I follow his videos. It's quite amazing. To see, just to hear about all the things that he's putting out there. And yeah, so I'm honored to be selected for this. One of the 20. One of the 20. That's it. Yes, one of the 20s. The 20s, we call them. And I've started the business when I was very young, when I was in school. And it's been very interesting for me. I learned a lot. There were so many mistakes we made, and we were just constantly thinking about how to improve our approach and what to do and so on. So it's been a topic that I've always been interested in, and just getting this chance from Evan to go through this book, and because I know him, I know how he— well, I don't know exactly how he thinks, but I know to some degree like what kind of personality he is. It's actually gonna be quite interesting to see what he has to say in this book, and I'm expecting very interesting stuff. So yeah, so we'll see. My name is Bashat, my friends are calling me Shade.

So I was introduced to Evan through a good friend of mine, a good childhood friend of mine, Nina, and we got a conversation going and she knew that I wanted to start something on my own and she said, hey, you got to meet Evan. He's the guru of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship and creating your own businesses. Businesses, and you got to speak to him. So I was introduced to Evan, and after having a few conversations, he was just a wealth of information. But at the same time, I was scared. I got mortgage to pay, bills to pay, car payments to make, and so to really jump from my daily job, which is for a nonprofit, into sales and marketing to something of my own was actually very daunting. So I'm trying to get back into it, and Evan approached me and said that, hey, you know, I'm writing a book and wanted to see if I was interested in reading. I was like, hell yeah! Hopefully by reading this book right here, I got the privilege of getting a signed copy from Evan himself. Reigniting that idea of starting my own business and being my own boss. Well, I'm excited to get into this book and flipping the first pages, but I'll keep you guys posted. My name is Annamarie Castrelli, and I have the privilege of being Evan's mom. I immigrated to Canada at a very young age, and here I was given the opportunity to become a lawyer, an academic, and a politician. That instilled in me the need to raise our children together with my husband to dream big and to achieve any goal that they wanted to, and Evan has done that in spades. We knew he was an entrepreneur from the time he was 4 years old, and by the time he was in university, he had formed a company and sold it to an international corporation. He is dedicated and motivated and ambitious, but not just for himself. He's ambitious for all of those around him and his group, his community. Evan firmly believes that you can save the world, or change the world actually, one entrepreneur at a time. And I'm looking forward to being with him on this new journey, reading his book, and watching him grow ever stronger in his successes. Hi, my name is David Carmichael. I'm Evan's father. I'm a management consultant, but Evan has always taught me a lot of very interesting things, and I'm really looking forward to this book and learning a lot more. Good luck, Evan. Hi, this is Lily, and I'm an instructor here at Toronto Dance Salsa. I'm really excited to read this book by Evan because I respect him a lot as a boss, an instructor, and most importantly, as an entrepreneur. So I'm excited to read this really large binder, but apparently it's single pages, so I should be fine. So maybe it could give me the inspiration and motivation to start my own business someday. Thanks. I'm Stephanie. I'm Evan's sister, and I work for the UN Children's Fund here in Canada, UNICEF. And I'm super excited to read this book, even though it's super long. And yeah, I'll get back to you. Hey guys, it's Talish, and I'm so happy I've got a copy of Something Really Special, which is number 17 of 20 of Evan's first but I've already set aside an hour in a day to look at this, and it's going to be fun. And what do you do? Oh, I do e-commerce consulting. I'm very much involved in small businesses and helping them go online and sell retail or B2B online. So take a look at this and how it works with e-commerce. Hi, my name is Martha Trahan. I'm the Operations Manager at LastMinuteTraining.ca, and I'm going to be so, so thrilled to read the secret book. I don't know what it's about, but I'm excited to just go through it and give my opinion to Evan, and I really appreciate the opportunity. Hi, I'm Albert. I'm the Vice President of Operations and General Counsel for a company called JumboBerry Interactive Group. We're a digital advertising company.
