So happy for you, Justin! Fear is just an acronym... F.E.A.R. - False Expectations Appearing Real. We all do it. Conjure up false thoughts that prevent us from doing things. Yet when we actually take that scary step, we discover that our fear was unfounded. Congratulations for taking that step!

Now that you got the first hump out of the way, approaching other places will be a lot easier. =)

Congrats man. To do anything more after fathering and teaching feels like enough for a life. But to write and sell a book - we need to get you a cape!

If a person is pushing an excellent product, they will succeed. The only question is - When? I'm glad to see you just plugging along and "doing the work" to ensure that things happen sooner than later. Keep the chin up Justin.

PLEASE let us know how you do at Oblong. What an adventure! Congratulations on your new BOLDNESS. $8 is NOT too much. Not at all. I would pay twice that.
