Join us each day at 2 p.m. U.S. Central (Chicago) time for Facebook Live on the 17000 Days Facebook page. As the videos are recorded, I’ll add links to them here.

Join us live, or post your questions ahead of time and I’ll do my best to answer them. The recordings will stay up for the duration of the challenge. If you need them longer so you can use them to launch your book at your own pace, you can buy them here and keep them forever.
