- [00:00:03.150]I forget a lot of the time that I'm a published author.
- [00:00:06.480]Like my friends like to give me crap
- [00:00:08.040]when I go into a bookstore.
- [00:00:09.770]I kinda wanna see if my book is there.
- [00:00:13.270]Sometimes so I can sign it,
- [00:00:15.040]but also it's kinda of like this reminder
- [00:00:16.770]that I created a thing that lives outside of myself
- [00:00:19.460]and that's really cool.
- [00:00:20.960](lively music)
- [00:00:23.440]Storytelling.
- [00:00:24.590]Like, that is, I think, one of the things
- [00:00:25.840]that defines us as humans is we tell stories.
- [00:00:28.450]You learn how to take that
- [00:00:29.860]and do it with words, do it with pictures,
- [00:00:31.840]do it with sound.
- [00:00:34.084](lively music)
- [00:00:35.740]I think the way that you grow is by making mistakes.
- [00:00:39.745]You grow by failing,
- [00:00:41.560]but it's not like a failure
- [00:00:43.580]if you learn something from it.
- [00:00:45.290]And a lot of my big mistakes,
- [00:00:46.960]a lot of my big failures,
- [00:00:48.020]are actually things that I've been able
- [00:00:49.520]to learn a great deal from.
- [00:00:51.068](lively music)
- [00:00:53.880]Here's what you expect,
- [00:00:55.370]and if you give people this,
- [00:00:56.950]they're like wow, okay.
- [00:00:59.320]You're gonna go above and beyond
- [00:01:01.210]and that's the sort of work ethic
- [00:01:02.640]that I like to have when it comes to everything I do.
- [00:01:06.890]There's like the expected behavior,
- [00:01:08.480]go a little bit more
- [00:01:09.650]because that's what's gonna set you apart.
- [00:01:11.944](lively music)
- [00:01:14.040]I was in the marching band.
- [00:01:15.810]The first game.
- [00:01:18.407]It's showtime!
- [00:01:21.610]When I ran out,
- [00:01:22.897]oh, I'm getting emotional.
- [00:01:27.010]It was amazing.
- [00:01:28.373](lively music)
- [00:01:32.160]Oh, Val's.
- [00:01:33.480]Yeah, all the way.
- [00:01:35.402](lively music)
- [00:01:37.900]Honey barbecue wings
- [00:01:40.920]with every possible condiment I could dip it in.
- [00:01:46.980]Oh, cat person.
- [00:01:47.880]My cat, his name is Tiberius.
- [00:01:49.823](cat meowing)
- [00:01:50.656]And he's gigantic (laughs).
- [00:01:52.634](lively music)
- [00:01:56.020]It was honestly when I was signing the documents
- [00:01:58.260]to buy a condo.
- [00:02:00.130]You sign your name 100 times
- [00:02:01.650]and I think the next day I was like
- [00:02:02.610]you should start wearing nicer shoes.
- [00:02:04.957](lively music)
- [00:02:09.000]I'm all hat and all saddle.
- [00:02:11.688](laughing)
