Hi everyone. So, I just received my
0:06
proof copy of Unpacking My Boxes. So, I
0:10
thought I would do a very obviously
0:14
punlike video of unpacking my proof
0:18
copy. So, let’s see what it looks like.
0:22

2:04
some fun things in there.
2:09
Wow.
2:16
So, let’s see how many pages.
2:20
It’s like 272.
2:24
Wow,
2:25
this is amazing.
2:27
This has been such a long time coming
2:30
and um
2:32
I can’t expl maybe what it feels like to
2:34
hold your whole life in your hands. I
2:37
mean, this isn’t a autobiography, but um
2:41
it’s all the really key parts of my life
2:45
that um mean the most to me, have shaped
2:49
who I am today.
2:52
So, I’m really excited to share this
2:54
with you. Um
2:56
got to go through this and make sure
2:58
everything looks good and exactly like I
3:00
want it and then it will be a available
3:03
and in your hands September 25th. So, um
3:08
this is pretty amazing
3:10
for me. It’s been quite a journey just
3:13
getting the book out. So, I’m really
3:15
excited um to get here. I started
3:18
writing it in 2020 and had some
3:21
challenges, took some breaks, and
3:22
finished it up between last year and
3:25
this year. So, really amazing to have
3:28
this here.
3:30
Um, and it’s real.
3:33
So, thank you for sharing this unboxing
3:39
journey of unpacking my boxes. And I
3:43
really look forward to you getting your
3:45
own coffee. Thanks,
