We had a deep conversation and 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.280 she was like, I think it's time and I think 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.240 it's time, I was like, I don't name was Chante. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.400 Was like she was like, just no one can say 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.480 you hopped on a trend because you have very late So. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.280 I got to fourteen whatever plus whatever, girl, you know. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.679 And then a few months later, what I really do 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.560 like about iPhone the fitness stuff is like, really I've 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.559 been like, I mean, I'm still down my thirty pounds. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.440 See my skin is square, cheap, bone. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:17.040 Popping, and so I really I really like the fact that, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.840 like the fitness component. That's really why I was considering 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.600 an iPhone. I watch it like whatever what is it called? 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.600 I want to watch? I watch Apple just a Apple watch? 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:26.120 Look at me? 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.880 So I sow when Amazon Prime came up, I see, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.920 let me see. So I just saw an ad or 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.160 something like that where it was like the watch was 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:37.520 basically one hundred dollars off. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:38.360 And you know, I love a deal. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.040 Oh okay, cause I think. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.760 It's normally like four hundred dollars, Like I think it's 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.480 like three ninety nine or something like that. That's what 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.040 it costs on Apple. And so I was able to 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.000 get it for two seventy nine. That's why I got it, 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.040 cause I was like, you know what and there was 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.720 like easy return, so I was like, you know what, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.839 get it, keep it for like a week. If you 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.400 don't like it, you can return it, and you saved 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.679 your hundred dollars. So I got one hundred dollars off. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.120 I can't lie loving it. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.960 The best thing about the watch is to find my phone. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:05.920 You just like touch the button and then you can 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.360 find your phone in the house because I don't know 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.680 my phone's my gass is the Bermuda fucking triangle these days. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.599 Yes, I will say there are some weird things that 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.560 I'm like that are missing. Like, for example, it's something 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.320 super like like so when I set my alarm on 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.400 my Android, it'll say, you know, you've set this alarm 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.960 for ten hours from now, And that's really helpful because 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.120 sometimes you know, you forget a m PM and you're 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.040 like ten hours I meant meant to set it for 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.880 two hours from now, and so like the when you 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.559 set the alarm on the Android, it kind of gives 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.760 you like this, like just so you know, this is 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.720 how many hours from now? So I'm like, really sure 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.520 I said it properly. That's something small, nuanced, but something 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.760 that I'm having a hard time with. And maybe it's 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.800 like my fingers is that you know, when you type 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.560 something out and you might want to make an edit, 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.600 like with what you typed out, I have a really 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.160 hard time getting a cursor, like in between letters. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.640 Is that like it look at Mandy's it was like, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.120 is that a thing? Is that me? Or is that 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.079 a thing for everybody? 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.000 It's a thing for everybody. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:58.600 I don't know. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.280 It's like you're doing my dad very quickly. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.280 No, I never had an issue with Andrew. I'm like, 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:07.079 why can't I get there? 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.439 Curser, Like I don't have that problem. You need to 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.319 get acclimated. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.120 Yeah, that's why I think. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.960 Also, you're typing, just use I use audio dictate and 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.679 I send things with type was in it all the time, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:19.960 Like you get the picture. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.960 I mean, but oh no, you know, I'm pleased with 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.680 it or whatever.

If you follow me on IG 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.520 you know that already. But you know, I've been on 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.720 this journey for a year now, a year. I started 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.400 writing that book proposal a year ago, but I got 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.400 a book deal. I'm writing a book with Legacy Lit, 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.960 which is an imprint of Grand Central Publishing, one of 0:15:54.960 --> 0:16:00.440 the top five publishers, and I have officially like started 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.880 writing the freaking book. And I thought it was going 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.360 to be really intimidating, but I just feel really excited, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.800 like I'm just ready to pour everything I have into this. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.200 I want to make it so good. Do you have 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.480 any advice about writing the book? I know the marketing 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.320 and all that kind of work, but the writing, what 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:18.200 was your strategy? 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.600 So my strategy first, so for me the tea I 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.600 always think, like with this teacher brain that like I 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.080 need a template, you know, especially if I'm writing like 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.560 how I don't know if your book is like how to. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.440 While it's called quite your Way, Rich. I have the 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.400 book proposal, which is amazing. Yeah, Like honestly, I have 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.920 sixteen thousand words already that I wrote for like sample chapters, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.440 you know, so I feel like a framework. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:41.880 I mean, like you know, like for me. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.600 So for example, whenever, like whenever I write anything, like 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.680 any book or whatever that like, I like to be like, okay, 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.440 what is my chapter chapter template? 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.600 Like for one week budget, it was like a quote. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.400 The step, a story, the the you know, the how 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.840 you do the thing, and then a visual of how 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.680 to do the thing, and then a blank spreadsheet to 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.080 do the thing. So for me, it helps because it's 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.680 almost like I'm not writing this big long book each chapter. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.920 It's like a mini book. So that's how So once 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.440 I figured out my template, so for a Get Good 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.440 of Money, the same form Madehole, because Madehold is a 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.800 workbook version of Get Go of Money. I came up 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.760 with the template of plan, do review. And that's something 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.359 that like I learned when teaching preschool that it was 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.080 like whenever the day started, you planned with the kids, Hey, 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.800 today we're going to go to the zoo. Blah blah 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.159 blah blah. Here's how the day's going to go. And 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.000 then you do the thing. You know, you live out 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:34.760 the day and then at the end of the day 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.280 with the kids. We would sit back on the carpet 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.320 and say, here's what we did today. We went to 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.760 the zoo, we saw the animals, and and so I said, 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.199 I'm going to do that for the book. That it 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.240 was like every chapter it was like kind of like 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.439 planned do review. It was like, here's what you're going 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.760
