[00:00:00]Something that I learned while writing it is it like everyone has their virginity. It's just like whatever it is. Like everyone has something where they feel behind.

[00:00:07]>> that's so true. Wow. So, I think that this book will like call to that aspect of everyone, whether it's relationships, work, whatever.

[00:00:16]>> you were just like, I have this idea.

[00:00:17]I'm going to write a book.

[00:00:18]>> Well, I've always wanted to write a book, but I really was like thought that I needed to like go back to school and like get a master's in like creative writing or do something like take a class. Yeah. I was just like, I'm not qualified. Yeah. And then I just kept seeing people be like, you just have to do it. You just have to do it. Cuz I was like looking up all these like classes at at USC. And I so I kept getting fed like a lot of like writing stuff. And it's like, just do it. And I was like, I don't know if I can. And then I started talking about it a lot, like wanting to do it. And then agents reached out and they were like, you know what? Like if you have this idea and you want to write this book, there is nothing stopping you. And I think I just kind of like needed to hear that. And then hung up from that phone call and like just started writing.
