Hi guys,
The book launched four days ago and the support from this community has been unbelievable.
Thank you to each and everyone of you who ordered.
Your support doesn’t go unnoticed. It truly is life changing for me.
I’m already getting so many positive messages from so many of you who binged it (some of you in just a few hours!), and it’s just the best.
Alrigthty, here is a podcast I did about a month ago in Montreal with my best friend and co-writer of Talk To Strangers, Mr. Derin Emre.
Derin is just the best. He doesn’t hold back and in this one we go into where we went after leaving Yes Theory, what it was like tackling such a daunting project together, and our honest opinions about the book.
Prepare yourself for one hell of an honest and hilarious conversation.
Love you all!
