be with you and to see this milestone to see you do what you say you're going to do that's the is twenty years later but it's my life you know it's real it's big but it doesn't matter how long it takes me to it's gone you know it takes a long time some people do it overnight you know success but then the law does it every night some people you know go fly right up and bowman's in there but you know this awesome now how do you decide what recipes go in the book these are recipes that i've been doing for years and some that you know we invented you know going along the way but the great thing about was how my life and forty feet it's  start with the technicality right you know so once you do it once you make this great recipe you can put parmesan cheese in there no cheese goat cheese cream cheese you can make it all happy i want to talk from it about how you did the table of contents of this book i mean he has from january to december ok all kinds of feast and it's the whole thesis not just the meat was not just a start it's not just a vegetable it's the whole meal each meal is a whole meal always through to december talking about martin luther king's day yelling times a awesome here is an awesome book and we'll get so how you can get your book in a little bit so let me ask you how has your life changed since the book came out my life has changed drastically i mean first walk i mean my partner right and my story was compassionate to her let me tell you about my story we met twenty years ago and i approached her about the book you linda linda she wowed she didn't say no but you know it was pretty much like and we're keep keep keep all mine because she she just helped me you know for mademoiselle but they're mostly mine they're all my because i had them i had it all in place but she laid it out with the months and she was able to put you know say you should put your story to say people need to know more about your story and and  afraid to tell somebody your story right because your story will help somebody has sold and if you don't open up then they won't open that's right yeah yeah absolutely and that's one reason why and i was very selfish you know not to take over your show but i was very selfish when i was while i can do it so what's the next this is one of the big things right yes so what's your next dream that's on your list that you going to focus on i want to help people i want help i want help people that are in need the homeless that don't have a father  unhealthy for them so you know like you know put some vegetables or something you know and just just just help a good cause because i mean you know it touched me i feed the homeless shelters because it touched me one day i was in traffic down in new york and i seen little kids i tell the story a lot but i see little more and more not just you know a homeless man is this family's you know is this home nowadays you know are people is not only people you have job because i mean it was so tough and when when and with the book and with my story when i was really on the brink of losing if you go to power my life and for the fees there's other other entities that the publishing company offer that you can get i think china and some other places so i'm really excited about this book circulating around i'm just getting started like i said i'm going around you know pushing it out there yeah you would talk and yeah we should have the print show you know one hundred scenes because he was talking to the station manager and they were having a great conversation i think i put a little bit on facebook last year with my new phone i knew what i was doing but you were telling him that you're going to take the book and start traveling to all the  let's talk about that for have minute oh yeah that's what i want to do i want to i want to take my book going through that obviously you know i want to set up some rack and sell the book but also cook with the book cook with people and show people you know what i'm about my personality and if i can help in any way never know and i'm sure there's more of your life to tell because once you start doing this deal the life events that you'll need to talk about you know you don't need to be in a novel and you'll create different recipes yet because you'll be going to all these different exotic places not to go that's a major thing about it that's my journey and maybe another book
