1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Alright, welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,520
I'm Jackson Callum, I'm your show host.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,640
We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guests, guest leaders who

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,240
are building fantastic visions out there.

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:21,600
Ultimately, I just want to go through some of the things that might help you with your

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,600
vision.

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,640
If you have a vision that you're pursuing, drop a link in the comments and let us know

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,640
what that is.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,160
If you're a business or a brand, if it's a non-profit that you run, be happy to promote

10
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,600
it, be happy to talk to you about it, and if you'd like to apply to be on Vision Pros

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:58,160
to be entered, be beautiful about that vision, then by all means, feel free to reach out.

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Hey everybody and welcome to Vision Pros Live, where I've got three super special guests.

13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,480
In fact, these are my favorite guests of all time.

14
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,520
This is Harmony, this is Emerson, and this is Hazel, and we are the Callum family.

15
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,200
My kiddos have been working on a really, really cool project.

16
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,360
They are very close to being published authors.

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,920
We wanted to bring them on and get them a chance to talk about it.

18
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Today, we're going to answer questions about the book publishing process a little bit and

19
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,200
hear about their journey to become authors.

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,600
You guys excited to be here?

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,600
Yes.

22
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Awesome.

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Let's start off with Harmony.

24
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,240
Harmony, what happened?

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,240
How did we end up in this process for all three of you wanting to write a book?

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:55,720
I wanted to write a book because my dad told me if I could write a better book than this

27
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,760
pirate board book, then he'd give me $100, so I said yes.

28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,760
That's right.

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,800
I was working on it, working away, and out of nowhere, my daughter comes up to me and

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,880
she goes, dad, dad, and she shows me this book and she says, I can write a better book

31
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,880
than this.

32
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,480
I started laughing and I was like, I remember the book and the whole reason they're reading

33
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,160
it is because we're going to get rid of it and give it away.

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,160
They said, you're right.

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,080
I bet you can't.

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,000
I said, how about it being $100 to publish your first book?

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
What did you do?

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,560
I did it too, I wanted to get $100, so I did it too.

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,560
You did it too?

40
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,560
That's right.

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,600
The first thing that happened, my seven-year-old darts off to the Arts and Craft Box and she

42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
goes and gets the materials and I'm like, what's going on?

43
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,560
She's like, I want $100.

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,440
Then, when did you get excited about this, son?

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:59,600
I got excited when Harmy and Hazel told me about this, so then I got a pen and a pen

46
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,880
and started writing my book because I wanted $100 too.

47
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Was this the next weekend you all visited or was it the same day?

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
It was like the next weekend.

49
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Yeah.

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Yeah, so here I am and all of a sudden I've got three children who want to be authors

51
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440
and I figure, well, we'll see how far this goes.

52
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,640
So what did we start to do?

53
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,680
What are some of the things that we started learning about?

54
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:34,200
We started learning about how we can contact people like big YouTubers that have a lot

55
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:42,880
of money and we started learning about how to do some stuff that normal kids would not

56
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,880
do.

57
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,880
That's right.

58
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480
So, what's something that you've learned in this Hazel?

59
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,360
How to make a spreadsheet.

60
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440
That's right.

61
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,800
This girl knows more about how to build a spreadsheet than I knew at 22 or 23 years

62
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,800
old.

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,800
It's pretty cool.

64
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,800
What about you, Harmy?

65
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,800
What's something you learned?

66
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,640
How to make your writing really good.

67
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,520
The first time I wrote my book, I needed to make a lot of edits to it.

68
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
That's right.

69
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,080
So I learned how to make it better.

70
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,080
That's awesome.

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560
That's called humility.

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,920
That's a part of the process.

73
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,480
We have an editor we're working with and it's Ashley from Detail Publishing.

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,880
She's done an excellent job of helping us understand the editing process and accommodating for

75
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,880
their different works.

76
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,880
What about you, son?

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,040
What did you learn so far?

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:40,520
I learned how to make a spreadsheet and I learned how to fix stuff on the computer.

79
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,080
It went wrong.

80
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,080
That's right.

81
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,720
I'm going to put a board next to you.

82
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Oh, you know what?

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,720
It's in the other room.

84
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,480
Does anybody want to go grab one of the whiteboards?

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,960
It's not an easy process to write a book.

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,760
There's a lot that goes into it, huh?

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Yes.

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Are you guys done?

89
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Do you want to give up?

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,760
No.

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,160
You can, but we're pretty far into this now.

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,480
I don't think we will end up giving up at this point, but it's been amazing how well

93
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,040
you all dedicated yourselves to this.

94
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440
So, Emerson, what's your book about?

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:20,120
My book is about Bigfoot trying to make friends because he kept messing up things and the animals

96
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,520
got mad at him and scared.

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,120
So he got sad and he wanted to make friends.

98
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320
So my book is about Bigfoot making friends.

99
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,320
That's awesome.

100
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,320
That's right.

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,800
And in that process of trying to make friends, who's the helper who helped Bigfoot figure

102
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,800
things out?

103
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,000
The helper who helped Bigfoot make friends is a fox.

104
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Why the fox?

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Because a fox is my favorite animal.

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:55,960
I just like them because they're small and they're one of the forest creatures in the

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,960
forest.

108
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,800
So I think that he would be a really good helper helping Bigfoot.

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,800
That's awesome.

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640
How many stuffed animal foxes do you have?

111
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,640
Let's see.

112
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,640
I have seven.

113
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,640
That's right.

114
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,560
He's all about his foxes.

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,800
So what do we got here, Harmony?

116
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,800
What's this?

117
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,880
This is like our plan for when we call people and tell them about our book.

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,920
This is a plan for the callback after we send them in.

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,920
That's right.

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,480
So before we make this callback, what do we do?

121
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,880
What do we have to send them?

122
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,640
The manuscript of our book.

123
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Exactly.

124
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,360
So if you're an aspiring author and you want to get your book published out there, then

125
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,560
it's important to have a manuscript that allows people to see what the book's about

126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,520
or perhaps read the book before it gets published and they can give you another set of eyes

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,680
on what things you can fix.

128
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,040
And so when we do this callback, we ask things like, who do you think the book would be good

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320
for and what do you like about it?

130
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320
So you two, Hazel and Harmony.

131
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,600
Hazel, what did you like about Emerson's book?

132
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,600
What's one of your favorite parts?

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,880
The Bigfoot stole the fish.

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,280
When he stole the fish from Bear?

135
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,280
Yes.

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Yes.

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,280
That's a good part.

138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,280
What about you?

139
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,280
What's one of your favorite parts of Emerson's book?

140
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Same thing.

141
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Same one.

142
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,280
That was a pretty good one.

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,280
That was pretty epic.

144
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,400
It was kind of like the moment Bigfoot was done making friends or at least trying this

145
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000
right before Fox saves the day.

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,840
So all right.

147
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Let's hear about yours, Hazel.

148
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,480
What about your book?

149
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,480
What's your book about?

150
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,800
Um, Santa coming on the wrong day.

151
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480
Comes on the wrong day and what did you do?

152
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960
I called the police.

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200
In your book, you called the police on Santa?

154
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Yes.

155
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,200
Wow.

156
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,200
That's right.

157
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,200
How did you come up with that idea?

158
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Did it just like hit you or something like, did you ever call the police on Santa?

159
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,200
Before?

160
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,200
No.

161
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Good.

162
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,200
I haven't heard that.

163
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,200
So, how did you think of the idea?

164
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,200
I just did.

165
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,200
You just did.

166
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Just smart.

167
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Just came right out of your thought process.

168
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Harmony, what about you?

169
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Let's hear about your book.

170
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Um.

171
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,200
We can put this down.

172
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:21,080
And mine's about this girl.

173
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,960
She made a wish to be friends with the fairy.

174
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,200
So, and the fairies make the wishes come true.

175
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:35,080
So this, after her wish, a new fairy had been born and she decided that she wanted to help

176
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Hazel make her wish come true.

177
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Hazel is the, one of the main characters of the book.

178
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,200
That's right.

179
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Exactly.

180
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:51,160
In the editing process, Harmony and her story about what happens before the, they actually

181
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,240
become a fairy.

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,480
But she had titled the book Fairyland, I think.

183
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Wasn't that the original title?

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,480
Yeah, I titled the Fairyland, but then we changed it.

185
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Yep.

186
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Then we started to change it.

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,400
And in the process of changing it, we realized too that, that she's got an opportunity to,

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,080
she's got to think through what that world looks like, what the fairy world looks like,

189
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,760
which is going to make the illustrations a little bit harder.

190
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,120
But I think she's up to the task.

191
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,840
She's done some awesome work on her illustrations.

192
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Do you want to get it?

193
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,840
The show, one of the illustrations while we continue talking.

194
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,840
It'll be awesome.

195
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,240
She's going to run and grab that right now so we can see it.

196
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,160
And in the meantime, there's cool opportunities that can come out of this.

197
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Now, I'll talk a little bit as a father.

198
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,560
This is not an easy process.

199
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:40,600
It is not easy to help one kid publish a book, let alone three at the same time.

200
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
And we've also got, we've done some video work.

201
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,360
We've done some commercials for it.

202
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,880
We've got those edited a little bit.

203
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,760
And we got a goal to get this done by when?

204
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,760
Before summer.

205
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,760
That's right.

206
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Before summer hits, we want to become one of the what?

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,880
The all time greatest.

208
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Art.

209
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040
Yes, you almost had it.

210
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,760
The all time greatest authors.

211
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,240
The all time greatest authors, right?

212
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,080
We're going to compete with Dr. Seuss on that.

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,560
Well, we wear a hat, a funny hat too.

214
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:14,560
No.

215
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:15,560
No, okay.

216
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,560
That's right.

217
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:23,360
So that's, those are some elements of the things that we want to accomplish.

218
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:30,240
What other goals or aspirations do we have about, they'll fall off that bench.

219
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,720
I'm worried about you falling backwards.

220
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,280
That would be really funny if we didn't get hurt.

221
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Let's not risk it.

222
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,680
So what are some other goals, some opportunities with this?

223
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:47,760
Oh, we, we could probably go to Disneyland or and we could go on more trips with our

224
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,760
dad.

225
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,120
We could probably go to Disney World and I.

226
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Where is the world and what?

227
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,480
And I fly.

228
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Yes.

229
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520
I bet we can have some good celebrations in there.

230
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,120
And I bet there are riding expos that, that exists where you get the chance to go near

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Disneyland and perhaps we can turn it of course into a Disneyland trip when we get the chance

232
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,160
to expo.

233
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,040
And, and when we go to an expo, we might get to talk about the books, right?

234
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Yes.

235
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Yeah.

236
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600
In front of how many people and what do you guys think?

237
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Maybe 300.

238
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,600
Maybe 300.

239
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Maybe thousands.

240
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,600
Maybe thousands.

241
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,600
How would you feel?

242
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,600
Scared but happy.

243
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Scared but happy.

244
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Yes.

245
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Yeah.

246
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:40,600
You think it will inspire other people to maybe write their books?

247
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Yes.

248
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Yes.

249
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,280
I would like to inspire other people to make books.

250
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Cool.

251
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,280
That's awesome.

252
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,440
So Harmony, go ahead and show us one of your illustrations for your book.

253
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,640
So this again is a book about fairies and a little girl getting the chance to become

254
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,640
a fairy.

255
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,160
Let me help you with that a little bit for the, all right.

256
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,640
So the colors, there we go.

257
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,640
I'm starting to come through when I angle it away from the light a little bit.

258
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,040
So that would, what is this Harmony?

259
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,040
What are we looking at?

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:19,680
This was, if this was going to be like an illustration for like in fairyland, maybe

261
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:24,320
just like an idea of what maybe the houses would look like or something.

262
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,560
But I'm starting to think of different things since we edited my book, edited my book and

263
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:34,040
changed it a bit that this would be for part of a different book.

264
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,960
Oh, cool.

265
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,960
And Harmony has some serious art talent with her iPad.

266
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,440
She's super good at doing different things.

267
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,440
So I wouldn't be surprised to see her reimagine that.

268
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,160
And she'll also be working with an illustrator or two with the process.

269
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,080
So let's see what some of these comments are that we got from people.

270
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,880
So somebody says, wow, that's really amazing.

271
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,560
Somebody else says, let's see here.

272
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:02,560
Going down.

273
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,560
I can't wait to read these books, guys.

274
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:10,160
I'm not sure if I'm late here, but what's the name of the books and who wrote them.

275
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,160
So go ahead, Emerson.

276
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,280
What's the name of your book?

277
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,720
My name for my book is Bigfoot's Adventures Making Friends.

278
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,720
That's right.

279
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Bigfoot's Adventures.

280
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,720
And he might turn it into a series, kind of like the Franklin series.

281
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,640
If he wants to, of course, but he's got a great book about Bigfoot making friends and

282
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,720
his name is Emerson Callum.

283
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:38,440
My book is Hazel's Girl's Tale, A Wish Upon a Dandelion.

284
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,720
Yeah, and what's your name?

285
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,720
Harmony Callum.

286
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,720
There you go.

287
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,720
Awesome.

288
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,720
And what's your book's name?

289
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,720
Hazel.

290
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Christmas Cod.

291
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Christmas Codash.

292
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Good one.

293
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,720
What is it?

294
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,720
Christmas Codash.

295
00:13:51,720 --> 00:14:01,720
The Christmas Codash Story.

296
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,960
The Christmas Codash Story.

297
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,720
Did you make your title or who made it?

298
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,720
Harmony.

299
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,720
Like I made the Christmas one and Harmony made the other.

300
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,720
She helped me.

301
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,720
She helped you on the last word?

302
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,720
That's a good, that was awesome.

303
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,720
That's a good idea.

304
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,920
So, let's see here.

305
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720
We did some video recording.

306
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Did we learn anything in the video recording process?

307
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
What video recording?

308
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,720
When we were doing our video ad.

309
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,600
I don't know, Harmony, if we have that uploaded on here, if we do, we should share it, but

310
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,720
if we don't, then we can always share the raw first version of the video ad so people

311
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,720
can see.

312
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,720
I shouldn't say raw.

313
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,720
It's been edited a few times and it's starting to look really good, but it is still a 1.0

314
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,720
version.

315
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,720
Go ahead.

316
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720
What did you guys learn when we did the video?

317
00:14:51,720 --> 00:15:00,080
When we did the video, I mean, like we learned the process of, like we memorized the process

318
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,720
of what to say on our call.

319
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,720
Kind of like the board thing, but we made it into a shorter summary version.

320
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,720
You want to show us?

321
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,720
What does it look like?

322
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Can you remember it?

323
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,720
I'm writing a book.

324
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Sure.

325
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,720
Okay.

326
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,720
I'm writing a book.

327
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,720
I'm writing a book and raising money to publish and I'd like to ask you if you'd like to read

328
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,720
the manuscript.

329
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:29,720
My goal is to publish before summer hits and you can be sure it'll be one of the all time

330
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
greatest hits.

331
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,720
Great job guys.

332
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:40,080
And you know, choreographing that, part of the process of why we did that was to make

333
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,160
sure that we memorize what it is that we're going to say.

334
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,960
And it can be very hard.

335
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:52,480
And this is the trick that both kids and adults can utilize in order to be comfortable speaking

336
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,920
about a subject and everybody, this is their first time being live on camera.

337
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520
You haven't done this before, right?

338
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,520
No.

339
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,520
No.

340
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,200
And so the things that we're getting to learn in this process, the things that they're getting

341
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,120
to do, really that's what it's all about from my end is I'm just excited to see my kids

342
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,640
have this opportunity and get to go through with the process and I do my best as a dad

343
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,760
to make it happen.

344
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760
So let's see here.

345
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Jaime says, all the greatest authors without a doubt, looking forward to sharing your books

346
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,760
with my kiddo.

347
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaking of, we have recorded the audio for Emerson and Hazel's books and we'd be happy

348
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:38,680
to give access to people who want to understand what it is we're up to, who want to support

349
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,720
us in the process, whether that's giving us feedback or contributing to their goal of

350
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,160
raising funds to be able to market the book.

351
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,760
That's one of the processes of authorship that most people don't know about is you actually

352
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
have to get out there and tell people about the book.

353
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:58,160
So Emerson mentioned the YouTubers who make a lot of money and the influencers who have

354
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,720
a lot of influence too.

355
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,000
You know, and of course they have an opportunity to potentially invest in the book and help

356
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,080
us make this dream come true for the kids.

357
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,240
My goal is to help them do everything that I can to hit the New York Times bestselling

358
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,240
author list.

359
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,800
And we will work very hard to do that.

360
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,720
As I mentioned, contributions are a big key on that.

361
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,640
So when we ask people to contribute, what are we asking them to do?

362
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:30,120
We are asking them to not give us money, but to...

363
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:37,520
Because giving us money would help, but we're asking you to contribute.

364
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:47,720
So whatever amount you want would be fine because we need $5,000.

365
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,760
So we need people to contribute.

366
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Good job.

367
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,600
And so that's our goal for raising initially was $5,000.

368
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,880
We're actually going for a lot more than that in the near future, but it's a great idea.

369
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,880
And you mentioned contribute.

370
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,320
There's other ways people can contribute.

371
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,720
How else can people contribute harmony?

372
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:17,440
By sharing the book, to sharing what we're doing and telling friends and family that

373
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,400
we're writing a book and raising money.

374
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,400
That's right.

375
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,200
And we're building up a list.

376
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,040
So when you're authoring a book, you want to build a list.

377
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,080
And that list of people then becomes ready to perhaps buy the book once the book comes

378
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,080
out.

379
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,680
But also they can give feedback on the book and help us know how we might be able to

380
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,480
make the book better.

381
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,560
They can introduce us to people.

382
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,880
One of you guys listening to this, you might be friends with Mark Rover.

383
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,880
Would that be cool?

384
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,880
Yeah.

385
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:54,240
Or maybe somebody's friends with Mr. Beast and maybe he'll send us a free chocolate bar.

386
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,240
Who knows?

387
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,880
Who knows what will be experienced by that.

388
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,720
But when we are bold and we have chances and we put ourselves out there, we have an opportunity

389
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,720
to really make some great things happen.

390
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:13,120
Somebody said that you have harmony and be talented.

391
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:16,120
And that is super true.

392
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,960
Harmony's got many talents.

393
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,360
As does Emerson and Hazel.

394
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:21,360
What's here about those?

395
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,480
What are some of your hobbies, Harmony?

396
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480
I do cheerleading and gymnastics.

397
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,480
I also play the piano.

398
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,600
I love to do arts and crafts.

399
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,840
And draw.

400
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760
Very good at the piano.

401
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,520
What's your favorite song to play on the piano?

402
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Probably Seven Years.

403
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Seven Years.

404
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,520
I don't remember who sings it.

405
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Andy Grammer.

406
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,520
Lucas Graham.

407
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,520
Oh, Lucas Graham.

408
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,120
I got the Graham part right.

409
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,760
So Lucas Graham, Seven Years.

410
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,760
She's really good at it.

411
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,800
It's fun to listen to her play it.

412
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,520
What about you, Hazel?

413
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:05,400
I like to do gymnastics, playing ballbies.

414
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,600
I like softball and baseball.

415
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:17,040
And I'm really talented at harmony because we come up with a lot of things.

416
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Yes, we all do.

417
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,640
And you're in GT classes, aren't you?

418
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,640
Yeah.

419
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,640
Yeah.

420
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,000
This is our little natural athlete as well.

421
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,240
She gravitates towards, she's really good with the ball.

422
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Really good at sports.

423
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Just came right from her from birth.

424
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,920
She really loved to roll the ball with me and play with it.

425
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,920
What about you, Emerson?

426
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:47,320
Well, some of my hobbies are like, I like playing baseball and I'm really good at it.

427
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,480
And I like foxes and dogs.

428
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,600
And I'm really good at doing slips.

429
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,600
He is our daredevil.

430
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,040
That is for sure.

431
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,320
And he's also really, really good at building things, which means he's also great at breaking

432
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,640
things.

433
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,160
But that's part of the learning process when you build things, right?

434
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,160
Yes.

435
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,400
So he's constantly exploring.

436
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,960
And we have to remind Emerson that you're not allowed to explore everything because

437
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,560
we don't want our house broken down.

438
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,720
But in all reality, it's been a lot of fun.

439
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,000
And he teaches us so much with things that he's constantly exploring.

440
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,360
Like, who knew?

441
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,920
The knobs come off of your cabinet doors.

442
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,280
I didn't know that, not until Emerson came along and unscrewed it.

443
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,160
So we do get to learn a lot about practicalities.

444
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,760
And they're also really big into arts and crafts and Legos, or are you not anymore?

445
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,160
I am still in Legos.

446
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,160
Yeah.

447
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,560
3D printers, anything like creation wise, that's their go-to, their domain.

448
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,480
And I do my best to keep up with it.

449
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:02,640
So what's one of the other opportunities, Harmony and Emerson, that you guys might get

450
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,760
to have from this book publishing process?

451
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:12,240
We've got a place like Disney World Universal Studios and Disneyland Pick Place like that

452
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,240
to present our book.

453
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:20,360
Especially since Orange's creativity, like Hazel has to do with Christmas, mine has to

454
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:27,040
do with fairies and his has to do with like animal, fantasy animals since they talk.

455
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,040
That's right.

456
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:36,120
Another opportunity we could do is we could get a dog and have a backyard.

457
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:37,120
That's right.

458
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:43,760
So definitely, if we get some multi-million dollar authors here, then you know, definitely

459
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:50,560
could put us out in a, who knows, out on a ranch with a dog of their choosing and maybe

460
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,880
a giant super slide and a pool or something like that.

461
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,880
I don't know.

462
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:02,560
I don't have many ambitions like that, but if they hit it big with these books, then

463
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,800
the doors are wide open for us to make new decisions in life.

464
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,120
And it's part of being responsible with your vision and your dreams.

465
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:15,080
Let's see here, Manuel says, keep going guys, you're awesome.

466
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480
And you mentioned being scared when talking to the public.

467
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,760
This one I wish y'all could see.

468
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,480
She's taking her sock off and putting it back on.

469
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:28,000
It'd be kind of fun to show because it's, I'm getting, I'm getting full view of that.

470
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,120
But let's see here.

471
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:34,560
So being nervous is something that will always keep you inspired and alive.

472
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:40,640
I have one almost influencer friend who reads books and he suggests series and movies to

473
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,640
the public.

474
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,640
I'm pretty sure he will be interested in reading your book as well.

475
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,120
You guys have my support.

476
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,120
Cool.

477
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:49,440
What do you guys say?

478
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Thank you.

479
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,120
So there's a Manuel making a connection.

480
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:54,120
Awesome.

481
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:55,960
And Leonardo, awesome work guys.

482
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560
This is the start of great success for you all.

483
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,720
Let's see, let me get this on screen.

484
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,720
That'll help.

485
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,720
There we go.

486
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,160
Great success for you all talented kids.

487
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,360
You're the new generation of leaders.

488
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,880
Keep being awesome.

489
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Thank you.

490
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,600
That's right.

491
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,160
So let's see here.

492
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,960
Let's talk a little bit about the books and the things that can come from this.

493
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:28,600
So we've, one of them is, as you're thinking about who you, who is applicable to this book,

494
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,600
right?

495
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,520
Who could benefit from having this book?

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:38,280
Hazel's took a unique turn because Hazel's book talks about calling the police on Santa,

497
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,280
right?

498
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,640
And that's a, that in her case, it was a stranger danger situation.

499
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,040
So for your adults listening out there, it's actually turned out that even though the story

500
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:53,120
was funny and silly, we realized, wow, there's a real opportunity for police officers, for

501
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:57,440
instance, to use this book to teach one.

502
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Don't talk to strangers or like, don't let them in your houses.

503
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,960
Like if, you know how like in school, the police officers come to the school and show

504
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,880
them a lot of police stuff and stuff like that.

505
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,080
And to be safe, they could use that book as an example.

506
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Well said.

507
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Well said both of you.

508
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,240
So when I was little, we had a police officer who came at least once a month and his name

509
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,480
was Officer Little and he had white hair and he had had white hair since he was 19 years

510
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,640
old.

511
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,920
And he became a super, super good friend of all of ours and we love talking to him.

512
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,000
His job was to teach us about the dare program.

513
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,000
What's the dare program?

514
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
You guys know?

515
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
No.

516
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,600
It doesn't really fit this much anymore.

517
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,880
It's kind of there.

518
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,080
It was to teach us about not doing drugs and not doing bad things and making sure that

519
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,480
we just got inspiration from this policeman to do things like wear your helmet when you

520
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,920
ride your bike.

521
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,840
And so if there are police officers that are going to schools and again, talking about

522
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:06,240
not talking to strangers, this book could be a fantastic tool to teach the class about

523
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:13,080
that concept and help the class understand in a fun and funny way that if you ever run

524
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,760
into a stranger, no matter who it may be, it's always a good idea to be safe and make

525
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200
sure to seek help from authorities or from the police.

526
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,920
So something else unique happened with these books.

527
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,200
So if any of you are aspiring authors thinking of ways to separate your book from the crowd

528
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,920
and make it extra special, there's things you can do at the end of your book in order

529
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,480
to make that happen.

530
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,880
And the first one we came up with was related to Hazel's book.

531
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:44,400
There's a scene in the book where Santa is so proud of Hazel in harmony and because of

532
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,600
his mistake, he decides to give them an extra special bonus gift.

533
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,240
And what did we do at the end of the book for readers?

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:01,520
I think it's like scan the QR code to see what the bonus gift was.

535
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,520
That's right.

536
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,800
And elaborate on it.

537
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,120
You want to say more about that or did she get it?

538
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:09,120
She got it.

539
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:10,120
I can't say more.

540
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,120
Go ahead.

541
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:16,360
I do scan that you could also win a prize yourself.

542
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:17,360
That's right.

543
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:18,360
That's right.

544
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:23,560
So we're going to tie the book into the lives of the readers.

545
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,880
So the readers have a reason to take further action.

546
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200
And we don't know what that surprise is yet.

547
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Do we know what the prize is yet?

548
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,360
Yeah, we came up with it.

549
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:38,000
Well, we came up with finding out what the girls received in the book and we wanted to

550
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
find out.

551
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,840
Okay, what are the, and so we're not going to ruin that or not going to share that yet.

552
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Maybe one of the ideas we'll share with what we decided Santa gave us one of the bonus

553
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,040
gifts.

554
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,840
But have we come up with the prize that we're going to give to the people who enter in?

555
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,840
No.

556
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,840
No.

557
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,960
So we'll still, we still get to think about that.

558
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,360
And that's again, part of the process of being an author.

559
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,160
There's a lot that goes into it.

560
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,360
It's not something that just comes easy.

561
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:10,240
So do you want to reveal one of the, one of the surprise gifts that we thought of?

562
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:18,040
Um, yeah, like whatever you like you to a gun ball, you can make a wish, I think, and

563
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,840
then or whenever you chew a gun ball, it snows.

564
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,840
That's right.

565
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,760
We talked about a little gun ball machine being one of the gifts.

566
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,080
So you guys are like the super secret audience who gets to hear about this before it comes

567
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,080
out.

568
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,760
When you scan the QR code, you can find the gifts.

569
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,360
One of the gifts from Santa would be a little gun ball machine.

570
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:37,200
And when you chew a piece of the gum, it makes it snow outside.

571
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,200
So you can play in the snow.

572
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,280
So Harmony also has something interesting happen towards the end of her book.

573
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Do you want to reveal what it is?

574
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:54,920
So at the very end, Cindy's purse gets stuck at the human world.

575
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,840
The fairies purse snags on a tree limb, right?

576
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,600
And the end of my book, I has a QR code to see what was in the purse.

577
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,640
And there's a, do you want me to reveal it?

578
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,920
And there's like a logistic creature.

579
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,920
That's right.

580
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,480
There's a creature in the purse.

581
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
And so you go to the QR code to find out what the creature is.

582
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:24,920
And this gives us yet another opportunity where she can design her own plush animal and perhaps

583
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,080
have that animal sold along with her book.

584
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,920
And so we've looked at different websites to create plush animals.

585
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,600
We're not very far on that process.

586
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,360
That's one that I'm very unfamiliar with.

587
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,760
And so if any of you have any tips or ideas to help Emerson, Harmony and Hazel along the

588
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,600
process of creating these books, it's very much a creative process.

589
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Cynthia says they really are very talented.

590
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,280
It's fantastic that they already have such a big vision.

591
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,760
I admire them.

592
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Thank you, Cynthia.

593
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Thank you.

594
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,600
Thank you.

595
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,600
That's right.

596
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,800
And Cynthia's part of our design team as well.

597
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280
She's one of the people who's helping on the back end process.

598
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Did you know that?

599
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,800
No, it's because Aunt Lacey's there.

600
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,800
Aunt Lacey's there.

601
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Hey Aunt Lacey.

602
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,800
Hi Aunt Lacey.

603
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,800
We love you.

604
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,800
So, very good.

605
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:25,520
So the Christmas catastrophe, Bigfoot's adventures and very adventures of Fairyland or what's

606
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,520
it called?

607
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,520
A girl's tale.

608
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,840
No, Hazel, a girl's tale, a wish upon a dandelion.

609
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,720
A wish upon a dandelion.

610
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,720
That's right.

611
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,480
And those are the three books that'll be coming out.

612
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,000
And we've got a few minutes to spare.

613
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,520
So if you guys have any questions for them, definitely put them in the warm seats, so to

614
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,520
speak.

615
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,680
Let's figure out what things y'all would want to know about it.

616
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:54,720
If you, oh yeah, if you want, again, the access to the audio so you can hear the books.

617
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,720
I read the audio.

618
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,400
It's not the best audio in the world.

619
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,560
We're going to be getting a more upgraded version when we launch the book.

620
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,360
But for now, the point is to help everybody who wants to contribute to the process, be

621
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,000
able to hear what this book's about and hear the stories so you can catch the vision of

622
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,720
seeing what this will be like when it's on shelves.

623
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,680
What store is exciting to see your book?

624
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,160
Like, you'd be like, oh my gosh, I can't wait to see my book somewhere.

625
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Where would it be?

626
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,160
Walmart?

627
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Target?

628
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Walmart?

629
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Amazon, Target Disneyland?

630
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,360
Amazon and in Disneyland?

631
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Woo!

632
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,360
You have to make it a Disney book.

633
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,360
You're going to get a contract with Disney.

634
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,360
Oh yeah.

635
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,160
You can if you wanted to.

636
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,760
I think you'd be replacing Tinkerbell.

637
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,600
She might be a little upset.

638
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,600
What if you won?

639
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,000
What would she do?

640
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,320
She's pretty mean sometimes when she's upset or watch out for her.

641
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,320
So that's right.

642
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,880
So yeah, those would be cool places to have the book.

643
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Would you buy your own book if you saw it in the store?

644
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,880
Would you guys go up and buy it?

645
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,880
Wouldn't you all have it at home?

646
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:00,880
You would.

647
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,880
That's right.

648
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880
I think you'd be giving money to Walmart.

649
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Right?

650
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:05,880
True.

651
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Let's see here.

652
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,880
Where can we get the audio?

653
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,760
Great question, Manuel.

654
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,320
What we'll do is we'll actually share it in a comment.

655
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Well, actually share it.

656
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,520
Are you all okay with that?

657
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,160
We share it publicly in a comment and then anybody who can get it for now can get access

658
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,160
to it.

659
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,160
What we think with that we'll do is it will inspire people to want to participate in the

660
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,160
process.

661
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,160
You guys cool with that?

662
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Yes, daddy.

663
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,000
There's a principle in life that I follow.

664
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,800
The more you give, the more you get.

665
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,480
It just comes full circle.

666
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,840
It doesn't matter if it's from the person you give to.

667
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,160
There's somebody up above that takes care of that for us.

668
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,800
And let me think.

669
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,160
There was one other thing in regards to giving that out.

670
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,440
Oh, contributors.

671
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,840
We didn't talk about that fully.

672
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,320
When we ask kids to contribute, kids who are your age, what are we asking them?

673
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,320
What's their title?

674
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080
What do they get to become for the book?

675
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,480
I kind of forgot.

676
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,480
It's okay.

677
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,960
They spread the word.

678
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,960
Yeah.

679
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,960
They do champions.

680
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Champions, yeah.

681
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:06,960
That's right.

682
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,760
So kids have the opportunity to help us by being champions of the book.

683
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,360
And what does a champion do?

684
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:18,440
By spreading, like by sharing that we're writing or trying to publish a book.

685
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,840
Like teachers, family, friends.

686
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Champions spread the word of our book and they help us a lot.

687
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,600
That's right.

688
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,120
Every time somebody spreads the word and mentions these books, it's going to be super helpful

689
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,640
for their process.

690
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,520
And if people are in a position to contribute monetarily, then we're certainly grateful

691
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,520
for that.

692
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:40,720
And if not, that's okay.

693
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,080
If you read the book or you hear the audio and you have feedback for us on what can be

694
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,520
improved, don't hesitate to give us feedback either.

695
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,920
That's again, part of the writing process.

696
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,680
There's this really, I would say she's kind of a well-known author.

697
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Her name's J.K. Rowling.

698
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Anybody know who that is?

699
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,400
It's their Harry Potter author.

700
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,400
Oh yeah.

701
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,880
She wrote a little book called Harry Potter.

702
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,880
A little book or a big book.

703
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:04,880
A little bit no.

704
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Big book.

705
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:06,880
Because it has seven books.

706
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,880
Eight books.

707
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,880
They look pretty big.

708
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,240
You hear my mom are on like the sixth one and the sixth one is about this big.

709
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:15,480
Did they make a movie about it we've seen?

710
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,600
Yes, they made eight movies.

711
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,600
Seven.

712
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,600
Seven.

713
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,600
Seven.

714
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Seven books about eight movies.

715
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,600
Seven.

716
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
Did she make a little bit of money on her book?

717
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,760
Let me know how much.

718
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,840
She made a lot.

719
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,840
Any wild guesses?

720
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:29,840
What?

721
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,920
Maybe a million.

722
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,920
Maybe a million?

723
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,920
Yeah.

724
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,920
I think probably more.

725
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,920
Anybody else know?

726
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920
If you know, write in the comments.

727
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,280
I mean, it is very famous.

728
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,280
It is.

729
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,280
Maybe.

730
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,280
Maybe a million.

731
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,280
A billion?

732
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,280
That's like a lot bigger.

733
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,280
It's like way, way, way, way, way, way, way bigger.

734
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,280
Two million.

735
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,280
And guess what?

736
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,280
Seven point five.

737
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,280
JK Rowling did make over one billion dollars.

738
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,280
Oh, like what?

739
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,280
On her book.

740
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,280
Yep.

741
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,600
On Harry Potter and her wealth continues to grow and grow and grow because of how much

742
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,840
she continues to dedicate to it.

743
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,840
That's crazy, right?

744
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,840
Yes.

745
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,140
Oh my goodness.

746
00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:14,640
We once looked at mapping out what a billion dollars actually looks like physically.

747
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,800
And you'd stack, I think $1 or $100 bills.

748
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,840
One of the two didn't really matter because you stacked it all the way across the world.

749
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,640
I like to get that.

750
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,640
I was, it was crazy.

751
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,720
At first we were at telephone poles and then we were at skyscrapers, you know, and then

752
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:31,720
found out that was literally stretching out across the entire world.

753
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:34,080
It was a cool visual.

754
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,200
So that's, so champions.

755
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Are kids the only people who can be champions?

756
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,680
No, no.

757
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:41,680
Oh, cool.

758
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,360
I got this coming on in just a second.

759
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,360
We'll show this.

760
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,360
We'll show what the video.

761
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,360
I've been split.

762
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,360
I'm right here.

763
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,360
I know you want to read.

764
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,360
Ready?

765
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,360
I'm publishing and I'd like to ask you if you would like to read my manuscript.

766
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,360
My book is about to finish.

767
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,360
But for everings.

768
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,360
And you can be sure it will be one of that all time benefits.

769
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,360
It's going to be a great book.

770
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:55,360
I think I'm going to be the best.

771
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,360
I'm going to be the best.

772
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,360
I'm going to be the best.

773
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,360
I'm going to be the best.

774
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,360
I'm going to be the best.

775
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,360
I'm going to be the best.

776
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,360
I'm going to be the best.

777
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:08,360
And you can be sure it will be one of that all time benefits.

778
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:18,720
What did you guys think?

779
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:19,720
It was very good.

780
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,720
Have y'all seen that yet?

781
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:22,720
Yes.

782
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:23,720
It's all part of it, I think.

783
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:24,720
Yeah.

784
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,720
Except for click the link to contribute.

785
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:30,320
Did you see it when it was in the book too?

786
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,320
That was kind of new, huh?

787
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,320
Yeah.

788
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,320
Little bit of elements.

789
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,320
Little optimizations.

790
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,320
Let's see.

791
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,320
Camila says, looking forward to reading these books.

792
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,520
You're such talented and passionate kids.

793
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,960
You're inspiring so many people.

794
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Absolutely.

795
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:44,960
Thank you.

796
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,200
Thank you, Camila.

797
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,840
We appreciate that.

798
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:54,560
And so yes, with the contributors, let us know as champions, I know from championing

799
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,760
companies as well and trying to be a champion of the water project, which helps people get

800
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,680
access to clean drinking water in Africa, that it's not always easy to be a champion

801
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,680
of a cause.

802
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,680
I need materials, right?

803
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:13,480
I wouldn't be able to talk about the water project if I didn't have pictures and videos

804
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,320
and information about where those contributions go.

805
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:22,160
So if you're considering championing, being a champion for these books and helping my

806
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,280
kiddos out with their publishing process, then please let us know what you need.

807
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,920
What do you need in order to be able to talk about it?

808
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,440
You want access to the video?

809
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,440
You want access to manuscript?

810
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,440
You want access to the audio?

811
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,800
And we're happy to give you whatever you need, but every champion is very different and

812
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,360
what they need and want.

813
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Some people want to go see the water wells in Africa firsthand.

814
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,600
Other people want video evidence or photos of what's going on.

815
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,600
That's what I like.

816
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,200
And that's why I choose the water project.

817
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:56,120
It gives me the chance to show people exactly what happened with the money that I contribute

818
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,160
to the water projects that we donate to.

819
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,440
Other people just need to know it exists and are willing to contribute and dive right in.

820
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,400
There's no wrong way to champion and there's no wrong way to be inspired, but we have to

821
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,560
do our part on our end to make sure that we do inspire people to contribute, isn't that

822
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,560
right?

823
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,560
Yes.

824
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,560
Awesome.

825
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,560
You all willing to do that?

826
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Yes.

827
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,560
I can tell.

828
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,560
You're all doing amazing.

829
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,560
So we're going to wrap up a little bit early today.

830
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,800
Thank you guys for all hearing and sound listening.

831
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,800
We'll get that.

832
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,200
We'll get the book out there.

833
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,320
If you don't mind, you can play the advertisement one more time for the books and we'll get a

834
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,720
link in order to sign up to be a contributor.

835
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,120
Add to that as soon as possible.

836
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,080
It will be in the comments and we appreciate everybody for tuning in.

837
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,080
Yes.

838
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Say goodbye.

839
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Goodbye.

840
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:55,680
Bye for now.
