    That sounds like a must read. Better yet, it sounds like a movie or TV show too. Thank you for writing that book

    Leila Mottley, your name announced put a smile on my 1 week old child every time I said it. Kinda cute, but really creepy cause he was sleeping, and opened he’s eyes a little bit as if he was in love

    Trevor introduced us to the best stories that other interviewers won’t touch. He let’s us meet the best from around the world. His research and questions of the guests are top notch.
