The show also promotes a product called X39 patches, which are said to help regenerate stem cells and rejuvenate life.
➡ The text discusses the importance of nurturing creativity, likening it to a muscle that needs to be exercised. It shares the story of an investment banker who felt unfulfilled and yearned for a more creative life. He eventually pursued his passion for writing, resulting in a successful book series. The text emphasizes that everyone is born creative and encourages people to follow their passions, regardless of potential obstacles or rejections.
➡ George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, faced numerous rejections from studios, directors, and producers who thought his idea was ridiculous. Despite the challenges, Lucas persisted for 18 months until 20th Century Fox agreed to produce the film, albeit with a smaller budget. Lucas even used his own money from previous work to fund the movie. Despite initial skepticism, Star Wars became a major success and a pivotal point in film history, proving that belief in oneself and persistence can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
➡ The text discusses a man’s journey from aspiring to be a history professor to becoming a writer. He writes his stories on a typewriter and his work is compared to James Bond but with a larger cast and a greater purpose. The text also promotes a wellness brand that offers a product called Trinity Pack, which improves performance, sleep, and overall quality of life. Lastly, the man shares his process of writing a series of books set in different countries, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and thorough research in his work.
➡ The speaker has been reading classic literature and appreciates authors like Charles Dickens who portray realism with a sense of hope. They express concern about the negative impact of artificial intelligence (AI), arguing that it can’t truly be creative and that it’s often falsely presented as a solution to problems. They believe that technology should be used in balance and not seen as a savior. They also warn about the potential job losses due to AI and technology, citing the legal field as an example.
➡ The speaker discusses the impact of technology on jobs, the importance of creativity, and the rise of homeschooling. They highlight the success of the “Brickfield” series, which promotes critical thinking and creativity, and is popular in schools and among homeschoolers. The speaker also criticizes the current education system for stifling creativity and praises homeschooling for its flexibility and ability to produce well-rounded students. They share a positive experience with a homeschool group, emphasizing the benefits of mixed-age learning and personal responsibility.
➡ The text discusses the importance of exposing children to various experiences to help them discover their interests and talents. It emphasizes spending quality time with kids, engaging in fun activities, and fostering their curiosity. The text also highlights the value of homeschooling and its potential to create a unique learning environment. Lastly, it shares personal anecdotes about how childhood interests can shape future careers.
➡ A famous choreographer, Jillian, who worked on Cats and Phantom of the Opera, was once a fidgety child who struggled in school. A psychologist recognized her need to move as a sign of her talent for dance, leading to a successful career in ballet and choreography. She later founded her own dance studio and worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber. The story also mentions the upcoming global launch of a project called Britfield, which includes a series of seven major motion pictures, with the first expected to be one of the highest grossing films in cinematic history.
➡ The text discusses the importance of learning from everyone and everything around us, emphasizing that all children are born with potential and creativity. It suggests that environment and opportunity are key factors in a child’s development, not genetics. The speaker also encourages using resources like books and documentaries to expose children to different cultures and places. Lastly, it mentions a plan to continue discussing these topics in future sessions.

I’m your host Brad Wozny. As you know, we stand for love, levity and liberty because laughter is the best medicine, right? And it also is an elevation in our vibration. So you know Reader’s Digest got that one right. I’m joined here today with an absolutely remarkable man, divine sovereign soul, Chad Stewart who is the multi time author of the Britfield series. We’re going to speaking about that as well as he has films in production from the series and what I find a number of items compelling about is we’re talking about creativity being killed in our schools for generations as opposed to making the shift and tapping back into that inner child within.

Right. Following your soul’s purpose here, as well as what we can do. If you’re a parent or you’re an aunt or you’re an uncle or heck, you just want to make a change in your life and remove yourself from the system that sucks your soul, time, energy and money. This man has an inspirational story to tell as well. Chad, welcome. And I’m just going to read your bio for a few paragraphs for everybody and then we’ll move into the show, my friend. So thank you. Perfect. Thank you. All right, well, he’s born in Newport Beach, California.

And Chad, as I mentioned, word winning best selling author, global strategist and creativity educator. He founded the prestigious Britfield Institute dedicated to creativity and literacy and Devonfield, a media empire committed to the highest quality in education, publishing and movie productions. A previous investment banker, Chad has worked at bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch. He received a Bachelor of Arts in British Literature and European History from Brown University, earned an MBA from Boston College, and is pursuing a Master of Science in Advanced Management at Claremont Graduate University. Wow. He’s now based in San Diego, a strong supporter of education and the arts, a past professor at Fermanian Business School of Business, and the past board president of the San Diego Ballet.

The Britfield dynasty and his entire literature have been featured around the world. And like I said, award winning best selling fast paced adventure novels that transports the reader from smoldering Craigs of Yorkshire through the heart of England and finally to the magnificent shores of Dover. And that’s the first in his series of books. Chad, welcome to the Sovereign Soul, my friend. Thank you. I’m glad to be on. I loved your, your comment about laughter and it’s so great, right, to, to laugh. And I was thinking about some of my favorite things is to, is to pull up the Saturday Night Live when they break, when they crack in the scene.

Oh yeah, and those are, those are actually the funniest stuff. They’re like funnier than the actual scene. Exactly. Funniest. Not to get off topic, but the funniest thing, if you can find it out there, it’s, it was a newscaster and he’s introducing this, this, this pig that’s at this children’s, you know, school and it’s got, it’s got its two hind legs are, are missing and it’s on this little wheelbarrow. And so the guy kind of goes into it and, and they’re showing the picture and, and he goes, and so there and he just absolutely loses it.

And I tell you something, when I first saw that, I have never laughed harder. You know, one of those laughs that’s just like deep in your soul. And it was like so funny to see him lose. He’s like, I can’t do it because I can’t read. Exactly. Yeah. Anyway, all right. Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, cheeseburger. Ah, there’s some classics out there too. Yeah, yeah. Well done. Well done. Well, thank you for what you do. Just let’s tap into a bit of your story, your background, because when we were chatting beforehand, you know, we’re both in alignment with.

There’s a new age of creativity. And you said this is a renaissance and creativity which is coming up and a golden age, not just from a spiritual standpoint or financial standpoint, but I think from the creativity. And that’s what they’ve been suppressing through us for generations in our schools and all of the westernized cultures, I believe. Yeah, we’ve been in a downward spiral for decades in the world of creativity. It’s funny. And if I got just a minute to introduce it because the stats are worth it. But you’re probably familiar with this, but the gentleman’s name was George Land and he did, he.

He was hired to do a creativity test for the government. It was very successful. They had analytical tests, mathematical tests. So he creates this incredible creativity test because it’s really good for balance, specifically for engineering and space program. And so he took the same test, put it into the school system because he was interested to see how kids would do. And he tested thousands of five year olds. And out of a. And out of the 5 year olds, 98% or 98 of 105 year olds were testing off the charts little geniuses, Brilliant, creative. Tested that same group at age 10, it dropped down to 30%.

Same group at age 15, it dropped down to 12%. And so he saw that not only were schools killing creativity, were teaching creativity out of the students. That’s sad. Little five year old. I mean, they’re all just so smart, so brilliant. Their mind’s just flowing and stuff. And then 10 years later they go from 98% to 12%. And then I’ll end on this. But it’s important because it sets the pace of everything we’re talking about. But a woman by the name of Dr. Kim, she’s out of William and Mary, wrote a book called the Creativity Crisis and documented for over two to three decades hundreds of thousands of scores in specific areas and she, she discovered that since the 1990s, schools have killed curiosities and passions, narrowed visions, lowered expectations, stifled risk taking, destroyed collaboration, narrowed minds, killed deep thoughts and imagination, forced conformity, and solidified hierarchy.

As a result, children today are less emotionally expressive, less energetic, less humorous, less imaginative, less talkative, less verbally expressive, and less perspective perceptive. Does that sound accurate? And so I just wanted to set the space so we have this creativity crisis on one end. And I can tell you right now, by fact and research, creativity is the number one most important skill set in the world. It’s not technology, it’s not AI, it’s not engineering, which is all offshored anyway, replaced by technology. It’s creativity. Yeah, it’s absolutely compelling when you look at that statistic that by the age of 40, those who were in that study, they’re like 2% correct left over.

So what that also tells everybody who’s watching this broadcast, listening to this podcast, is you’re born a creative genius. And that’s the things they wanted to strip out of you in the system to suck your soul, time, energy, and money. One thing too on that, George Lance said, even though you, it’s at 32, that he tested them, age 32, and it was like 2%. He goes, you can get back to 98%. That’s, that’s the important thing. It’s not like I’ve lost my criteria and can never get it back. You can get all the way back to 95, 98%, regardless.

You just need to surround yourself within that world. And like anything, it’s like a muscle. You know, if I, if I want to run a marathon, I need to start walking and then run a mile and then two miles and things like that, and you start to build up that, that endurance. So get back into that creative world, but you can get back the creativity that has been educated out of you. And with your story, then, you know, you were talking earlier. I think that’s a great segue into the creative moments. You know, I’ve said before that, you know, your soul can speak to you or you hear those whispers from source as well.

And you had an interesting story on how you started this. I mean, you’re an investment banker. That’s some of the top institutions in the globe crushing it. Meryl. Go, Meryl. I almost said golden. Sorry. And B of A. And I don’t know why it’s stuck in a vernacular, but it’s there. And, and so here you are, you know, at Merrill Morgan and, and bank of America. And you’re out of seminars. You always pick up here, there with people because this is inspiring the people feeling like, what else is out there for me? Do I have to surrender to the job J O B the just over broke that I still have right now? Or is there something more to life? And I get it too, and I’ve said this on other interviews that we all are born creative.

And a lot of your audience might not feel that way. I’m not creative or I can’t paint or write. You are creative. You’re born creative. And there were certain talents that you had, things that you enjoyed doing. And just because you want to write or write a story or a poem, doesn’t mean you need to get it published or be a world class, you know what I mean? It’s like, just go do it. Because in doing it, it’s exciting and it’s fun. And when you’re in a creative zone. We were talking about this earlier. It lowers depression, it takes away stress, it virus the synapse.

Another myth out there is that we use 10% of our brain. Bunk science. You use 100 of your brain when you’re thinking and, and doing things, and often using both of them left and right, depending on what you’re doing. But no. I was born in Newport Beach, California. I was back east in Wellesley, Massachusetts for 16 years where I did my undergraduate in British literature, European history, and then went on to postgraduate and graduate school, got into investment banking. And it was when I was at, I think it was Merrill that was down. I was sent down to this insurance seminar in Providence, Rhode island and I was just getting really burned out.

You know, it’s just like I, you know, if you, if you stay the course there and build your book of business, you know, you can, you can play golf, you know, and be making, you know, X amount of dollars and stuff. And it’s like, you know, there was more, there was more to life for me than that. And I was dying to do something creative. And that’s. I was at this insurance seminar and I started to drift and fade and I doodled a simple circle, three lines, a basket, a boy and a girl. And I wrote the boy in the balloon.

And that image resonated with me. It’s a trigger. And I thought, that’s one over your right shoulder right there that everybody see. Yeah, yeah, that image. Okay. Yeah, better there. Yeah, there you go. And yeah, that’s actually Field Lost Book one. And so, and so, yeah, this whole idea. And I lived off and on in England for, for two years and again British literature major and stuff. And as we said before, when you, when you write something, you write about what you know and you write about what you love. And so I had this whole idea, this you know, orphan, modern day, really important.

It takes place in present day. Not futuristic, not post apocalyptic, not kids killing kids for food, you know, dear goodness gracious. And it just takes place in England. Up starts up in Yorkshire, horrible orphanage called Weatherly orphanage. Tom’s a 12 year old orphan, he’s been there for six years and this is the year he’s going to escape. But I love it because I say that within the second page it’s like. It’s not a book about the orphanage, it’s about getting out of the orphanage and he’s not going anywhere that his best friend Sarah who’s been there for two years and they eventually escape Commodore, hot air balloons start flying all over England trying to get to London, the greatest city in the world.

And they go to Oxford, Windsor, London and finally Canterbury. And so I sat down. Took me four years, 2,500 hours to write Britfield and the Lost Crown Book 1. And from concept and doodle to launching, it was over 10 years of hard work, discipline, building my team, raising capital, working on the marketing plan, the business plan, false starts, frustrations, rejection, name it. Right. But I had a vision and I had an idea and a mission. And we always said that Britfield’s more than a book, it’s a, it’s a movement in literature, education, films and media. I think, I think that’s a very important congratulations by the way.

Sticking to it and being out here, it’s an honor. And I also want to shout out to Natalie, you know who you are. Thank you for the original connection last year when we had a chat and then for Terry for the follow ups. So apologos to divine feminine Lionesses. You know back in the early 2000s and I was you know, making my, my plan to escape the corporate world, the system. I started touring for five years with Mark Victor Hansen and another guy, Bob Allen. And Mark had co created Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Sure.

What, what you see with him and Jack and I got to know Jack Canfield and did a couple bunch of seminars with him. Attended a bunch of his seminars rather. Right. But you get to know each other fairly well over a five year period of time. Sure. And their story is very similar. Right. You have, you have a, a Ph.D. in Dr. Jack Canfield. You have, Mark was doing all his other stuff and then they came in the movement and what they created over the course of roughly a decade. I think it was 12 years from literally soup to nuts.

The chicken Soup for the soul and getting out there to New York Times bestseller, you know, the financial as well as the continue. There was somewhere published was over 140 or 160 rejections. And then we found a publisher who said I’ll print them for you. And they said great. And they said you have to buy it. Then they raised the capital to buy it and go out and then market it. You know. So now, now it’s a little different, but the key thing being the focus on the movement. So you got a download where we are here in your powerful story.

You had a download, an insurance seminar to do this. You sketched it out and you did it for yourself first. And I think that’s really important. As you outlined earlier. Ch, you know, hey, if you don’t think you can be a painter or a writer or a cartoonist or whatever, you know, just, just start doing it. Playing guitar, right. And do it for yourself. Not worrying about the judgment of others or whatever. Just like, just follow these little, these little trails and see, see what works out for you and see what comes of it. And you don’t need to focus on creating movement.

You just enjoy. Focus on joy. I think. Would that, is that fair to say? Focus? Oh yeah. That led you here? Yeah, yeah. It was interesting. Yeah, I think it was like 143 rejections. And what’s interesting about that story, like publishers and publishers don’t know anything about the publishing industry. And that’s the one thing that I found in the last 10 years. Everything is counterintuitive. People, people in the marketing field don’t know anything about marketing. They don’t know what works. They don’t, they don’t, you know. Well, they’ll take your 50 or $100,000 to market whatever you want to market, but they have no fricking idea.

Social media experts aren’t experts of anything. I mean it’s so interesting in the publishing industry. And that story with Chicken Soup for the Soul is, isn’t an odd man out story. That’s the, that’s the norm. You know what I mean? I mean it’s like if you’re, if you remember that movie in the book, the, the Help. Yes. And that was rejected by something like 50 literary agents. Wow. And, and, and then, you know, just goes down the list. I mean there’s so many that were rejected, rejected, rejected, rejected. And so it’s it’s interesting because they don’t know anything, but when you have a passion, you pursue it.

But go ahead. Yeah. No, that was the point, I think, you know, you know, following the joy and then seeing where those seeds go. Right. And then if you really want to do it, then you kind of. You have a Cortez Ships moment, so to speak. Real quick. One of my favorite stories is I was a big Star wars fan growing up, especially this, the first trilogy, and still am, right? The best. It’s the best. Yeah, it was awesome. The original. It’s so funny. I saw a meme and it had. It had Return of the Jedi, and the father and son were watching and said, yes, son, that was the last time they did an official Star wars movie.

And I thought, oh, that’s so funny. But, but like George Lucas, like, with, with his script, it was called the Star wars at the time, it was, you know, was passionate about and stuff and took it out to every single studio. Every single studio turned it down. Every director turned it down. Every producer turned around. They said it was ridiculous story. No one’s going to come and watch it. He kept pounding the pavement. It was after 18 months. Finally, 20th Century Fox said, fine, we’ll do it. But if we do it, number one, we’re not going to give you the budget that you want.

And number two, we’re going to sign you to a contract. Because he was. He had some success coming out of America Graffiti. So it’s like, hey, he’s talented, you know, guy from usc, et cetera and stuff, and the rest is history. You know what I mean? And it’s like, it took him. I think he was. He was on three different continents reinventing, you know, special effects and everything that they. Because they didn’t have to actually hit the cameras to do what he wanted to do, costuming it. I still hired the Pillsbury Doughboy commercial guys to do special effects on Star Wars.

Oh, really? I didn’t know that. Yeah, yeah. And then. And then 18. 18 months into it, 20th Century Fox still hadn’t cut him a check. And so he’s using all his royalties from American Graffiti just to fund his movie. Finally, they kick it in. Three years later, he finishes it. 1977. My producer right now, Andy Howard, because we’re doing that, the Redfield book, he was at the opening in 1977 because he was an industry person. I think that’s kind of cool. And he goes, everyone, I love the story. Because everyone walking in, they were, like, joking and laughing, saying, this is going to be so stupid and silly.

And it’s like, George Lucas will never. Will never work in this town again. He’ll never survive this. And they. And he goes. When they came out, they had a whole different look on their face and it was like you were just a part of history. Now that’s. That’s a. In the film industry, that is a major, major pivoting point. And I think even by today’s standards, watching it are still extraordinarily highly entertaining. And the music, I mean, John. John Williams and you know, I won’t go down the rabbit hole, but it’s just such an amazing story.

But that’s the norm. You know what I mean? It’s just like, you know, one of the greatest. They don’t know anything. One of the greatest movies in history. It’s a fourth highest grossing film. It’s a 60. No, I’m sorry. It’s a $72 billion franchise franchise based on a script that everybody rejected. I have some insider knowledge on that. Go ahead. I’ve had. I’ve had personal. Some personal mentorship by John Melius. So John was the screenwriting professor for Lucas, Spielberg Coppola at ucla. And when I, when I got into town there in 2018. Ish. And then we were introduced through a mutual friend and again, he had had a stroke, so it was a little hard to talk.

But we’re talking. For anybody who doesn’t know, you look up John Melius films. He wrote Red dawn, which I’ve had. I’ve had, you know, Red dawn and Conan the Barbarian wrote and directed and, and with Red Dawn, I literally love Red Dawn. Colonel, Colonel Chuck Sellers, former deputy commander of Delta Force, on the show many times he said, in the Green Berets and in Delta Force, they used it as a training film. A training film in the 80s. And this is an incredible man who, you know, was in the unit hunting Noriega in the. Was. That was the 80s, right.

Also went into Panama. Panama Operation just cause. With. With our mutual friend Michael Draco and, And that they actually. You want to hear another cool insider. Funny story. I haven’t got to the mealies part yet. I’d love to spend an hour just talking about Red Dawn. Yeah. Yeah. That’s the coolest movie ever. No, I’m just kidding. Three years ago I had a tier one operator, you know, kind of show. I call it like the Tier one Warriors. Right. Bishop Jim o’, Connor, multiple exorcisms, West Point grad, US army major, retired airborne. Incredible man Of Light. Natalie knows him.

And then Colonel Sellers. And then I had Michael Jacob. And they come on and we start the intro and then go over to Michael and Chuck and they’re looking at each other and he’s like, I know you. I remember you. Were you in Panama? Yeah. They met all those years ago on Operation Just Cause. And here we are on a show three years. But anyway, back to Red Dawn, Milius and Star Wars. So he was talking with Lucas. This is literally directly from John Muli saying, you know, at the time, Spielberg and Coppola. And also he did Apocalypse Now.

He wrote the script and he helped shoot it with Coppola. Apocalypse Now. Right, John. So he said at the time, not only was he getting the rejections, but even Spielberg and Coppola were telling him not to do Star wars because he just came off American Graffiti. He even ran it to. To Ford and Ford went, no, this is ridiculous. And then even when he got to the point in the UK to start filming even Carrie and Mr. Ford himself thought it was a ridiculous movie. They thought they were making a ridiculous movie for the first. I guess it was few weeks.

And then when it premiered, Melia said, well, Spielberg took him to Hawaii to go bow hunting for wild boar when it would premiere. Because he premiered Star wars to Spielberg and Coppola. And they both said, this will be. George. This will be an absolute failure. You should leave the country. So he’s in Hawaii in the bush, not wanting to hear the wires. When it premiered at Hollywood Theater, Insider information from Milus and. And here it is. And Milus helped him with some stuff. And this is before everybody. We know where, you know, at least Spielberg is now, but maybe this was before Takeover, I don’t know.

But I’m telling you, from. From horse to my ears, horse’s mouth to my ears. John Melius, Conan, Don, Apocalypse Now, Patriot Games, Tom Clancy, all this other stuff. Right. Directly to me on. And I think that’s just inspiring because, you know, I believe the download you got the downloads. I’ve had the downloads. People see, that’s like your soul speaking to you. When you start following those whispers and those seeds begin to germinate, you can continue to that path and see what happens. Right. And we have Star Wars. Amazing. Yeah, I know. And it’s a great story because really what we’re illustrating is.

Is. Is the belief in what you have. The belief in yourself. And really everyone that doesn’t really know anything. Yeah. Telling you. No. And it made me think of Tolkien and how. Right. The whole The Inklings and the whole group thought the Lord of the Rings series was. Was. They thought it was ridiculous. Ridiculous, yeah. Like, don’t write this. It’s going to ruin your career. And Lewis was the only one that encouraged him to keep going and finishing it. And it took him 17 years and got him a publisher. Rest is history. And again, again, saying that’s the norm.

It really is. It’s not like this whole Facebook thing of a kid out of. Out of Harvard College. Give me a break, dude. That’s all fiction. That was a $500 million DARPA project. DARPA, right. And so it’s just like, that’s all fiction. You know, Amazon, you think that’s some. The guy can’t even spell his name. And Bezo, you know, the guy’s a. He’s an actor. You know, they’re just actors. And so this overnight success is nonsense. It’s. It’s complete fiction. But anyway. Yeah, yeah. And just. By the way, I love Patriot Games is like, these are the.

These are in my library vault. You know what I mean? Like, I love Patriot Games. I didn’t like the others, but I. I love Patriot Games. There is something so cool and sophisticated and edgy about that movie. I just. It’s. Yeah, it’s. It’s cool. Yeah. John’s amazing. And he converted the book for Clancy to do the screenplay for Red October. So he was on set with Baldwin, Red October, and saw all the inner fighting going between him and Alec back in the day. But anyway, you know, but being there and just like showing up and being at his place in Brentwood and you walk in and it’s, you know, it’s.

There’s nothing ostentatious and it’s just like you’re walking into a historical museum of some of the action movies of all time. And the man is sitting in his chair, who had all the brilliance and he was also a lover of history. By the way, there’s a great tie in for you. Right? So John originally, what, thought he would be a history professor, and then he started writing and then he started exploring that. And so again, following these seeds and went down, down these rabbit holes, so to speak. Screenplays and stories and. And still with a stroke, he would write on a.

On a punch typewriter, you know, with. Incredible, incredible. And that’s been the huge thread with, with my Britfield Books, ladies and gentlemen.

But I include all types of geography, history, art, architecture and culture. You know, but one is in England.

Book two is France, Book three is Italy. But four is Eastern Europe and Russia. And I now just finished as of last weekend, the outline for book five refill. The Lost Treasure starts in Siberia, ends in Australia, goes all the way through Asia. And then book six, you’ll appreciate this is in South America. Book seven, United States. But it’s again, it’s, it’s pulling in all this great, you know, history and geography and architecture and culture and just creating this wonderful world for children and adults to read and love and enjoy. Yeah, and I think that’s also important too because when you’re looking at the here and the now, you have an opportunity for people to travel through story in their hands.

How rare is that these days for people to do this? You mentioned there was some adults who were reading the books and you have some stats about CS Lewis and Tom Story. Would you mind sharing that because then I want to talk about school movement again following that age of creativity and how they’ve been killing creativity across our generation. Brieffield Lost Ground Book 1 in August 2019 and at the time I kicked off a national school tour because it was always boots on the ground. I want to do my own research. And So I drove 9,000 miles.

I visited 23 states, presented over 200 schools in front of more than 40 to 50,000 students. And all the dynamics and demographics. Private, public, Christian, Catholic, homeschool, homeschool farm in Carson, Nevada, which was phenomenal. And we can swing back to that. But no. Our youngest reader, 7 oldest readers, 93, 55% of our global audience are adults. And it is very interesting. I had, I got a comment months ago from an older woman. I think she’s from Canada. We get a lot of feedback from Canada too. Love my Canadians brothers and sisters. But she said, she goes, I love the Redfield series.

She goes, she goes, reminds me a lot of James Bond but with a bigger cast and a greater purpose. I thought what a great line. I’m like that’s. He just summarized everything. And then another one which was a great comment, says that it’s a combination of C.S. lewis and Dan Brown. Dan Brown Epoch times. I saw that. Yeah. Wow. So, so really 50, 50 of our global audience are, are adults. And, and it’s funny too because that’s what so great. Yes. Lewis was, was, was doing with Narnia. He, he loved fantasy and, and, and loved the sort of the fantasy books, the fiction books, the exciting child, high child wonderment.

And he wanted to somehow create a story that for adults and that’s so, so interesting is like it’s, it’s now one of the most popular best selling children’s books of all time, of course, and we’ve all grown up on it. But it was designed and written for adults and I thought that was fascinating. And then I’m reading the biography on, on Mark Twain right now, about a thousand page biography and I didn’t realize this, but Tom Sawyer was actually written, it was his first real novel. He’d written sort of novel esque types of things. But he’s kind of having ups and downs in his, in his writing career and he just wanted to come back to the basics and he wanted to write his wonderful childhood growing up on the Mississippi and being a kid.

And he was writing that book specifically for adults. And I thought that was very interesting. And it was. Finally the literary agent said, you know, you really should. This is such a Great book. You should market it for kids, to kids. But. And that was after the fact. It was already written. But his. His goal for that book, Mark Twain, was for adults, so an adult could sit there and remember what it was like to be a kid and to be fun and creative. And I just love that. And I love those stories because I didn’t realize that I learned that this week, that’s all.

Yeah, it’s very nourishing. Very nourishing. That’s so cool. And Narnia, everybody. I mean, we were. We had to read it growing up in school, and I had no problems. You know, it just kind of takes you. One of the things about books, too, especially for the kids. It just takes you out of the life that you’re living, and it gives you information in different worlds. I love that you’ve combined different worlds and you actually haven’t the time to explore it throughout each episodic. You know, like England, France, Italy, and then from Siberia all the way to Australia.

It’s gnarly. I wish I had my mask. I map everything out because I have to visually see it. And so I’m, you know, like, I have. Where it starts in this little speck in Siberia and then goes through Mongolia. There’s a really cool scene. And then I have all the different modes of transportation, whether walking horseback, camels, trains, cargo planes. I mean, every type of transportation, just because it. And these books are all based on, like, real places, and everything is as authentic as it can be. So I don’t try to suspend reality, if you will, where it’s like, oh, come on.

You know what I mean? I’m always the worst devil’s advocate. I mean, it’s all real things that. In real times. And, you know, how cold is it in Siberian in September? You know what I mean? It’s the research I’m doing. And what are the Nor. What are the types of birds and animals you would see in the Mongolian forest? You know, what. What do. What do Mongolian tribesmen eat? Because they bump into it like they’re surrounded and they’re stuck, and they’re at a desperation moment. It’s a plot point. And they meet this Mongolian tribe that rescue them.

It’s really cool, but. And it’s just. It is. I. I have fun riding them, and I think that’s. That’s what’s really important. And we’re talking about that, too. It’s like, do what you want to do and do what you love doing, not what you think you should do. So many people Right now are hooking their tails and writing novels and books on. On, you know, with my. My sister’s witch sister or the Vampire Next Door, because they think it’s popular fiction. It’s crap, number one. But number two, it’s like instead of writing what you should write what you know, what you want to do, they’re trying to duplicate what’s out there because they think it’s popular.

Don’t do that. Trust your own voice, trust your own instinct, trust your own style. It’s great to be influenced. I was influenced by Charles Dickens. He’s probably one of the greatest writers in history. And it’s funny too, because I’ve been in this classic deep dive for the last, let’s say eight to ten weeks and months. I mean, and going back into a lot of the classics. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, you know, the Brontes, you know, Withering Heights, Jane Eyre, George Eliot’s Middlemarch, which was actually voted recently as the number one most popular or best Victorian or no British novel, which blows my mind, doesn’t deserve the ranking, but anyway, and then I’ll be honest, and then into a lot of other stuff, like Thomas Harding.

A lot of his stuff is very dark and. And most of the books that I’m reading are. Are hard to read, number one, and are very, if you will, negative. I don’t need to read a story about realism. I don’t need to know how hard life is. You know, I don’t need the newspaper to read about a recent shooting and someone dying or a car accident where people burned alive. And they do all that for sensationalism and for negativity. And you probably cover that. I need to. But Dickens at least captured this. This idea of realism in real times, but with hope, right? Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, wonderful stories.

And I think he’s really almost one of the only authors that have done that, that don’t. That don’t lose it fiction and don’t go too dark and don’t end on a dark note. So anyway, well, and to that point, I appreciate the consciousness. You know, I’m about awakening mankind’s consciousness and sentient life across the planet. And we don’t need to have that. We have to have conscious media out there where you can still have the romanticism and the fantastic adventure that you get taken on. And it could be 100% realistic or it can be totally fantastical.

Yet for me, again, it has to be with a positive note on everything. And you have an incredible way to solve, you know, those plot twists, as everybody loves to go through that and, and then to see these incredible places as well and get to explore them. Just like the success that Dan Rand had with all of his, his books. I truly appreciate. One of the things about creativity too is I was on a show a couple of weeks ago, we’re recording another one tomorrow night with incredible colonels, generals of the world. And we were asked, you know, where do you see AI? And the quote came out from one of the lieutenant colonels, special forces operate officer who said, that is the existential threat to humanity.

We’ve seen it from Terminator. We have seen it from the Matrix franchise, which was ripped off from Tom out Althouse whatnot, the AI and the robots and whatnot. What are your thoughts about this from a creativity standpoint? Yeah, I, I loved it, love that when you told me that quote. Because it’s a perfect quote. And, and he absolutely gets it. And within one sentence. That’s exactly it. It’s a complete and total threat. It’s another lie, and a lie straight from hell. It’s gonna make our life easier, or we need it, or think. I think of the things we can do, and that’s absolutely not the design of it.

Kind of like the Patriot act, it’s for your own safety. Another big ass lie. And it was funny. You were talking about the Terminator, and I, and I love the quote that says the Terminator wasn’t a movie, it was a documentary. And they said the same thing about the Matrix, right? And the Terminators, that’s their goal. People that are pushing this behind it because God is such a failure that he didn’t mean such a lousy human being, whereas the human being is extraordinary. And we’d even be more extraordinary if we weren’t drugged and dumbed down and, you know, poisoned and, you know, a thousand other things out there that’s, that’s, that’s keeping us from being ourselves.

And that comes all the way back to creativity. You know, it’s like, I mean, did you, you know, to your audience, did you really want to work, you know, 60 hours a week in a cubicle, you know, making, making paycheck to paycheck. Was that your goal and your child? Of course not. You know what I mean? That was, that was the Cabal’s design, the future. But I think it’s. I think it’s. It’s extremely dangerous. I think it’s ridiculous. It’s nothing of what they say it is. And it cannot do 90% of what they say it can do.

I’ve often said, like when you’re, you know, punching something in and they’re like. AI says, and it’s like, no, it’s just a bunch of tech guys out of India that are sitting there pulling the answers together. But most of it’s false. One thing that AI can never be is creative. And they’re like, oh, no, it’s creating. We’re creating the sense that sensitive, you know, sensitive census or, you know, whatever consciousness inside. And you never will, you know, you’ll never create. It’ll never be creative. It can pull and plagiarize. They can pull different people’s artwork that they’ve created out of the human spirit and pull it together and create something.

I can write a paragraph or a story based on other literature that’s already been created, but it’s not creating its own. Another lie. And so I think it’s. I think it’s ridiculous. I think the people that hook the wagon to it are foolish. And it’s the next thing. And it’s like the more they. The more. The louder they’re shouting, the farther I would run from something, right? Kind of like something that happened in 2020 and the big threat that was overtaking the globe and oh my gosh, if you don’t get poison inside your system, and guess what? You could have it and not even know you have it.

And breathing air was dangerous. Same lies. Same. Star Trek even warned us too. So we see these tales for the centuries, you know, of Star Trek, because every race in Star Trek, even if the. The Klingons in the original Star Trek were battling the Galactic Federation when the Borg showed up, you know, my. My enemy is my enemy’s enemy. It becomes my. Then you go, and so we see that there too. And, and I feel that the schools, as well as the social medias purposely are making it so readily available. Now you have that deductive mental reasoning is just given up to it.

I’ve seen it in calls with people and they’re like, well, I just died going on. You can also use a search engine. And you could also maybe go to a library, which is old school, of course, these days, but you can still do that and pull up a whole bunch of periodicals. I think there is a little bit of the convenience aspect. Let me just pull that up. And then it’ll kind of source those that do the deep dive rather than just default critical decision making in deference to a programmable system. By the way, who’s Going to be programming AI.

Exactly. Excellent. Who’s going to be building the computer or mining the material or, or, you know, organizing or watching or. It’s like, it’s like, you know, give me a break. But. And again, I just wanted to end on this note. I mean, look, you know, sports technology is fantastic. We talked about that. The laptop’s incredible. You and I are doing. I didn’t have to fly all the way down to where you’re at. Right. You know, and we said about like the phone, I mean, you know, there’s. It’s cool. You shouldn’t be carrying it in your pocket.

You shouldn’t be on it all the time. It shouldn’t be by your bed stand. Idiots. You know, you shouldn’t be holding it to your ear. Idiots. But, but it’s convenient. I mean, there’s, there’s aspects of tech, you know, balance. Everything is in balance. And there’s aspects of AI. There’s stuff that it really, there’s nothing new about AI. It’s just. It’s an advanced technology. It’s just another level of technology or faster technology. And, you know, if you can punch in some coordinates and try to find something or map it out and it can do it in five minutes instead of, you know, three hours, fantastic.

Why not? But it’s balance. You know what I mean? And it’s, it’s not our savior. It’s not a big deal. Don’t, don’t get hooked into it. Don’t get fooled with it. Anyway, it’s interesting too, because real quick, you know, the push stuff, this is kind of the way they work it. They work. Oh, engineering is the most important degree to have when they know for a fact, this is like 10 years ago, they were. They offshored 40 to 50% of all engineering jobs to third world countries. So even engineers graduating from top Ivy leagues weren’t able to get a job.

And number two, they know that technology is going to replace most of all those jobs anyway. And I remember reading some statistics. The next three to five years, call it five to seven years, 80% of all the legal field will be obsolete. There’ll be no more lawyers, 40 to 50%. The whole medical field. Nurses, doctors gone. Banking, 50 to 60% gone. All replaced by technology. So what are people going to be doing? You know what I mean? So it’s like, oh, technology. Technology is so great now. And they’re pushing it to, to extinct us, you know what I mean? Or make us extinct.

But anyway, yeah, and, and that goes back to the creativity Aspect, it doesn’t have it and it requires us to make the programming and then back in the school systems then. So if you have parents are out there, aunts, uncles, listening to this right now, you know what would be some of the important messages from Redfield series related to school systems? Creativity today and perhaps maybe homeschooling. You have some pretty cool statistics. Sure. Reach out. Well, I love, I love the whole homeschool movement but the Briefield series is really, they’re fun, they’re wonderful. It’s based on family, friendship, loyalty and courage.

We incorporate critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration. Every book. They’re fast, fast paced books. We use a huge variety of vocabulary, sentence structure but they’re, they’re, they’re just well written and they’re, they’re based on a movie script react structure which makes them, I mean 90% of the feedback we’ve received from readers is that it reads like a movie or I feel like I’m in a movie or I feel like I’m there. Or I can relate to the characters which of course you can relate to the characters because they’re not witches or wizards or warlocks. You know what I mean? Give me a break.

But no, the books, the books are wonderful. We’re already in thousands of schools across the United States. We actually have an 83 page study guide based on academic standards. So you could actually book one in the school. I’m already being taught in hundreds of schools across the nation, which is cool. But Brickfield is being taught. When you say that, just want to pump break something. This book is already in hundreds of school. It’s in thousands of schools across the nation in the libraries, being recommended to libraries. We’re already having impact on literature, on literacy. Excellent. And I get that feedback from librarians because they’ll sit there and they’ll have a reluctant reader, usually boys between the ages of 13 to 14, 15, 16 that just.

They read their graphic novels or they don’t. They don’t. They’ve never read a real book or a novel. They’ll give them a field book and they’ll come back in two or three days and, and say could I get book two? It’s the first novel they’ve ever read. And there’s a wonderful comment from a librarian in Louisiana. She goes I was. And she sent me the email and she goes, I was in the parking lot doing parking duty, you know, as all the parents are coming in. And also this woman rolls down her window and she goes, you.

She goes, you’re the one that finally got my son to read and all because of Britfield. And I just thought, oh, isn’t that cool? And that’s that unintentional thing. I mean, I never thought we’d have an impact on literacy. You know what I mean? I was trying to create a better mousetrap. I was trying to write a better book. There’s a great quote by Beverly clearly that says if you ever walk into a bookstore library and you don’t find the story you’re looking for, write it and write it yourself. And that’s what I did. I created the Brookfield series to be something of taking you, the reader, back to the wonderment of childhood, to the excitement of living, to the adventure of culture and history and architecture in a fast paced action adventure.

So to capture it. But I love the whole homeschool movement. My advice would be, you know, if you have the opportunity to homeschool your kids, not this semester, maybe next. Well, you’re actually in summer, so in the fall, see what happens is there’s a misconception number two. Number one, the homeschool movement has gone from anywhere from 3 to 4 million to almost 8 to 10 million in the last five years nationally. Huge. And we are, we are in a homeschool revolution right now. We’re also in an educational reformation, much like Martin Luther 500 years ago. That’s happening right now.

The whole educational system, this whole debunked model built on the industrial model from the 19th century, pushing socialistic ideas and killing creativity and taking creativity out of the classroom. It’s dead. It’s all dead now. It’s going to be like, you know, kicking around for the next, you know, two or three or four years. It’s done, it’s over, it’s exciting. And so there’s a misconception that if I homeschool my, my child, one of us are going to have to stay home. That’s not at all. There are all types of homeschooling models where it’s parents that live locally within your, within your area and you could drop your kid off at, at that group or that school or at that house and you got the, you still have the diversity of different ages.

The best well rounded, educated children I’ve ever met in my entire life and I myself came from some of the top privates and I’ve been to some of the top privates are homeschool kids. Yeah, home school. They’re well rounded, they’re grounded, they’re good listeners, they’re well read, they’re usually one to two years ahead of any other student, which is typical. I mean, the whole educational model. Like I get out at 22 years old with a $500,000 debt and I can’t even, I, I, I couldn’t even write a business plan. I mean, are you, are you out of your freaking mind? You know what I mean? And then, and then, and then it’s a Master’s degree and a Ph.D.

and I, I do my degrees because I, I enjoy going back to school and education, the challenges of it, but I also do it working. You know, I would never do a full time program that I’m pursuing a PhD now. So, but I’m doing it for all those different dynamics and stuff. But, but no, I love the homeschool model. It’s, it’s the most authentic and natural type of education that we were born to be in. And, and it’s great. And a quick story. When I was on and this personifies everything to me, I didn’t know anything about the homeschool movement five, six years ago, but when I was on my school tour and you know, I was driving all the way up California, all the way up to Seattle, all the way over to Chicago, I mean, I made it all the way down to New Orleans, all the way up to Memphis, Tennessee.

I was in Texas for a month driving around, but I was in Carson, Nevada and it was a homeschool farm and it was a friend of mine that was setting everything up. And I, I’m like, all right, let’s go. And she’s like in the car and pull up and it’s a really nice little farm, had a little gate and I punched in the number and I’m driving up, you know, this driveway and the first thing I saw were, let’s say seven or eight boys ages 11 to 16 or 17 playing basketball together because it was recess.

And I’m like, when is the last time you’ve ever seen that age range together? And, and within one minute, you know, because I’m perceptive, I got all the dynamics. The older kids were looking out for the younger ones in a mentorship capacity and the younger kids had someone older to, to, to esteem towards and to learn from. And all, all that dynamic was happening within that 60 seconds. And I park my car and this little 12 year old with her hair pulled back and nice little clothing on comes up to me and she goes, are you Mr.

Stewart? And I said yes. And she reaches out her hand, gives me a firm shake and she says, thank you for coming to our homeschool group. And I’m like, wow, you know, like who are you? Like, I’m like that’s a senator. I mean I was just, I was blown away. And I’ll be honest, like that was my first homeschool impression. And I’m telling you everything I witnessed within five minutes. And, and, and, and we could sit here and talk hours about those dynamics, you know, the care of it. She said, I bet she was the one that volunteered and said can I, can I be the one to introduce, you know, or, or come up and greet him, you know, and, and I mean just, it’s really cool.

It’s, it’s just amazing. So anyway, that goes back to our history and our culture of our entire species and how our community raised all of us back in the day before the institutionalization of society came down. The last century and a half across everywhere, finance, medical education, you name it, food as well, etc. Ladies and gentlemen, our show will continue after these brief and important messages.

I’ve had similar experiences with kids who are homeschooled and I have found them to be the most fascinating, well read and some of the like you talk about raised, right? Yes.

It’s incredible. Incredible to have conversations with kids who are properly homeschooled. It’s incredible. Completely different dynamics and psychographic of a child who’s been in a great homeschooling community oriented, I almost said establishment but program and that you see the fostering of the community of the older ones looking after the younger ones. And it’s a cooperative just like a co op. Right. It’s an educational co op with modern day teachings and incredible history being leveraged for them to actually follow the art of their heart. Really it’s. And it’s them getting oyster. Yeah, it’s them getting out with their parents.

And doing things or the groups. And it’s like, if you could do one thing as a parent, my greatest advice is spend as much time, number one, with your kids, but number two, doing fun things with them. You know, going down to the, the, you know, like every, every month, we’re gonna go down and walk, walk the tide pools for an hour. And then we’re gonna go grab some ice cream. We’re gonna go to the library once a month, we’re gonna pick out one or two books and maybe we’ll both read them together and then we’ll talk about it.

Or we’re going to have British month and we’re going to read a really cool British novel and then watch a travel, travel guide and then we’re going to cook a British meal. Little tiny things, right? Or hiking in the, in the hills or, or, you know, going down to the city and just, you know, spending an hour and looking at some of the, the architecture and talking about it. Going to the museum, right? This is normally free. And they’ll go there for the whole day. That would bore me to death. And go in and pick like, maybe one to two areas, whether it’s Egyptian or art or Dutch or, you know, Renaissance, whatever it is.

And then. And then like an hour there, maybe, maybe 45 minutes in each room. Have your kids go through and. And look at each painting. And if you’re with them, maybe, maybe talk about it. There’s always a card there to read it. And then have them maybe pick out their favorite. Their favorite. What’s your favorite painting? And then tell me why, why you like it so much. And I mean, and then. And then like, hey, let’s go grab a burger, you know, and it becomes a fun event. And it’s like you’re giving them all this exposure.

You never know what will stick. The kid is an interest in a musical instrument. Don’t go out and buy it. Rent one and they get burned out on the flute after like, you know, three or four weeks for the trumpet, get them another one. You know what I mean? Or leave it. If they want to be, you know, if they, if they’re interested in painting, go out and get the, get, get an easel and some paint. I’m not throwing money at it. This stuff’s basic, you know what I mean? This is like 20, 50, 30, whatever that.

It’s just like you want to give them as many opportunities as possible to figure out what sticks and, and, and what. And what hits. And it’s like you take into the tide Pools, you know, once a month and, and who knows, probably more than likely there’ll be a marine biologist when they grow up. Or you’re taking them up on hikes and doing a camping thing around the lake and, and fishing and doing all that kind of thing and teaching them how to do a campfire and stuff like that and just spending time with them and the fresh air and the sound effects and doing a little research and maybe having a little book there and talking about the animals and the difference and stuff and you know, who knows, like for, for 10 years from now, you arranger that’s, you know, that’s working up in the mountains, you don’t know.

And there’s a great book called Coloring Outside the Lines by Roger Shank. And he, he ran the A division of Northwestern master’s program in Cognitive sciences. And he has a wonderful story about when he went to, with his son to Paris for, you know, educational thing and, and his son was like 15 or 16, but very mature and his son was just fascinated with the, with the tube system, you know, getting on the, on the, on the, the tubes and being able to jump up and go here and stuff and, and the father’s like, here’s 40 bucks or 50 bucks.

Knock your socks off, you know what I mean? And the kid just jumped on the line and went here and went here and he goes, he goes. He later went on to college, now he’s a city planner. And I love using that example because of that experience. It so spoke to him and he found his voice, he found his what creativity, his talent and, and now he’s a city player and you just see that all the time, you know, by, by children having that experience. You never know what it, your child will never know what they are capable of doing until you give them an opportunity to do it.

I was in a sixth grade class and our assignment was to write a book. I think it had to be between 25 and 30 pages and, and it could be a paragraph and a picture and that’s the first time I learned that you write about what you know and you write about what you love. And so my first official book at 12 years old was called James Bond Eat yout Heart Out. I was a 12 year old secret agent working for the British government and lived in England in a beautiful Tudor style manor house. My partner was Jacqueline Smith from Charlie’s Angels.

I was driving a convertible red Porsche, no Ferrari. And I was tasked with finding this criminal and I had to travel all through Europe. Fast forward 40 years later, Britfield and Lost Crown. Right. And so you never, you never know. And it was just. I had fun writing, you know what I mean? And there were no boundaries. I could write whatever I wanted, you know, and it’s just cool. And so by taking those boundaries off and letting them do. Like I had building blocks when I was young, big box of them, you know, with all the different sizes and just build these big skyscrapers.

Fast forward to when I was back in New England and I started an architectural and development firm for eight years that put me through undergraduate and graduate school and I built beautiful mansions. Wow. From building blocks to mansions. Yeah, but I’ve had that love of that. We had a wonderful neighbor next door. She let me build a fort there. So I’d collect all the wood and pretty soon a little teepee went to a one story to a two story, you know, with a bed that was carpeted, you know what I mean? And little, little walkie talkies.

Yeah, yeah, we do forts, forts in the forest and forts in the basement with some of the pillows and, and the sheep whatnot. And played, played army for a while and soldier, all that kind of stuff. So, yeah, you have a story about Cats and Phantom of the Opera as we wrap. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So let’s end. Yeah, we’ll end on that and then I’ll, if we have a minute, I’ll end with some of my favorite quotes. But yeah, so it’s, it’s actually one of my favorite stories. There’s a great TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson, 2006 Monterey, and it’s called Our School’s Killing Creativity.

And it’s the number one most watched downloaded TED Talk in history by someone you’ve never heard of. Yeah, and it’s really, it’s really what he delivers. And it’s amazing because we all learn differently too. That’s really important. You know, some of us are visual, some of us are audio. Some of us, I myself, I, I need to do it. You can sit there and tell me all day long how to, how to assemble something. I need to physically get in there and start to do it. And that’s how I learned. And once I learn it, I, it never leaves me.

I could read book upon book, watch documentaries and look at pictures of countries. But when I go there just for a day and I walk it, I never forget about it. And it resonates. We’re all different. So anyway, he ends this wonderful talk about a true story. And her name is Jillian Lynn and she was a famous choreographer that did Cats in Phantom of the Opera. And the story goes that when she was younger, you know, sort of 8, 9, 10, 11, she was getting in trouble in school because she just couldn’t pay attention and she was fidgety and would be late with assignments.

And the teacher was really kind of worried and said, Mrs. Lynn, she goes, she probably take your daughter to a specialist and see what’s wrong with her. Right. And so Mrs. Lynn takes her daughter to this psychologist or psychiatrist. Psychologist. And he sits there in this kind of wood paneled room and they’re on the couch and they’re all talking. And then after about 20, 30 minutes, he sits there and says, jillian, I’m gonna talk with your mom for a couple minutes. I’ll be right back. And so before he left the room, he turned on the radio to some music and they kind of stepped out of the room and there was a window there.

And Mrs. Lynn’s like, what’s wrong with my daughter? And he goes, hold on, just watch for a minute. And they were watching her. And after a couple minutes she got up and she was dancing around and she said, there’s nothing wrong with your daughter. She’s a dancer. Take her to a dance class. And Jillian was, was interviewed later and said, what was it like? And she said, it was wonderful. She goes, I was finally where I needed to be. She goes, I was in a place where people needed to move to think. They needed to move to think.

And they did dance and tap and jazz and modern. And she ended up doing that for years. She eventually auditioned for the Royal Ballet. She had a wonderful soloist career. She eventually founded the Gillian Lynn Dance Studio, did that for years, taught thousands of people the art of dance, was hugely successful. Finally met Andrew Lloyd Webber and corresponded with him on Phantom of the Opera and Cats and. And she’s brought, she’s a multi millionaire and she’s brought success and wonderment, entertainment to millions of people. And someone else would have told her to sit down and put her on medication.

Exactly. And that’s how the story ends. And I love it because it’s so wonderful. And this psych psychologist had enough wherewithal to not sit there and say, let’s put her on some kind of drug or. Yeah, she’s really got a problem, you know, with her antsiness. She’s a freaking 9, 10 year old kid. What do you think’s gonna happen with her? And. And she was a dancer. And she goes on to a wonderful dance career, successful career. That was her voice, that was her talent, that was her creativity. And she found it and thank God that her mom did that.

And then, you know, starts her own school, teaches thousands of other people, boys and girls, and then goes on and meets Andrew Lloyd Webber and I mean, fan of the opera has always been one of my favorite musicals of all time. And she was involved in that. So anyway, that’s amazing. What’s next for Britfield? Yeah, it’s a big year for us. So last six years for us has been really a soft release. So there’s quite a reason why, you know, perhaps you haven’t seen or heard of us yet. Just been a long time building the brand, getting everything ready.

As of April of this year, we’ve now launched globally. We launched last year. Congratulations. Through Gazelle in Britain, which is exciting. We’re in pre production of the first of seven major motion pictures. Here’s a finished script. Yeah, yeah, you’ll like that. Seventh. Nice. It took. Took me three and a half years and 32 drafts. Oh, geez. Really? And they say, you know, the overnight success thing, you’re like, until you. Oh yeah. Every overnight success until. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. So no, we’re excited. We just moved into pre production in the last six to eight weeks. We’re hoping to be filming in England in spring of next year.

That’s our push right now. And if all goes well, we’ll have the first of seven major live action Brickfield movies launching. So if everything goes well, we’ll launch Brieffield lost crown movie one in November of 2027. And we actually believe that it will be one of the highest grossing films in cinematic history and that it will have a Star wars like moment. I, I felt that and anticipated that for years. Which is kind of a fun full circle back to Star wars because you remember, remember when that came out? I do, because I was like, I saw the first movie 8, 13 times and I’ve never seen a movie that many times.

And do you remember, do you remember lines around theaters? Oh yeah. Anybody can look at. Yep. Yeah. I mean it’s just stunning and it’s just, it captivated the spirit and it’s like, look, I’m not a sci fi guy and nothing wrong with it. Some people are. I could care less about it. I don’t like. But Star wars, like, it was just, it was just a wonderful movie. And I’ve used it when I’ve taught writing workshops. Eight things you can learn from from Star Wars. You know, what are the elements that you can take from a successful film like that it has nothing to do with Sci Fi original story, three act structure, great adventure, humor, diversity of characters, originality.

David and Goliath, great theme, you know, trying, you know, light over darkness, evil over, I mean, good over evil. Oh, and the hero’s journey. That’s what I was trying to say, you know what I mean? And all of that. Those are the elements that you can pull from it. And as far as I’m concerned, like, this is the relaunch of Star wars, you know, because nothing sci fi, nothing futuristic. It’s just everything that I learned from, from Star wars, that inspiration, you know, I’m Luke Skywalker. I’m here to rescue you. Like one day he’s on a farm, the most boring, you know, boringest outcrop in the middle of nowhere.

And the next, next, next day, he’s like on the, on the Death Star, rescuing a princess. That’s fun, you know, that’s cool. That’s exciting. That, that’s wonderment. A ragtag rebellion that’s going to defeat the mighty empire that has a. Has this planet that could destroy planets. Like, good luck. Like, that’s cool, that’s exciting, you know what I mean? And, and when all the odds are against them, you know what I mean? I love that. That is a David and Glass story and it’s a wonderful theme. So. Yeah, that’s amazing. What an inspiration. So truly appreciate it.

All that from a download in an insurance seminar? Yeah, I would have known. Yeah, yeah. Which, which inspires the entire world when something like that comes out. Theaters and then you also have books. So for everybody watching the broadcast or listening to the podcast, the links are right below in the description, so you can go ahead and grab your books. And the best, in my opinion is to order directly from the author’s website as opposed to other places. But you can also support other places, you know, whether it’s online distribution, global channel network, or even local bookstores, you can request in there too, which if you can and you have a local bookstore, that would be great.

You know, you’ve got to support that from a literacy standpoint, in my opinion. I love that. Yeah, we’re. It’s interesting too, because the literary market is growing at a 5 to 7% now. Paper market, really. Ebooks is flatlined at 8 to 10% and the independent bookstores is growing at a 5 to 7% now. For, for years they’re going. There used to be 3000 nationwide and they’re at about 1600 right now, 1500. And now they’re growing at 5 to 7% every year. Kids, kids love the paper. And I know that because I’ve interviewed thousands of them. They like holding it, they like touching it.

They’re like keeping it, which is great. Parents, get them off this. You’re getting them off the iPad. The, the, the phone from staring at something at blue light that’s gonna cause, you know, bore holes in their eyes and they can sit there and go back and reread things and, and you know, you also have the tangible aspect of being involved in a story when you have a book in your hands, no matter what. 100. Absolutely powerful. I’ll tell you something else too. The, the board game. We’re working on a Brickfield board game. Hey, nice. Yeah. But the board game market is a 2 billion dollar market growing at 5% every year.

Isn’t that interesting? The board game market is growing. That’s shrinking. Yep. Love that. Let me share. Can I end with a couple quotes? So absolutely. Yes. Please do. Yeah. If you buy through the ritfield.com website. I’m still signing books so it’s the only way to get signed books. And, and I just. I just. I’m shipping out some more today but. Nice. I’m not gonna be doing that much longer because things are getting extremely busy and everything will be. Well, we won’t be doing that anymore. But it’s a great time. They’re great gifts. You know, even. Even plan for.

For. We have like a four pack with all four books in there. Assign them all bookmark and a sticker. And they’re great gifts and they’re great to read. But here’s some of my favorite quotes that I’m sharing with you. What do dreams know of boundaries? Amelia Earhart. What do dreams know about. It is never too late to become what you might have been. Yes, absolutely. 100 true life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller. Yep. Almost anything is possible with time. Jane Austen. Yeah. This is one of my all time favorites. In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him.

And in that I am his pupil. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Meaning I. I can learn from everybody. Whether it’s a child or a doctor, a plumber or an engineer. Everyone has a story. Every. Everyone I can learn from. And there. And I am a pupil. I love that. This is one of my favorite. Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they’re capable of being. That’s Goethe. German philosopher. Never let someone else’s opinion of you become your reality. Less incredible. It’s an amazing like one encouraging word can change a person’s life and change their trajectory.

You’ll love this one. All tyrants need to gain a foothold. Is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson. Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat. Scott Fitzgerald. Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible. Frank Gaines. And this is my final one. All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. Oaso Absolutely. I, I’ve never heard that from a quote before. I love that, that great. All children are born artists. And it’s not geniuses and artists. Geniuses and artists. You know that I’ve, I’ve said that since the beginning when I got into the Raiki.

Like, we actually were born geniuses. Moral, altruistic and loving. That’s how we’re born. The environmental factors, Family, society that shapes us. Wow. Very powerful. Yeah, it’s a footnote, too. This is the thing. We could spend, spend hours talking about debunking all the fake science out there, but genetics has very little, if anything, to do with anything. All children are born. Absolutely. But with that said, really, the only two factors are environment and opportunity. The environment they’re born in, meaning it’s safe or they, they’re, you know, there’s, there’s a park, you know, nearby, or a big room, or not.

Loud noises and opportunities, which comes back full circle. Taking the library, you know, things that don’t need to cost you, you know, you can’t get them. You can’t travel to England. Travel to England while watching a cool documentary or some cool British movies or reading a great British book or spending an hour with them, listening to British music while you’re looking at really cool pictures all around London. There’s stuff you can do to open up that world to them. Most people, most kids don’t know where North Dakota is or Oklahoma, you know, and these books are taking them around the world, giving them maps.

So anyway. Exactly. I absolutely love it. And for the audience, Chad’s agreed. We’re going to do, every month or six weeks, we’re going to do a series on this with the Brickfield series and go into current things going on in the world and what, you know, parents and everybody can do to leverage some tools and resources as well as continue to talk about these incredibly compelling stories of our time. It was amazing. Chad, it’s an honor. And everybody, thank you very much for watching. We’ll see you next. God bless everyone. Sam, thanks for joining us on the program.
