understand that concept as well that our politics today may be more polarizing than the getting that part done and your wife what you said being the bull and trying to stop the being strategic about it. Is it now more is it becoming more of let's break every play and then figure out what to do instead of deciding what place needed to be broken. Yeah. I think that there's a definitely the environment today is drastically different than it was heck even 5 years ago. Today I see so many of my colleagues come in with the mindset of well this place is so fundamentally broken from the outside that this is their perspective. They've seen it from the outside. It's so fundamentally broken. We have to break it all completely down and then start anew. Then they get in there and they're like, well, I never thought about that. I never knew that. There's such a learning curve in getting to Washington that so many have an experience. And I do see there's a new generation of politicians coming in that seem to be more about the reality show and creating a reality show to drive the likes and the shares and the clicks and the headlines. And that's really I think detrimental because you take a note of the United States Constitution, you're there to do work on behalf of your constituents and to get things done and to move us towards the vision that our founding fathers put forward. And put everything on the line for. And instead, you see people who are like, well, I'm just going to raise a ton of money and I'm going to say the craziest thing in order to raise that money. And that hurts. It hurts conservatives. It hurts the country. It hurts everybody.

"Then, you've had a really interesting story that I think brings is why McCarthy scalise other members I've talked to when I asked them drew Ferguson when I asked him I said, who's some of the ones right now that are making a difference? Your name keeps coming up as a rising star. And I'm not surprised by that, but it's interesting. But I think a lot of it is your background. Tell the people on this podcast, because, you know, who might be getting a first look at you, sort of your background. I don't know if you've had one of the easiest of upbringings. And so give us a little bit of sense of that as we get into the podcast today. Yeah, no, well, and that's really kind of them to mention me. We'll see how things go, but no, I think coming into this Congress, the 117th, I brought a little bit of a different perspective. I am certainly not your traditional candidate or congresswoman. I grew up daughter of a single mom and I grew up on a small cattle ranch and my family, we were commercial sandblasters. That's not exactly the sexiest industry in the world. And when you grow up on a job sites and you're in the world of construction, politics really isn't front of mine, except for when it's interfering in your life. So I grew up in a household of Democrats and really I think through that experience of and we weren't politically active or anything. My mom, she voted, and then when I registered to vote, I actually registered as an independent because I had always been raised. You vote for the person, not the party. And growing up on all these job sites in this industry, we saw department of environmental protection. We saw the ocean inspectors. We saw the Department of Labor. And I started out, I took my first steps on the job site. And so I was naturally being conditioned to really despise government and government interference because every time I saw one of these bureaucrats show up at our business, it was never good. And it was never

Rep. Kat Cammack Sees That Democrats Are Scrambling Right Now
"Want to go right now though to the patriot mobile newsmaker line, the coolest cat in Washington. Congresswoman catak from Florida. Was that clever? I think I don't know. That was pretty clever, Todd. I got to give that one to you. That's about as good as I get there, cat, so. Well, it's good to have you with us. Today, a lot going on. And a lot of people are beginning to wonder what's going on here with the Democrats, Hillary Clinton starting to sniff around. Kind of like the buzzard going after the carcass in the desert. Yeah, well, you know, when you have one of the most unpopular presidents and vice presidents in American history, they are doing what we expect them to do. They're beginning to eat their own. And they are so it seems shell shocked is the vibe that I get from them. They can't understand why their policies are so unpopular. You saw today that Nancy Pelosi is announced she's going to run again. And everyone for this entire year was under the understanding that Nancy was on her way out. She was going to retire. Now they're seeing, oh my gosh, we aren't as popular as we thought we were. We need to fix this, so we don't do terrible damage and so yeah, I'm not surprised one bit that Hillary Clinton is popping her head up and starting to make some noise. It's clear that this Biden presidency is going to be a one term proposition because clearly he doesn't have the wherewithal to know even what day it is or what year it is and what's going on. He called a tornado a hurricane. And I mean, it's just embarrassing. And then you look at the vice president and she can't stop laughing at the most unfortunate times. And that's just not what the American people want nor deserve nor need. And I think even Democrats recognize

"A ziploc palette. No, I'm not a palette, but yeah. So they didn't see the value of, you know, you have to give the consumer the value. And I'm like, well, you could use it thousands of times. You can cook in it. You can freeze in it, and you can use it thousands of times instead of that and at the end of the day, you would actually end up saving money. But you could cook in it, you could actually, what do you mean? So you've eaten it. It was that airtight? Yes. It's that resistant, too. So basically, I reached out on LinkedIn and I wanted to see I had a friend. Her name was Laura scher. And at that point, she was another social entrepreneur and she said cat. There's this really cool concept. It's called sous vide that's in the marketplace. Water cooking your food. Water cooking your food in plastic in a container. In a heated like you could put in a pot and then you put a sous vide machine in a pot. And then you put your plastic bag and your food inside of that bag, and the taste of the food is amazing in it because all the nutrients stays in the bag and the taste and the moisture stays in there. So sous vide has been like something at the friendship been doing for a long time. So I reached out, I was looking on LinkedIn, trying to see who the biggest sous vide player was. So all of a sudden, I see on my LinkedIn that electrolux has bought anova. And I'm like, electrolux just bought it over. So I reach out to Lenovo, and I'm like, I've got your bag for you. Nova is a sous vide company. Yeah. And they were bought by electrolytes. So they were going to ramp up quickly and be the number one. Yeah, yeah. By the way, no one except for people who are super food geeks are even going to know the company. You've got to be a super food GE to have a sous vide stick. But anyway, keep going. Absolutely. So I reached out to them. And this was really important because they helped me produce my first set of molds. I meet with them, and we get our first biggest order from them. How did you have the capital to make the product? Because usually those places pay 60, some of those 90 days later, you got to pay for the product, so there's a gap. How were you able to finance that? What happened is that anova gave us a big order and a nova was already in target. And they needed a sous vide bag, and I had a sous vide bag for them. So this was a way for me to get into target and I had I went to target, I already had an initial meeting with them and they weren't into my idea at all. They weren't into it because your bags were too expensive, probably, right? Honestly, I think the real thing was that they didn't think anybody saw the difference between a reusable plastic bag. You know, who's gonna pay for your bag? So I didn't get an order from target directly, but anova gave me a great order and I made a great deal with an ova where they had to pay for the molds for the productions because we didn't have them. Right. And the bag would be would be like part of a kit. They would put it right next to their sous vide machine. In target. All right, so you so basically, this deal with an over finances, the first molds. And but it's a tiny market. I mean, you got to hope that people are going to buy a sous vide. It's a tiny number of people, and then you have to hope that they're going to buy the bag so I can't imagine that it took off right away. I wasn't interested in that market necessarily. I was interested in the fact that people would get I had to educate people where the value was for this $11 bag. And people weren't getting it from our messaging that was on the packaging and I didn't know how to message the packaging. Right. Which is why I decided to do Shark Tank.

So it's 2017 and Kat nori is just starting to get traction with her new company stasher. But she realizes that not enough people know about the advantages of using silicone bags over single use plastic. So to get the word out, she decides, what else? To apply to Shark Tank. When I set things to Shark Tank, I didn't look like a small company. I look like somebody who had some traction. And so when I did the submission, I was very colorful and I had the tools to show them that it was a company worth looking at. And when they contacted you and they said, okay, you're on. Presumably in 2017 you went on. Correct. What are you nervous? I had vertigo twice in my whole career. One time was when I was on Shark Tank. Next up is an eco friendly alternative to plastic bags. It made me so nervous to be judged by the whole world like to actually put yourself out there, especially as a woman. And here I was, I had to go stand on my own in front of the whole world pretty much to judge me. I don't understand the advantage of the product. And the product doesn't get me excited. I'm out. But here's the thing, you were going on with a mission. I mean, yes, you want to make money. But like you were going on, you were saying, look, plastics, bags, that zip top bags are really bad. People, you know, are throwing these away. I'm going to solve this problem. How could you even have imagine anybody would be mean about that? I think you've watched Shark Tank. Some of the judges are not that nice and they'll shred. And if you don't know your business inside out, they're gonna eat you all you live. Why haven't you put more about the environment and the plastic free element? I agree. Maybe that's something that we should definitely put on the packaging. If you told me that, and you are one of my buyers, I definitely put it up there. This is working. This is your vision, you've got to be able to sell this away from you. Wait, wait, wait. Well, the one thing I knew was my business, and they weren't going to tell me how to do my business. And when it came to them, questioning my business and telling me how to do it, I got a little offended, and I got a little offensive and it brought my other side out. Can I ask you your brand specialist? What would you do that would say that that is a better option and it's healthier? How would you do it differently? We can't do that here. We can't we invent it to look at. We're asking you questions that you're coming back asking us the question instead, right? You're not saying, I get it, or I made this choice. I didn't get it. I swear I do get it, but I'm just saying that I wanted to see what your point of view was. I don't want to. I mean, did get an offer or I guess to the sharks were considering teaming up an offer, but you did.

"It worked. Sure, everyone laughs when they see it. Just the other day when I pulled it out to pay my barber, he sarcastically asked me if my ziploc wallet was made by Prada. Now, imagine a world before ziplocs will call it B Z 1968. That was the year Dow chemical introduced the product to grocery stores. All of a sudden, sandwiches and carrot sticks and apple slices could be kept separate inside lunch boxes. The problem is that we started to use a lot of them. We still do. And ultimately, that's not a good thing. Because plastic is a huge environmental problem. There's too much of it, and it's finding its way into our oceans and into our bodies. A 2019 scientific study found that the average human will ingest as much as 40 pounds of plastic in their lifetime. Microplastic that floats in the ocean and seafood in the air in sand, it's all around us. Only a tiny sliver of the plastic we use gets recycled, less than 10% according to the EPA. That little recycling symbol on your single use water bottle, it's basically nonsense. So over the past two decades, more and more social entrepreneurs have been trying to figure out how to reduce plastic. One potential solution is an a polymer called silicon. It has properties that act like plastic, but is more sustainable and lasts much, much longer. And Kat nori, a parent of three who packed a lot of lunches realized that, like many of us, she was using a lot of disposable baggies. Cat had a small business that made a home goods out of silicon, things like placemats and coasters. So she had some experience with the product. But could she figure out how to turn that silicone into a ziploc like faggy? Well, if you've heard of her brand stasher, you know the answer is yes. She did figure it out, but it would take a lot of work to convince people to buy the bags. Stasher bags are expensive. One sandwich sized bag might last several years, but for the price of one, you can buy a 120 ziplocs, which is an important part of the story because in 2020, cat actually sold stasher to SC Johnson. The company that happens to make zip locks. It's a sign perhaps that over time, SC Johnson sees a future without single use plastic. But how that acquisition happened? Well, if you listen to this show, you know there is a story behind it and it starts with cat. She was actually born in Tehran in Iran in the mid 1960s before the Islamic revolution. In the mid 70s, her dad decided to move the family to California to search for new opportunities. He had heard that California's like heaven. He said, you know, California is so green and there's so much opportunity for us to have our own business and to start a new life together as a family, and you guys can get educated. You can all have the best education and not wonder what you're going to do after school if there's work opportunity for you. And that was just something that was really important to him because he was three years old when he lost his mother, and he was brought up by his brother, in fact, when we my dad lost his father, and his brother, my dad just couldn't stand living there anymore and being associated to his business where he sort of saw the shadow of his brother every day by his brother wasn't there any more. And that was such a blow to my dad that he pretty much like picked us up and said, we're packing up our bags, and we're going to California. And he moves you guys to the Bay Area to Walnut Creek, California. First of all, why did he choose to go there? Did you have relatives in that area? So we had an English teacher in Iran, whose brother lived in Walnut Creek. And I remember to this day when he picked us up from the airport and driving over the bay bridge and we were two kids, my brother and I, my mom and dad. And I remember distinctly that the guy kept turning around and looking at us. And I kept asking my parents, why is he like looking at us now, of course, you know, when I was 16 and I learned how to drive, we learned that that's what you do when you're changing lanes. So those were kinds of the and then other things that I remember is that I remember right when we got here, we just didn't want to be apart from each other, and we went to Montgomery words and we bought blankets and pillows and even though we had three rooms and apartment, we all huddled up around a TV with the blankets and the pillows in one room together the four of us, and none of us wanted to use the other rooms. We just wanted to be together because I already felt like we had left our home, and now we were going to be in separate rooms. So it was just it was very lonely when we first got here. And how did you all adjust to life in America? For example, what is your parents do for a living? My parents did from the get go, they started investing in property. And that was probably one of the best things they ever did. They started buying some real estate. My dad was really both of them. They were such a good team when it came to managing their money and working together to start a business and just thinking of how they would support us. We never felt like we lacked anything as kids. Even if they felt it, we never felt it. All right, so you're ten year old kid. In the U.S., new country, how is your English at the time? Did you have you had gone to a Catholic school in Tehran, so did you already speak English? You know, it's really that's a great question because when I got here, I actually felt like I didn't speak English at all barely and I remember that. I used to mix up the word want and have. And it was so difficult for me when I got here. I was in fourth grade and my parents put me into school and I remember her that I pretty much didn't understand anything that the teacher said, and at one I had really poor eyesight and my parents didn't know that because on top of not speaking the language, I didn't want to be called four eyes. So I didn't want to tell them that I couldn't see. So it was a pretty miserable move for me. I felt really out of place and the kids laughed at me all the time..

"The toys from our childhood. Stay with us long after we stop playing with them as adults we may lose track of a beloved stuffed animal or a fun action figure but we keep the memories. We remember how safe they made us feel and darkened bedroom or how much fun we had zooming them around the house as if they were flying and yet no matter what we all grow up and leave childish things behind but thanks to one man's impulsive decision. we learned. We don't have to let the past slip away. Not only can we hold onto it but we can share it with the people we love and keep that joy alive for generations to come harry. Colbourn was born in birmingham england in eighteen eighty seven. When he was eighteen years old he moved to ontario canada where he studied to become a veterinarian surgeon upon receiving his degree he settled in winnipeg in manitoba but duty would eventually call. Harry joined the military when world war one became too great to ignore and he hopped a train to quebec for basic training. It was on his way to the camp when he encountered an odd sight. A hunter had killed a black bear and taken. It's cub to sell at a local trading post. Harry gave them twenty dollars and in exchange he took possession of the bear cub which he named winnipeg after the town where he'd been living. His plan was to raise winnipeg for a little while before releasing her back into the forest. Unfortunately harry's plans change very quickly. Winnipeg became a hit among other troops. They played with her and let her stay in the bunks where. She slept under harry's kat that she grew however winnipeg got too big to live indoors and was relegated to outside like a kind of watch bear for the soldiers. The more time they spend together the harder it became for harry to let go. He in winnipeg had grown close. So close that. When he was ordered to go back to england to fight on the western front he refused to release the bear back into the wild he instead snuck her into the ship with the other troops together. They traveled to the second canadian. Infantry brigade camp near stonehenge in england. Harry let her roam free for a while they were there. She enjoyed playing on the large stones but he soon understood that he would have to give her up. There was just no way for winnipeg to go all the way with him to the front

"Your strong friends need help too. And i love that and i don't think that will ever be a cliche thing for me because the friends that you have that you think are your strong friends. Aren't the friends that don't have anything ever happened to them. They're probably the people that have the most go on in their life. And you know that. They're strong because they've literally had to be. That doesn't mean that they aren't struggling. You can be strong and struggle at the same time so no matter what somebody looks like. I think this is just a note to like check on all your friends. Yeah all of them. All sanitex out branly each day to new front. How you doing. I care about you and then you know maybe even start the conversations with your friends of like. How are you processing. All that's going on in the world because yes we have what's going on in the world but then we have what's going on under our own roofs to maybe you know they're dealing with something. Maybe you bring up with the vince in the world to open up the conversation of maybe what's going on really with them on a deeper level. So maybe you can put the foot in the door on that because some people just don't really talk about things you know. I don't know you just look board these volcanoes and things start to build up and then there's the but somehow people aren't verbal processors either. Okay so which isn't a bad thing. It's just how how people work so maybe somebody doesn't have the words to express how they're doing but they might be able to express it in different ways in so like what would that look like. They might not be able to say. I need to get this off my chest but they might be able to say like. I had a really hard day. Do you want to go for a walk. Or i have. I've had a really hard day. Do you wanna come over and watch him movie. I don't wanna be alone. i feel really heavy. I'm i've been really tired even though i've been sleeping a lot. Do you want to go out to eat. And you could be talking about the kardashians you could be talking about anything else but having that space to be with somebody and connect in some way would be helpful came. I love those examples because think about it because everyone is different. Yeah and you like to go on walks right but not every time you gonna walk. Do you want to be talking about every deep deep heavy part of your life so to show. i'm yes. yeah oh gets too heavy. But it's held your honor. I've never heard of it. Well it's on showtime the first episode was free and i don't have the showtime app sorry streaming service so but i do have apple plus and it showed up on there as like an option to watch free and then it got me because the first episode of so good bryan cranston's in it from breaking bad. Never seen that. What i know. Okay well the world is much like we need to be watching jay. That's what i've been wanting virgin. Very light like telemundo type situations. But i am watching your honor so hooked me so i paid. I didn't want to buy this the monthly subscription to showtime because ten ninety nine a month and. I don't know that there's more that i wanna watch but download oman apple. So i bought the season for nineteen ninety nine hook line and sinker. But i'm in and i'm here for it. Sometimes it's a little much like there was one scene that was really heavy and i was sitting down when i was watching in suddenly to like to be able to even take in the scene i had to get up and i started washing my face and i started doing other things as it was on because i just couldn't sit there and watch it. That's for me. How i know okay like. I don't know that. I have the bandwidth for this but it is a really good show so i miss them. That's not the show that you watch when you want to know stress. I know i'm just saying we're gonna talk about though like i'm going to tell my friends about speaking of i also watch friends. So that's my where i bring in some laughter and comfort isn't melrose place. What were you watching. Oh yeah you got still dabbling with melrose place. I watched all of the original. And then i'm working through melrose place when i work out. That's what i put on is melrose place. I don't know why. And lisa renna is in it from a long like in the nineties. I also have been watching real housewives of beverly hills. Because i'm very invested in if erica jane new or not. I just found out about that. Yeah i don't watch that show anymore. Wants to housewife in the hustler. No okay well now. It's like a documentary. That will give you an inside. It's not even really about the housewives. It's about the lawyer that she was married to. And kind of the back story of like at the shady legal things in milwaukee. But i on hulu or either like it's a it's a documentary so yeah start with housewife and the hustler. But anyway but he's style you want an act like i'm going to be like oh you jack i'll check this and i'm like did eric. No and that's yes. I can see where that could be still therapeutic. A walk might be. Maybe it's that you want to go throw axes. There's that acts during place. Maybe google one near you. And then you throw an axe at the wall. And it's a safe contained out hannity. That might get out some different feelings. And i would say to. Yeah it doesn't need to be like these these intense conversations but like maybe another thing to bring up with. Your friends is like your post was saying. Hey maybe i don't know about you but for me right now. I'm feeling like super heavy. But also i just heard about this instagram post and it was reminding us to be still so just wanted to pass that along like it's okay to just press pause and you can even use like we language to make it more comfortable. I'm just thinking like if you're trying and you're trying to engage with a friend that you're not quite sure how to start this conversation. It's like it's okay for us to you and he still right now. Yeah and and using that post as especially if it's a friend that's like a hustler and like go and you think that there you can. It's like a it's like we can be still right now. Yeah and using that post as a guide to. I don't know about you. I'm feeling really really really heavy. I don't wanna get into a really big deep discussion about what's going on in the world right now. There is a time and a place for that. And i'm not going to ignore it but right now i'm exhausted. I don't have the energy. So do you wanna go on a walk and talk about erica. Girardi in her. Last name and jane eyre ca jane but least arena and i want to talk about that for a second. Are you interested. Do you think that might help you too or whatever they might surprise you. That'd be like yeah. I need a walker.

While reading the book. It was the first time since the passing of my dad and my grandmother that i'd viewed them as ancestors. Because i think you'd like there's this moment where you're looking at a picture of your mom and it's sets a bit of an aside but you're like now an ancestor win. Did you feel like you made that distinction. I didn't get took adulthood attack adulthood for me to my mid twenty when i It took until my mid twenties to see my mom as an ancestor. I think because earlier. Even though i've been feeling grief so closely and law so closely and intimately and was always thinking about it. I was still sort of afraid of it. You know i i mean. I think i've always understood. That loss is a process and it never leaves you. But i don't know if when i was thirteen or fourteen or fifteen or even twenty one really thought of my mom as this dynamic person even after her passing and i suppose calling her an ancestor helps me think of her as someone who i can still access or think about with more depth. Who you know for Various holidays that my family celebrates i can burn incense for her and still in a way provide for her by burning tissue vapor. Close or money here or something like that. And i think it was some time in my mid twenties when i started partaking in these traditions myself and feeling less sheepish about doing it and kind of owning it a little bit more as my own You know you've come to these parties before parties like lunar new year celebrations at our house. A some pictures of meal my phone but i distinctly remember in your backyard burning the tissue paper close and the josh money the joss money and then burning the incense to yeah and that being like in remembrance like you're giving something to the ancestors yeah in honor of my mom but also just anybody who is no longer with us too and yeah i think that question about ancestor and the use of that were too so interesting because i'm not sure it was even intentional of a distinction. But in retrospect a see as something that was quite spiritual. And also i think of just being a little bit more mature and also being okay with really acknowledging that for me at least when i lose someone when someone passes aero is reassessing your relationship to them through every single life stage like you know I'm thinking about having kids now. And i'm thinking about what it means to be a mother and thinking about what my mother would have told me about it. You know it just your relationship. Always alters you say this thing about your mother's passing where you're like. I hate her death for how it knocked my family down. But i hate how i believe. I needed it to to become who i am. Yeah was that through the process of writing this book. Something that you slowly realised. I think i've always fell after my mom's passing that her death made me harder. You know it made me tougher It made me the person who i am today. It made me scrap. You're so independent and that line was really hard to write. Because i think i fell and to an extent. Now feel a little bit of shame for it. you know. it's hard because no one ever wants to say like. Yeah this death. I benefited from it. And i don't think. I benefited from it in this positive way but getting through a loss. You have to just dig so so so deeply within yourself to get through it And as a teenager losing a formative figure like your mother As thirteen fourteen year olds you have to figure out how to parent yourself in so many ways. I'm figuring out who. I am like post my grandmother as like as an adult and the remembering those life skills that she taught me right when when you lose someone so formative to you in a way you have to figure out how to absorb their best qualities that you needed and be that for yourself or other people. Oh definitely like. I recently vacuumed on a sunday. The holy day and i knew my grandmother. Live in madame me. It's impossible to wrap one's hit around loss. It's an empty chair of fuzzy memory. From a photograph a holiday tradition to at least keep their spirit alive but it's always evolving no matter how much or how little time has passed and what cats book taught me. Is that the only real lesson of it. All is one of resilience so i grew up in connecticut which you know had hartford the insurance capital of the world. My mom worked at the travelers building. Which famously in the mid nineties had a bunch of peregrine falcons roosting on its tower and hartford and it was such a big deal. I remember just you know my mom talking about it. Newspapers where covering it was. It was huge because they were having chicks and these beautiful birds were thought to. You know really not make it and it was so fascinating to me. Just thinking about this imagery of these beautifully wild and strong and ferocious birds and them sort of existing upon this metal and glass and gleaming skyscrapers. And how much work it took to get them to survive.

"I was trying to think about where to start. This and i think good place to start is the dark side of gratitude. What does that expression mean to you. And where does it come from i. It's funny. I'm definitely known for leading with gratitude. So it's an ironic statement from someone like me. But i remember when my mom came to me when i was nine years old and said that's it i'm done. We're leaving and what she meant was we. Were leaving my dad. My dad was an is a very good man but at the time was an alcoholic and he had a wife and three daughters at home nine. Mi six and three. My two sisters and i had been in multiple car accidents with him drunk driving. By the time. I was nine. So i remember when my mom came to me and said we were leaving. I did not cry. I did not get upset. I looked at her at the age of nine and said what took you so long and it was because i was close enough to the bad to realize that even a scary decision was a better one than the alternative which was staying but as i got older and i talked to my mom more about that decision which turned out great for everyone. I asked her again. What took you so long. Because she started sharing with me how bad it was for. How long and and what it boiled down to was the dark side of gratitude that she was so grateful that she had a nice house and she was so grateful that we had gifts for the holidays and she was told by her family. And my father's family and her friends who were very poor much more so than us. We would be considered middle class at that stage that she was lucky to have all these things that she had and that that was a the alcoholism and the things that came along with it were a small price to pay for those other what appeared to be fortunes

I don't need to just wait for another person to show me how I wanted to be treated. So, is there a restaurant I want to try out? Is there a movie? I want to see.

It was like seven years ago. Appropriating trash culture. How dare you i was. I was working on my book with the mike lynch yesterday and someone had a question about cultural appropriation and we all know couple of white chicks can open a taco truck not in portland now that's called procreation but it's funny our relationship with cultural appropriation which is serving the food of some land. You don't hail from is considered that or dressing up as speedy gonzalez or something that's all no-fly-zone but if you really think about it the ultimate cultural appropriation is marrying. It's a mixed couple and your kid is going to be mixed that you've appropriated that culture both directions. We applaud that. Yes so the same group that is against the taco trucks for cultural appropriation is all in on a mixed marriage which is to me a ultimate form of cultural appropriation. But i said I said the lynch.

I think it's called but he kind of touches on like just do it. Songwriting for me. Although a few of my songs came out just really quickly and it was like they were already done. You know it was sort of one of those magical experiences but the most part i have found. Songwriting excruciating. I find it very difficult and i really push myself and i have to write tons and tons of bad songs to get to a good one which is why you know. It's sometimes seven years between albums for me because it takes so long for me to get enough material for an album. These days the only song written was a song called the book release song which was a song i wrote to promote my book but aside from that i've been more focused on writing books than writing. Sounds i find it hard to do both at the same time. But i think i will write more songs in the future. It's just it's just how hasn't come yet for me. Are they more about your life or you touching on original stories now or what interests you for for the book. Yeah well you writing now and next book. Oh will the next book You know some people have been have been requesting a sequel to this one to off the charts and thank you So that's sort of under consideration. I started writing a second book and it was kind of like about my sex life. Do you think that'll sell. I hear sex sells. That's just something.

Rockstar person shall forever remain nameless that apparently you're discouraging dating rockstars and wh why is this my advice on dating rockstars. Just don't do it there so selfish you know you wear like a cool vintage dress in front of them and they're all into you and stuff but then they see a hotter woman walk into the room and suddenly their attention has gone from you. You know you can never really hang onto a guy like that i don't think rockstar as opposed to a musician. I mean you know all the same of crass but you know it's funny. I've never really dated. I've dated a few musicians. But i've never had a relationship with musician and everybody's always surprised by that because i guess they figure you're songwriter. Wouldn't you just go out with other musicians. But i don't know. I i i remember asking this Songwriter i know in toronto out. One time. I was always bold in asking guys out. So i asked him out i said. Would you like to go to dinner with me. Some time. It was a cool guy. Guitar player nice guy and he rejected me and then about two months later. We were playing a gig together in toronto tonight and in the audience was his new girlfriend who was sitting there knitting. She was knitting a sweater. And i thought this is who you choke over me. Some wayfair girl. That's knitting a sweater. And she wasn't even paying attention to his show. You know. I thought what is wrong with these guys g. There's no accounting for it for this.

You immediately threw me off. I tell you it's After three years still Still like how is she going to respond to. How are you why you might have been sick of hearing rate today. I am and it's genuine. Every time i answer you is but you know i thought i would change it up or you know. We're practicing our banter. That we learned from kat goldman just happens to be in our virtual studio this week. Kat goldman has written the book off the charts. It's auto biographical memoir. How would i say this go ahead. Hollywood is off the charts. What can you please describe it at goldman i. We should tell people that she is. A canadian singer songwriter. so she's been writing and playing music for years you know for quite a few years and she has written this. It is auto biographical and it's about being in the music industry but it is i mean. She talks about her childhood and you know her experiences. So it's an autobiography of sorts. Yeah this is kat goldman and the what difference does it make virtual studios. That's cat goldman i. How are you know. Okay so i guess we can get started by talking about your education. You actually got a bachelor's degree at a later stage in life. Isn't that correct. A bachelor's degree at age forty five in literature american literature i had abandoned might be a long ago in my early twenties and went into all kinds of crazy things like art therapy shiite sue and yoga teaching yoga. I finally returned to school. When i was forty and finished it up and i enjoyed it so much more later on in life studying. Admit the case because you make a conscious decision except you know as opposed to when you're young most of us just assume we're going to go on to university when we leave high school right. Know what we're doing mo- most of us so you make a conscious decision at a later age to to get an education and it's admirable and i think you enjoy it. Congratulations thank you so much. I loved it very much. I was the keener in the class. I was always raising my hand girl. I was that knowing girl. Yeah it was me and a bunch of nineteen. I was about to say that. I think that's the a lot of people probably feel like. I don't want to be that person i would imagine. Even though you're raising your hand you almost invisible at times because you know. The kids are more focused on themselves on their iphones. All yeah and no when looking out. Why is this woman here. what is she doing. They don't care when you're going back at at that age. How did you decide. Did you just have a passion for literature. How did you decide what you wanted to. Because the whole world the world is always. It's it's a really good question. I moved to boston when i was thirty. Nine sort of on a whim and the only way that i could stay in the. Us legally was to other mary american or go back to school so i hadn't met any american to marry at that point and i enrolled at boston university. They accepted me which was incredible. And that's how it all started. Yeah you love boston. did you decide. You wanted the city before the school. Yeah yeah absolutely. I had been there in my early twenties as well So i had my brother and his wife and his nephew were living there at the time so i had a bit of family there as well so it was a familiar place for me and was this after reading these great american novels. You're like i can do this. This is simple. I'm gonna write my own book right. Exactly i've read dostoyevsky. Why can't i write a book hack. What a hat. And how was the process. I mean when did what age did you start writing. You know you started. Was this after you graduated from boston. University yeah so. When i graduated i had to move back to toronto in one month. They gave me. Is that second. So that's how it works like. Okay we'll let you in america and then when you grow graduate innoc- graduate you're out of here. You've got four weeks to get your stuff and get the hell out of this country. So i moved back to toronto and i threw myself into the making of my fourth album. The workman's blues for about two years and had a big concert did the promo you know. Followed that through. And when that was done. I fell into such a depression. You can't even imagine. I i'm okay now what what am i gonna do now and somebody From the music scene here asked if i would write a blog for his music website about my experiences a songwriter and i just want with it. And it sort of came together quite quickly I called the disgruntled songwriter. Her and every chapter was sort of taking on subjects. Like you know what what not to do in a sound shack how to find your look. You know not to giggle when somebody asks you for your autograph. Little tips for songwriters in along with some of my crazy experiences that i've had in music over the years. The book is a compilation of the block. Because these are all chapters from your book. Yeah so what happened was once i had about twenty five blogs i thought to myself geez. I should turn this into a book and i submitted about. I think it was about sixty five pages. At the time. I submitted it to a publisher and they were. The first publisher is submitted the manuscript to and they loved it but he said you're halfway done. Can you write half more in six months. And then we'll have a book. So i set to work and got it done and that's sort of how it any year and a half later you've finished up those that six months of work that's usually how it works right exactly so let me ask you a question. So so when they needed more pages from you. Did you go about it because you already knew now that this is going to be a book. Did you go about it writing more blog posts or did you actually have the intent of filling in a book by that point. I sort of already had a structure where i would pick a theme. You know some topic like producers or managers or technical difficulties that you run into on stage so it was. It was challenging to finish it. But i had already of developed a structure so it was just a matter of.
