CTP (S4ENovSpecial1) Leap Before You Look
We sit down with Chuck Mobley to trace the unlikely chain of risks that takes him from a broke newcomer sleeping on a Cayman beach to a family man, business owner and author. We laugh through the parade-float origin story with his wife, then get practical about service, grit and trusting God when the plan is not clear.
• moving from Whittier, California to a tiny town in East Texas and growing up as a troublemaker
• arriving in the Cayman Islands with $100 and reframing hardship as perspective
• jumping onto a Pirates Week parade float to meet his future wife
• courting then vs now and why boldness can still be grounded
• getting fired after pushing for fair working conditions and turning that moment into a new company
• building a reputation through great service and word of mouth
• writing Leap Before You Look and the theme of trusting God before everything feels safe
• family travel and learning horses later in life including a Mongolia trip
• where to find chuckmobly.com and the book on Amazon plus audiobook platforms

00:00Hello, welcome to another episode of Perstitutionalist Podcast.
00:06I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard.
00:09That's L-E-N-A-R-D.
00:12It looks French.
00:13It's not.
00:14It's Leonard without an O.
00:17Thank you for tuning in, as Graham Norton used to say, on his show.
00:24Let's get on with the show!
00:25Hello!
00:28Joining me today is Charles Mobley.
00:33Not Charles Barkley.
00:36Both Charles, both N and Ali, but this is a Charles Mobley.
00:42So, I can't help but play with names.
00:47Welcome to the show, Charles.
00:50Thank you, Joseph.
00:51I actually go by Chuck.
00:53Oh, okay.
00:54I couldn't spell Charles until I was in high school, so...
00:59All right, Chuck.
01:01Well, welcome to the show.
01:03Glad to have you here.
01:04First things first, where were you born and raised?
01:09And where are...
01:10I know you're in the Cayman Islands now, but where are you now?
01:13Significant places you may have been in between, that sort of thing.
01:17Joseph, I was actually born in Whittier, California.
01:23In fact, I was born in the same...
01:25So, that means you're a really witty guy?
01:29Ba-dum-bum!
01:31I was born in the same hospital as Richard Nixon.
01:35Oh, interesting.
01:37Yeah, but that's where our similarities end, unless...
01:40Unless he spent a childhood getting in trouble as well.
01:45So, when I was born in the Los Angeles area, Whittier, California, and just before my seventh
01:53birthday, we went from millions of people in skyscrapers in Los Angeles to a little town
02:01in East Texas called Pine Forest.
02:04250 people.
02:05So, I was there three days, and I burnt the entire forest down.
02:10And then I think I turned seven two days later.
02:16And you landed up in the Cayman Islands then.
02:19I did, yeah.
02:20Somehow, someway.
02:22Well, the thing that stands out the most...
02:25And I see in your profile pic, you're on a horse, so you ride horses.
02:31We'll probably touch...
02:33Let me see that in that picture.
02:37Okay, I see some scribbles on it.
02:39I'm just glad you didn't put a mustache in.
02:41Oh, yeah!
02:43No, I usually make a few notes on my sheet, but...
02:49I usually don't mess with the profile pic that's there.
02:53But the part that stood out to me the most, that I can't wait, I gotta touch on first.
03:00Because this sounds really unique.
03:02Like, stop the parade to meet his wife.
03:09You want to know about that?
03:11That stands out on the page.
03:13It's like, okay, I gotta know more about that.
03:17Okay.
03:18As a man, and probably...
03:20I don't know about your case, but probably most of your listeners, we up-married.
03:27We married more than...
03:29We got more than what we had to offer.
03:32Married up, yeah.
03:34I had been in the Cayman.
03:36I arrived here in August of 1984 with $100 in my pocket.
03:41I don't know if you read.
03:43I was homeless for a few weeks, or a week, because I just didn't come prepared.
03:50I didn't...
03:50That's all I had.
03:51I had $100.
03:52Had a job and a hotel voucher for a few days.
03:54When that ran out, so did my luck.
03:58And I ended up sleeping on the beach, which I call it...
04:01I think sleeping on the beach, I was feeling sorry for myself.
04:06And God kind of nudged me and said, son, you're not homeless.
04:10You're camping on the most beautiful beach in the world.
04:12Two months later, I wasn't homeless.
04:15I had a little apartment on the sea, on the ocean.
04:18Love and life.
04:19I went to...
04:20We have a festival every year called Pirate's Week.
04:24And so in Pirate's Week, they have a lot of floats.
04:27A lot of the local company will do these floats.
04:29Well, Hawaiian Tropic, the suntan lotion company, had a contest called the Miss Hawaiian Tropic
04:35Contest.
04:37And they had a float with all their lovely ladies.
04:39They had some models from the U.S. flown in.
04:41And then some of the local girls that were in the contest, Miss Hawaiian Tropics.
04:46I see this float going by, and it's all these girls in bikinis.
04:51And I see one girl in the middle that's prettier than all of them.
04:54But she has on short pants.
04:55She has on a blouse.
04:57And she just looked out of place, but she stood out.
05:01She was definitely the prettiest one on the float.
05:04I thought, wow, who is that?
05:06I was just thinking, I have to meet her.
05:09And then I don't know if you ever have these conversations with yourself.
05:13Meet her?
05:14She's way too good for you.
05:16And I'm thinking, heaven, she doesn't know that.
05:19And I had this conversation, like arguing with myself.
05:22And then it's like, well, what are you going to do?
05:25It's the middle of a parade.
05:26She's on a float going by.
05:28What are you going to do?
05:29There's thousands of people lining in the road.
05:32And everybody's looking at her.
05:33Everybody's admiring her.
05:34And I says, you know what?
05:35I'm going to meet her.
05:36I ran behind the float.
05:37I jumped up on it.
05:38I met her.
05:38And two and a half years later, I married her.
05:42And so we've been married.
05:46So what you're saying is there was insufficient security.
05:51Exactly.
05:52Yeah.
05:55That you were allowed to get that close to the float talent.
06:01There's two things with that.
06:03This was back in 1984 when security was less of an issue.
06:07And I'm in the Cayman Islands.
06:09And we're very laid back.
06:12I've gone to the grocery store here not so much recently.
06:16But we had some guests, Joseph, that were coming from Youth with a Mission from, I think it was Colorado.
06:23And they were coming to our house the next day for lunch.
06:29And there was a group of about 12 of them.
06:31Well, everything is closed here on Sundays.
06:35So this is about 11 o'clock at night when we remember that we have guests coming.
06:40So we're driving across.
06:41The grocery store is closed.
06:43We go up, knock on the door.
06:45They come to the door.
06:46And we explain the situation.
06:48They said, oh, well, come on in.
06:49So we did all our shopping.
06:51And then when it came time to pay, they said, oh, the cash register is all closed.
06:55Just come back on Monday and pay us.
06:57So that's how the Cayman Islands were back in the day.
07:01So security was lax.
07:03Nobody even acted like it was out of the ordinary.
07:06I stayed on that float the whole parade.
07:08I waved like the, as if I were part of it.
07:11Like you were part of the group.
07:13Yeah.
07:14And I ended up finishing the whole parade on that float and ended up having to walk about.
07:20Wow.
07:20It must have been four miles back to my car, but it was totally worth it.
07:23Like I said, in 1987, we got married.
07:26So obviously you managed to get her number and whatnot.
07:34And so how long, two and a half years, how long did you date before you proposed then?
07:43We dated, well, I didn't really get the time of date from her for a while because she's wondering about
07:49what kind of man, you know, in front of thousands of people runs behind her.
07:54This is a weirdo.
07:55Yeah.
07:55This is a stalker.
07:58I'm that guy.
08:00So it took a lot of effort, a lot of teddy bears on her windshield and candies on her doorstep
08:08and different things.
08:10So you literally were a stalker, almost.
08:13I call it courting or wooing.
08:17I was wooing her.
08:18Times are different now.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Today that would be stalking.
08:22But back then, it was, yeah, a lot more, I don't know what word to use, but yeah, I mean,
08:31today.
08:31It's called guerrilla romance.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Today with the paranoia and indeed the sheer number of not just, you know, I joke with you about being
08:45a weirdo, but I mean, literally the people who was mentally unstable out there.
08:53You try something like that today, you might wind up with a restraining order.
09:01That's true.
09:03That's true.
09:03But this was, this was a good, it was a good, good time to do it, a good place to
09:07do it.
09:08And, and we're still married today, 39 years, four kids later, all grown up in the Cayman Islands.
09:13We, we even have grandkids together now.
09:15So we both take our kids.
09:16What do the kids think about this odd story how mom and dad met?
09:24No, man, they, they, they know me by now.
09:27They're, they're like, um, that's one of the most tame things I've done.
09:33So.
09:33Oh, okay.
09:36Well.
09:36That's normal for them.
09:40Well, yeah, we kind of took the whole bio for you.
09:45I may as well read it.
09:46I, my audience knows I use pod match to, uh, connect with potential guests.
09:53And that's where we connected was through pod match.
09:57And it says, and you touched on this a little bit, a Texas boy who came to the Cayman Islands
10:03with a hundred dollars, became homeless on the beach, got fired.
10:08We'll have to get into that.
10:10Traveled the globe.
10:11We'll have to cover that a bit.
10:13Stopped afraid to meet his wife.
10:15We covered that and wrote a bestselling book.
10:18Although it's a typo here.
10:21It says wrote a beak selling book.
10:24Do you, you, you sell vegetables?
10:31I didn't know that on, that's on my profile.
10:34That's not on my profile.
10:35Yes, it is.
10:37I just now noticed it.
10:39Wrote a beak selling book about it.
10:45You'll need to correct that typo.
10:47Obviously.
10:49I'm not the smartest guy in the room.
10:52Hey, type typos.
10:54Hey, as, as guys.
10:56I, who just dropped my 13th book.
10:58I know typos happen.
11:01Oh, yeah.
11:0213 books.
11:03Yes.
11:04Yes.
11:04I'm a rookie, man.
11:05This is my one and only.
11:07So let's back up.
11:09We discussed the Texas boy Cayman Islands, hundred dollars, become homeless.
11:14The got fired part.
11:16Where is that play?
11:17And take it.
11:19Your silver lining is it.
11:21They did you a favor.
11:23It sounds like.
11:24They actually did.
11:26So, so what happened?
11:28I came to Cayman for on a five month contract to work with a local contractor.
11:34I do air conditioning work.
11:35I'm an air conditioning technician and went to trade school.
11:38So in Beaumont, Texas.
11:42So when I first arrived, I didn't have a vehicle.
11:46And after about three months, they gave me this old, old station wagon that when you get about 22, 23
11:55miles an hour, we just start shaking like that.
12:00And I refused to take my future wife in it.
12:03Once we met and we started to date, she had, she's very good with money.
12:08She was young.
12:09She was 21.
12:10And I had just turned 23 and she saved up all her money, bought an apartment and was renting it
12:16out.
12:17And somebody's paying her mortgage.
12:18And she bought a brand new black and gold Mustang.
12:24And she wasn't making that much money.
12:25She just, she just lived at home and she kept everything.
12:28And I'm one of those that if I have $25 in my pocket, I have to spend it.
12:33I have to spend it.
12:35And she is just like a big saver.
12:38So, so we're very much opposites in that.
12:41Anyhow, my, my car eventually broke down and my company car and about, and I was using that personally.
12:49So I bought myself a personal car and the company just thought, well, he can just use that to run
12:57service calls.
12:58And it's a little sports car, a little red Nissan Pulsar.
13:02And I remember those.
13:05So, I mean, it was really cool to drive, had a sunroof and everything, but it just wasn't adequate for
13:11a service vehicle.
13:12And I was only getting about $50 a month to cover gasoline, insurance, my car note.
13:18So I'm subsidizing this business with, with my personal car.
13:22Something happened where I had to put it in the shop a couple of years later.
13:26And I had to rent a car.
13:28And I'm thinking, this is ludicrous.
13:29I'm renting a car to run service calls for this guy's business.
13:34So I got with the, the other technicians and I said, we need, guys, we need to do something about
13:39this.
13:39So we told the owner of the company, you know, we need service vehicles.
13:43You know, your company should have service vehicles and where we can carry equipment, carry parts.
13:48And it says, oh, I'll think about that.
13:50And we gave him about six or seven months and we gave him a deadline.
13:54And when that deadline came, we went in and we said, well, what's, I don't see any trucks in the
13:59parking lot.
14:00But, um, and we either wanted him to buy his own trucks or at least give us adequate allowance to
14:08use our vehicles.
14:09$50 a month wasn't anything.
14:11So we wanted like $200 a month.
14:12And he said, nah, we're not going to do that.
14:16We're just going to keep things the way they are.
14:17And I said, well, we're willing to work, but, um, we're, our vehicles are going to stay in the parking
14:23lot.
14:23And he says, well, I guess I don't have any technicians.
14:26You're all fired.
14:29Which he kind of chopped off his nose to spite his face in a way too.
14:35He did actually, which was ludicrous to me.
14:38We went back to my, well, my wife's apartment.
14:41I was married by this time.
14:43And, um, the same little one that she bought when she was 20, 21, and we're sitting there having coffee
14:49and wondering, what is, what do we do?
14:52I, I had, I never had, to be honest, I would love to tell people, man, from the time I
14:56was a kid, I wanted to own my own business, but I wanted to play baseball.
15:01I never had a plan B.
15:02I was just, I was going to be a major league baseball player.
15:05That was it.
15:06Um, there was no doubt in my mind.
15:08Um, did the only doubt came with the major league teams.
15:11Nobody signed me.
15:12So, um.
15:13Yeah.
15:13Yeah.
15:14Well, I don't mean to, uh, uh, pile on, but you kind of struck out there.
15:22Right.
15:22Huh?
15:22But I'm, yeah, I couldn't, couldn't pass the word, boy.
15:27I'm sorry.
15:28Go on.
15:28My ADHD OCD brain just.
15:31That hurts, man.
15:33That hurts.
15:33I can't believe you did that.
15:36Yeah.
15:36That was the problem.
15:37Joseph, I was a great fielder.
15:39I mean, I was, you see these, um,
15:41the team Savannah banana.
15:44Oh yeah.
15:44Like those guys.
15:45I could actually do flips and catch the ball.
15:47I could catch a fly ball behind my back like that.
15:50Catch the ground balls between my legs.
15:52Had a great arm.
15:53You were ahead of your time.
15:55I was, I was, I was, and I was, I was fielding at probably a major and throwing at a
15:59major
15:59league level.
16:00I just, as Tommy Lasorda quoted one time, I was the guy that if you threw me out of a
16:06boat, I couldn't hit water.
16:07So, um, and I'm sure you would never be a pinch hitter.
16:16You might be a pinch fielder, but those generally aren't the people who make a team.
16:24Do you want to hear, you want to hear something sad?
16:26I was a shortstop and they used to pinch hit.
16:30They let the pitcher hit and they pinched.
16:31They, they, they had a designated hitter for me.
16:35So the pitcher hit and they pinched for me.
16:38Usually the pitcher is the worst hitter on a team.
16:42Yeah.
16:43Yeah.
16:43So, Hey, to thine self be true.
16:46Know thyself.
16:48You're able to self reflect.
16:50You know who you are, who you were.
16:53And it just, just wasn't meant to be.
16:57Yeah.
16:58And I imagine there's a lot of listeners that are in that same position.
17:01They were good athletes, but we weren't quite as good as what we thought.
17:05I'm sure I'm not alone in the fact that I wanted to play.
17:08You know, major league baseball.
17:10I wanted to be a professional hockey player.
17:13And yeah, my career ended at the end of high school.
17:15So, yeah.
17:18So, so anyway, we got fired and we're sitting in this little apartment drinking some tepid coffee.
17:24My phone rings.
17:26And this is back in the time when we had phones in our homes, actually.
17:30I pick up the phone and it's one of the condos that I had serviced.
17:33And they said, Chuck, what's going on?
17:35And I said, what do you mean?
17:36And she says, well, we called, I'm not going to say the name of the company, but we called
17:40and they, and they said, they don't have any technicians.
17:43And I said, really?
17:45I said, well, you, you having a problem?
17:47And she says, yeah, I have two air conditioners down at our condominium complex.
17:53And I looked and in front of me are three unemployed technicians plus myself.
17:58And, and I said, okay, I can, I can help you out.
18:04And that's how our business started.
18:06And it, it just went little by little.
18:09Right place at the right time.
18:11Yeah.
18:13But like I said, I would love to say that I had, um, pre-planned all this, but all this
18:17just happened today.
18:19Well, as the saying go, God, one door closes and God opens a window for you to jump through.
18:25I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't even, I mean, it had to have been God because I couldn't
18:31even imagine, you know, having my own company.
18:33In fact, it was, I ended up buying my partners out because they, we were, we struggled financially
18:39for, for the first year.
18:41You know, we, we paid each other a hundred, $150 each.
18:48And because my wife was working, I could get by on that, but the other guys couldn't.
18:53So we ended up buying them out.
18:55And about two years later, I'm thinking, wow, I can make a living doing this.
19:01Because I had no, I had no idea.
19:04I was so naive, so, um, so inexperienced and, um, excuse me.
19:13And that's what ended up happening.
19:15Happening.
19:16Okay.
19:17Well, let's pivot to this beat selling book of yours.
19:22What is the title of the beat selling?
19:25I'm not going to let that go.
19:27I'm going to keep joking about it.
19:31For the record, for those viewing a behind the scenes video, you could see him holding
19:36it up, but for the benefit of the audio and the transcript, what is the title?
19:42It's called leap before you look, but God.
19:47I like that.
19:49Yeah.
19:49I'll play on the look before you leap.
19:51Yep.
19:52Yeah.
19:53Leap, leap and trust in God.
19:57So I, I leaped on a plane, came to the Cayman Islands with a hundred dollars in my pocket.
20:02I didn't know a soul.
20:04Um, I leaped onto that float and ended up, you know, with somebody I never, you know,
20:12I always wanted to marry Pocahontas, Joseph.
20:14Oh.
20:16Growing up.
20:17Um, you had, you had your own Disney fantasy in your head.
20:22Yes.
20:23Yeah.
20:24And, um, I believe that I married a Caribbean Pocahontas.
20:28I mean, she's as beautiful as Pocahontas.
20:30And, um, and then I ended up leaping into a business that, that today we have, oh, I want
20:39to say 45 employees and, um, about 20, 25 trucks on the road.
20:50We do air conditioning.
20:51We do appliances.
20:52We do plumbing.
20:54Um, we're the top brand in the Cayman Islands.
20:57We have over 3,500 five-star reviews.
21:01And, um, I've been able to retire from the company and my son and, um, my youngest daughter
21:07have taken over.
21:09So I just feel incredibly blessed.
21:12I'm, I can look out my window right here and I'm looking at the Caribbean Sea.
21:19Joseph, sometimes I think somebody's gonna come and knock on my door and say, dude, there's
21:24been a mistake.
21:25This life wasn't.
21:27Hello, wake up.
21:28Yeah.
21:29This has been a dream.
21:30Now you gotta get up and do something for real, right?
21:35Yeah.
21:36And so, and I say that in, in, in, in all honesty, it just feels like, um, this little
21:42kid, I was a troublemaking kid.
21:44I mean, I was in trouble all my school days.
21:47I was called no account brat.
21:49Um, never going to amount to anything.
21:52And, um, it's just incredible what the, the, the, the path that God has, has, has led me
22:00down and I give all the glory to God, um, because he's been very good to me.
22:04But when God presented the opportunity, you didn't sit there whining, moaning, moaning, and complaining.
22:13You were willing to pull up your bootstraps and get out and take advantage of the opportunity
22:21placed in front of you.
22:23Mm-hmm.
22:23You didn't expect it handed to you.
22:27Right.
22:27Exactly.
22:28Yeah.
22:28I didn't expect it handed to me.
22:30I, nor did I really expect that I could achieve it.
22:34But I think one thing that was in my favor on most of these things, um, is that I was
22:40young enough and stupid enough.
22:42I didn't know the difference.
22:44I, I just, I did not know the difference.
22:46I thought, okay, I don't have a job.
22:48Um, here's an opportunity to go fix a couple of air conditioners.
22:52And, and I just gave great, one thing I did learn from my parents is to give great service.
22:59And I mean, I would do, I would jump through flaming hoops for my customers.
23:05And in the end.
23:06And word of mouth will always reward of the reward that.
23:11What comes to mind is you didn't have the can do attitude.
23:16You had is equally potentially, or maybe even more important, a will try and a won't give
23:26up attitude.
23:27Yes.
23:28Mm-hmm.
23:29Yeah.
23:30I think I was more tenacious than, than I was intelligent or, or smart, you know, tenacity.
23:40Yeah.
23:41There's a good word for it.
23:43Yeah.
23:43Yep.
23:44Uh, that word didn't come to my mind, but yes, that, that is fitting.
23:49Absolutely.
23:50I agree with that.
23:51So where does the horse come?
23:55Let me hold up the picture.
23:57Where does the horse come in and all this?
24:00Even though I see.
24:02It's time to horse around now.
24:04Okay.
24:06Um, even though I, I grew up in Texas, I wasn't really a horse person.
24:11Um, I, I don't know that I had been on, I had probably been on a horse.
24:15Um, I'd never been on my sister road show ponies for a while.
24:22So, but I was too busy playing hockey to ever really, I only met the horse once.
24:30I, you know, it's a major regret of mine that I wasn't able to be there for my sister and
24:37be around that.
24:38Cause I love horses and I missed out on all that great opportunity, but I'm sorry.
24:44Go on.
24:45Um, no, do you know what you missed out on?
24:47If you combine those two, you know what you come up with, right?
24:51Oh, I was a goaltender though.
24:55So no, that doesn't work, but I knew where your mind was going.
25:02Yeah.
25:02Okay.
25:05All right.
25:06So the horse, so you got into horses later than my daughter, my daughter did.
25:11Um, from the time she was about six, we, we took her to a little place and there was a
25:17little Shetland, um, Shetland pony at this horse place.
25:21And we just took her to, um, the kids, we took them to see this pony and give it carrots
25:26and feed it apples as Billy, the pony.
25:29And when she got to get on him and ride him a little bit, she fell in love.
25:33So almost all of our vacations, we were spent going to Costa Rica.
25:39Uh, we, we went to Panama, we went to Colorado, we went to Wyoming.
25:43It was riding, it was always dude ranches and, and had something to do with horses.
25:49So we all started riding horses then.
25:52So this was actually on a new years, a few years back in, in Cayman, we had a horse ride
25:58on the beach.
25:58So my wife and I and all the kids, um, and some of their spouses, we all went and we
26:05actually
26:05went in the sea up to the horses, like necks pretty cool experience.
26:10Interesting.
26:11Yeah.
26:12And they, they were fine with that.
26:14They were okay with it.
26:15They weren't freaking out and you weren't freaking out.
26:20No, it was, it was fun.
26:22Um, my worst experience on a horse and my daughter's, we went to Mongolia recently and they gave us
26:29some, Mongolians are known to be really great horse, horseback riders.
26:34We were out like three days off the main road on little tracks.
26:38In fact, to get, we went to a, a Tascan reindeer herder village.
26:44And these are people that still heard reindeer for a living.
26:47It's right at the Russian border.
26:49They're very Northern part of Mongolia.
26:51And they gave us these horses that were, they were only half, half tame.
26:56I fell off twice and my daughter never fell off.
26:59She never went off.
27:00We're galloping down these Mongolian steps is beautiful.
27:04And we were galloping and we're going through sheep and the sheep are just separating like
27:09that as we gallop through them.
27:10It's, it's such a beautiful experience, but, um, that was the most unique horse, horseback
27:16riding things we've had, but I, yeah, I went off twice.
27:21We have been talking with Charles Mobley and as usual, the time has flown by.
27:28Do you have a website where people can find you or just find leap before you look through
27:34Amazon?
27:35Do you have a website?
27:37I do have a website.
27:38It's called chuckmobley.com and there's some pictures.
27:43You'll see some Mongolian pictures.
27:44There are some, there's a bunch of pictures from all over the world, Africa, China, India.
27:50Um, and you can go, you can get the book through, um, through Amazon as well.
27:54Leap before you look, but God, and the audio is available on Spotify, Barnes and Noble, um,
28:01audio books.
28:02Now trying to get it on an audible on Amazon, but that's been, um, it's been a rough experience.
28:07So, oh yeah.
28:09Well, you're right.
28:10You've got to use their virtual voice system.
28:13I've, I've been using their virtual voice to create audio books for mine.
28:18It takes a while.
28:20It's labor intensive.
28:22It's you've got to set it up.
28:25But I had somebody said it all.
28:27It's been approved and everything.
28:28I just can't get it on it.
28:29I use the third party because I'm in the Cayman Islands and for tax reasons, they can't accept
28:35my address or something, but I narrated it myself.
28:38Oh, okay.
28:40Well, that's different.
28:41Yeah.
28:42Uh, Amazon audible.
28:44Usually they want you using their virtual voice system.
28:48So if you've indeed recorded it yourself, that's a, that's a whole other process with Amazon.
28:55I don't know about that.
28:57Yeah.
28:58I even handed the mic to my, because I, it's my first one.
29:01I didn't know the rules.
29:02I didn't bother to check the rules.
29:04I, I broke all the rules.
29:06Um, I narrowed it myself.
29:07I would hand the mic to my wife and then she would give her perspective on certain things.
29:12You know, how, how she felt about this.
29:14So you kind of went, went off script in a way several times that that that's great.
29:20That's wonderful.
29:21The audible book, audio book is a whole totally different experience in a way.
29:28Then that's great.
29:29That's wonderful.
29:31And you can market it that way.
29:33So hopefully you're sell, you can then sell books and audio versions as two separate experiences.
29:42Yeah.
29:45All right.
29:45Well, thanks, Chuck.
29:47I, I wish you'd have known you went by Chuck at the beginning.
29:51I could have do, did the usual, what up Chuck thing, right?
29:59Yeah.
29:59Maybe that's what I didn't tell you.
30:00Yeah.
30:01Yeah.
30:01For the benefit of the transcript, we're laughing.
30:04We're just having a little fun.
30:06We're having a little fun.
30:08Uh, uh, thank you for stopping by.

30:13I really appreciate it.
30:14God bless all you, all you out there listening.
30:17Um, and if you have a book inside you, write it because I didn't have experience.
30:21So you guys can, um, feel free to write your book.
30:24Rolling across my screen right now is my how to write a book and get it published.
30:28I wrote that for that very reason.
30:31Indeed.
30:32Most people have a book in them.
30:34They just don't know how and where to start.
30:38So I wrote how now it's rolling on the other side of the screen.
30:42How to write a book and get it published in tips and techniques.
30:46Uh, but now that you're already a beat selling author, you don't need it.
30:54Gotta get one last party shot in there.
30:57Take care, Chuck.
30:58Have a good one.
30:59Yeah, man.
30:59Put it there.
31:03All right.
31:04Thanks, Joseph.
31:04I appreciate it.
31:17In the dust of my own mess, you still call my name, hands shaking, heart unsteady.
31:28You don't look away.
31:31You stand in the middle of it all, closer than my fear.
31:38I was lost in the crowd.
31:41Then you drew me near.
31:45And every walk falls down when you step into the room.
31:51Every lie goes quiet when I hear you move.
31:57My soul leans in.

35:35Does God still speak today?
35:41He is in everything, in every way.
35:49In the growing trees.
35:52In every bird that chirps, dewdrops glistening, whispering in every breeze.
36:05Those all His works.
36:09Real question is, are you listening?
36:18Does God still speak today?
36:24I hear it in the trees, in every bird that chirps, in the things you let me see.
36:35Dewdrops glistening on the leaves at dawn.
36:41Those are His works to me all day long.
36:48When I look and listen, you are never found.
36:56Every little living thing says who you are.
37:02He is in everything.
37:05He is in everything.
37:10He is in every way.
37:13He is in every way.
37:17In every breeze that moves.
37:21In every heart that wakes.
37:25He is in everything.
37:28He is in everything.
37:32He is in everything.
37:33In the growing trees.
37:35In the line of the sky.
37:37In the tiny sparrow cutting through the light.
37:41What I thought was small turns and speak so loud
37:45You are here around me now
37:47You are here right now
37:49When I look and listen
37:51You are never far

38:38The holy and the simple
38:42The wonder and the leaf
