So what was the original inspiration for this book that ended up selling so many copies, that was rejected so many times? I mean, why do you think it's been so successful?
Well, that book, Danny Dollar Millionaire Extraordinaire: The Lemonade Escapade, and, um, was conceived is how little we know about finance. When you're depleted from your work or you're, you're having to go through your bank account and your savings because you're not able to work, it really exposed how much of a lack of financial literacy there is in this country. So this book, I, I think, is the conversation that many parents wish they could have with their kids to teach them about finance and entrepreneurship and also resiliency, because there is a lot of life lessons as well in this story.
