What's it feel like selling a million copies of a book? Phenomenal. It's exciting to know that your message is changing lives. I think that's the most incredible thing, is to log in every day onto your email and get a message from someone from some country you've never visited that says, I'm from Cameroon and I read your book. I'm from France. I'm from Bangkok. You know, it's, it's, it's a tough world out there. When you put anything out into the world, you're going to get You know, people telling you you're an idiot, telling people, you know, you're a scammer, or you're this, you're that. I mean, it doesn't matter what you do, you're always going to get that back. So when you have that kind of feedback, that positive feedback from people, it's incredibly inspiring to continue to work through the process.
