Whoop whoop! Evan Carmichael is in the house! Wow! Oh my god, I did a review of his book, Your One Word, and that is amazing that he's on the livestream. Evan's got like 600 billion followers. That is so cool. His book was so good. The one word, my one word was inspire. Because I want to inspire people to read books and to travel the world. If you want to see the book review of Your One Word, go check in— go check that video out on my, um, on my channel. But also check out his videos. What is the one word that defines who you are and what you stand for? In today's video, I'm going to be reviewing Your One Word by Evan Carmichael. Evan's got 700,000 people following him on YouTube. When I did the book review, I'm sure you had like 650,000 people following you. Yeah, #Believe, that is Evan's one word. You can use that in so many ways. But he said, like he says in the book, the words that are used the most are usually the best words. I'm super grateful and honored and humbled that Evan's in my livestream. It's actually taken me aback a little bit. It all started with books for me. I didn't go traveling, I was out of shape, I wasn't doing well in school, and books really started that for me. And I started to read, start to expand my mind, reading books like Your One Word by Evan Carmichael. These kind of books have helped me to, to think in a way which is very different from mainstream. So I want to spread that message. Okay, so Evan Carmichael says, spread the mission. People would love to hear your inspired journey. I want to be a part of it. Make them feel like that they're on the journey with you. Yeah, that is 100%, 100% true. That's what I'm trying to do here with you guys. I want you guys to come on this journey with me, traveling. And also reading lots of cool books. Evan, actually, that's a good question for you. One thing I'm not so worried about, but something I have to think about, is, uh, when I go to New Zealand, um, I'm obviously gonna have to find a job so that I can support myself. But, um, do you have any ideas of any ways for me to be able to work, um, from my laptop or anything like that? That'd be really useful. Is Evan still in the building? Let me know if you're still in the building, Evan, but thank you so much for popping into my screen, into my stream. Evan's still here. Evan, do you have any opportunities for me, uh, working for you, uh, remotely? Because I remember in the book you said that your team works for you from, um, remotely, and they're actually traveling the world. I remember that clearly because you had quite a young team and they wanted to go traveling. If you have any opportunities, or if you know any ways for me to make money while I'm on the go so I can support my travels, let me know. That's interesting. Yes, it depends on what value you can bring, but it was all about value. It's all about value. That's the way, Evan. Thank you so much for dropping in this live stream. Go ahead and pick up the wife. I don't— you don't want to be late for her. You don't want to be late. Thanks for dropping in, Evan. See you in a bit, guys. I, I'm gobsmacked. I'm sitting in the comments. Oh my God, guys, Evan, he is so successful. Yeah, so that— I can't believe that's just happened to me on my first ever stream. Evan has like a reach of millions of people around the world, um, and he's done what I wanted to do. So the fact that he dropped into my live stream is incredible. Oh my God, that is crazy. Absolutely crazy. What kind of value can I bring to him, guys? I mean, he will be able to— he's the kind of guy who can, you know, offer so much opportunities. Oh, Evan Carmichael, that is so funny. I bet he's still watching this as well. So he said that he's left. Oh, I hope I said a few really nice things. I'm sure I did. And he's probably still watching now. Yes, Silvia says, "You only said nice things. Don't— Jayesh, don't worry." So, this has been so much fun. And the funny thing is, is that— so I was shitting myself before I came on this livestream. I was so nervous because it is all unedited and I've never done anything like this before. And I didn't actually think anyone was gonna pop into this conversation. I thought it was just gonna be me talking to myself. So it just goes to show you that if you, you know, do the things that scare you, you get the rewards. And what's happened, we've had, you know, 20-25 people, all friends on BookTube, get into conversations talking about a really cool topic. And then having someone like Evan pop in is just a bonus.
