The ‘i’ Problem Theory: Solve your problems by Anthony Robinski https://authorreputationpress.com/bookstore/the-i-problem-theory-solve-your-problems/ Robinskibooks.com The I Problem T...heory starts from a simple claim: if you can precisely describe how you stand in relation to a problem, you can deliberately change that relationship. The book expresses this with a single equation, The I Problem Theory. Rather than offering vague motivation, the book shows how to increase certain factors by using better habits, better information, and better use of other people’s expertise-while recognizing things that cannot be changed but used to your advantage. About the Author Author, Anthony James Robinski, is a Navy veteran from the Dallas, Texas, area. He joined the Navy at 19, serving 12 years in active services until transitioning to the Navy Reserve. During service, he worked with cutting-edge technology on submarines and taught dance around the world. The time spent in the service allowed him to live in the Imagination of his predecessors. The many stories he heard from his fellow sailors and their outlandish adventures inspired him to share his own using the same practical techniques. He sent out on his adventure to write and tell his own stories. No longer on active duty, Anthony lives his dream of working with technology and taking a plunge into his greatest passion, writing. His writing contains the same principles and lessons learned from his time visiting countries worldwide.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Now, you are a Navy veteran from the Dallas, Texas area. You joined the Navy in 19, serving 12 years in active services until transitioning to the Navy Reserve. During service, you work with cutting-edge technology on submarines and taught. dance around the world. The time spent, now was that part of the cutting edge technology on the submarine? Just kidding. The dance part, right? Anyway, the time spent in the service allowed him to live in the imagination of his predecessors.
Starting point is 00:02:47 In many stories, he heard from his fellow sailors in the outlandish adventures, inspiring to share his own, using the same practical techniques. He sent out on his adventure to write and tell his own stories. No longer on active duty, he lives, dream of working with technology, taking a plunge into his greatest passion writing. His writing contains the same principles and lessons he learned during his time visiting countries worldwide. Again, James, wonderful resume there. And thank you for coming. No problem. I'm excited to be here.
Starting point is 00:03:16 We're excited to have you. And give us your, we did that, and give us the 30,000 over you. What's inside this book? The eye problem theory is, it's a book about the ability to solve your problems. What it does is it helps to objectify situations or things you would consider to be a problem and it gives you a framework on how to go about solving those problems by taking care of, I guess the need for, I got to fix this, I have to fix this. Ah. So the I problem theory. Is there something called the eye problem? Is there an example of that, of how that works? Actually, no, this problem theory is an original idea of mine that I had created. created. So how would you describe it to people that want to get familiar with that? It's pretty simple. It's a
Starting point is 00:04:04 mathematical equation that you can use to solve your problems by essentially putting in the situation, the appropriate integers. It kind of gives you a theoretical way of how to deal with your problems and how to go about overcoming them. So we're using math and science and theory sort of things? Yes. So I would say the universal language of all that is and the universe would be mathematics. no matter what language you speak or where you come from, even the world around us from cell phones to computers to buildings is built in mathematics. So we're all very familiar and understanding that. And the reason why it's a theory is it's a principle-based idea,
Starting point is 00:04:42 which means you can apply it to a lot of different things or situations. So it's not case-dependent. Now, our military puts forth some of the most amazing leaders and leadership. All the branches seem to have their own kind of variation flavor, but it's all leadership when it comes down to it. And as we've seen in Ukraine with the Russian army, the hierarchy and the leadership and the values and the belief systems, the American military has compared to some of these other countries.
Starting point is 00:05:09 You can see why their militaries are complete meat grinder failures. We saw the Russians go from what was accepted as maybe the second best army in the world to the second best army in Ukraine. Stoll that from the State Department. But you see how I never really understood, the difference in hierarchy in armies like theirs as compared to ours and, of course, how leadership can be done up and down the chain. So you guys learn a lot in our military and are really excel at leadership.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I would say I've been very privileged and gifted to who have had amazing leaders throughout my entire military campaign against this life. And from their leadership, I started noticing some core principles and how things are done. and I found that's what's led to a lot of my personal success, and I think success for our military. Now, how does this math work? Because I go on Twitter and over there it's two plus two equals stupid. No, we like to keep doing it. So the way the math works is you start off with the X integer, which is a representation of inheritance, the things we cannot control, the things that are essentially what currently is. And then from there, you're able to,
Starting point is 00:06:22 the next integer would be I, which is the individual. So you as you are, what you know, and what you can do. But the cool thing about the problem is, is the information and other people. That is how you leverage information and other people to improve yourself. So let's say, for example, you encounter an issue that you cannot overcome by yourself by gaining more information and talking to other people. It leads you to be able to overcome that problem, which is why it's multiplication, Essentially, multiplication is leveraged or leveraged information or leveraged compared to addition.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Ah. It's something where math is math is math. It's kind of science. Now, evidently, one of the things is I have to understand the root cause of what the problem is. Is this something where I have to take accountability or something? What kind of Jimmy River is this, man? What's the idea is the problem does help you to take accountability without necessarily. having to admit that to yourself because what it does it lays out what is and in doing so you
Starting point is 00:07:27 are automatically taking accountability for yourself so it gives you the premise of being able to have a starting point or a foothold and as you begin to explore and go through what your different inheritances are things you've been given the kind of person you are where you grew up how much money started off with versus the people you know people you may not know and the information that's currently available that's where it begins to give you an opportunity to do something think about it without necessarily blaming yourself or blaming not what you know and exploring and attempting to put in those integers values for those variables we do not know that in a sense is what allows you to take personal accountability for yourself without maybe necessarily having to
Starting point is 00:08:08 consciously think about it well the a lot of people need to take accountability you stay so that's one of the biggest problems is people are maybe more about the you problem they're always they're always concerned about them this way because that person did that and this person did that and I didn't have anything to do with it. I just sat here and was victimized. There's a lot of victimized victim culture in our world today. Yeah. And so you have the equation. There's the, I see it here, the inheritance, which is the X, the individual, which is the I, the N is information. O is for others and Y for total strength. Now I flunked these sort of integer integers and equations and algebra. I flunked them bad. This is going to be hard for me. If I were,
Starting point is 00:08:51 I've got a rudimentary brain that I can barely get two plus two equals four down. Yeah. The good news about the problem is when you, if you purchase the book, it explains what each individual character is and how to apply it to your life. Right. Yeah. The core thing to remember about the problem is,
Starting point is 00:09:08 is you, the individual. That's the thing you have the most control or influence over. So that's, that's what can affect everything else. The reason why X is bigger and bold is because you cannot, you can't control that. the things you're given, those are just plain hard facts. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:09:25 But information, that's something you can acquire yourself, but you yourself as the individual have to do that. And in the back of the book, I actually have it set up to where you can write down, okay, here is what I can do. And then you write down, here's the information I know, and then these are the people that I know. And then how can I leverage that to overcome the problem that I have? Because if it's a problem, it's probably more than likely bugging you.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And that becomes the inspiration to do something about. it. Yeah. And so you can grow out of it, regardless of what your ex-inheritance is, correct then? You can learn more, you can read more. I heard something great the other day. It was a great comment one of the authors brought on the show. What was it? You are what you, you become what you read. I think this is the thing. And you can apply it to, I think there's a different variation of it. So we become the books that we read. But you're right. Learning, growing, changing, you can grow up. And you can do one or two things. You can either stay stuck where you're at or you can grow and expand your mind.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I grew up poor. I grew up, I didn't go to college. I had a Pell Grant. At one point, it was gifted to me. And it was set up to go to college. I started my first company. And that was the end of that. But I never went to college.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Now, I did educate myself. Some people that were in my relatives were like, I could be like, Chris, not go to college and succeed. And it's a special case. I think everyone knows that. This is the show. But no, what I did was I educated myself with my own MBA. And it was an MBA where I chose what I wanted to learn as to where I wanted to go. And so I learned how to be a CEO and what would I would deal with at a level was having hundreds or thousands of employees.
Starting point is 00:11:06 And I learned all that stuff. I gave myself my own MBA. Even though I started my own companies, I was reading Harvard Business Review quarterly and just learning everything I could about business, about how to run it. I was learned about U.S. history and learned that in high school. But I basically educated my way out of it. So even most people you see that don't go to college, they're really educated in what they're doing. I think even Mark Zuckerberg is really good at coding. I don't manipulate people for.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Yeah. Yeah. And so they can read the book. They can understand how to do their support their lives and excel in what they do. What are some maybe things we should tease out to people about you that I haven't asked about the book? Tees out about me. The book or you either. I think the thing I would say is when I first discovered the problem, I was surprised when I came up with it myself.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And then I spent the next roughly eight years trying to apply the same principle every day. And I find when you look at all the motivational speakers, the people that make a living doing that, they're essentially a living example. Even you are a living example of because you leverage the information. and then now you're leveraging other people to overcome, let's say the issue of, okay, I don't have a degree. But because of the information I know, the people that I learned from, and my own capability as an individual, you've been able to succeed in that endeavor. That's true. I learn, I swear to God, I learn more sometimes from our guests than our audience does, because I get to kind of sit front row and ask the questions that I want to ask because I'm curious. I'm like, hey, what about this?
Starting point is 00:12:42 And I learn. And it's a lot of fun. And hopefully our audience does too there. Me too. So let's talk about the book series you have. Now you've also written a book series, and it's called the My Superpower Series. Talk to us about what you've got to have going on there. So interesting enough about that book series, it originally started off as a question that eventually turned into a book,
Starting point is 00:13:07 which became a prequel to one of the future books actually going to publish maybe the next five to years once my name kind of gets out there and I've had a lot more success as an author. But the premise behind the book was I had asked some friends of mine, if you could have a superpower, what would it be? And then they said basic questions like, I wish I had super strength. I wish I could be invisible. I wish I could heal people. I wish I had the power, the control win. So my question to you, Chris, is if you could have a superpower, what would it be? Eternal life. So one thing I found is I may regret that.
Starting point is 00:13:45 It's okay. So when I think I found there's two key points to people's initial response. One, it's to prove a point that when given an opportunity, without an opportunity to think about something, most people will naturally trap themselves in a box. And from that box, the thing that they wish to have the immediate thing that they want is probably the one thing that deep down they feel that they're lacking or is like a deep feet. year. So if you were to ask me, Anthony, if you could have a superpower, what would it be? Mine would be the ability to have any kind of ability, whatever I want without reservation. Ah, that's pretty smart right there. So why would I limit myself? Right. But then you find that out, you're like, oh, I want to change my answers. Sometimes in life, you can't, you can't go backwards.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Hardest like my choice. But that becomes the premises of most people lives. And so I decided, Okay, not that your wish is bad, but at the same time, why would you box yourself in? So I took that and then I expounded upon it. So one individual's, her name is Ithaca, a character, and the book, her ability, essentially was I want to control time. That's rudimentary. So I decided instead of that, what if your ability to perceive things was so powerful you could affect the world around you?
Starting point is 00:15:00 For example, if she perceived something to be slower, it will be slower. If she perceives time to be faster, time will be faster. So in a sense, human beings technically possess that ability, hence the expression, time seems to fly when you're having fun and it seems to slow down when you're bored.
Starting point is 00:15:17 But if you practice that, if you train that, then what if I wanted something to go faster, I'll just pretend I'm having fun, time goes slow. I really want to enjoy this moment. Okay, this is really boring, even though I'm really enjoying it, time slows down.
Starting point is 00:15:29 You ever see how long it takes 30 seconds to go when you watch a clock versus looking away and coming back five minutes yeah i love that i'm a big thing on the uh trying to think outside of the box and uh a lot of people are they're self-limiting you just you made a great example there show of what that was and instead of thinking about the possibilities and how big the box could be i i just i just i don't pick something that's fairly eternal life might be great but there's probably a downside to it too wait there's vampire knocking on my door let him in Anyway, I don't know what that's about, but we'll find out.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Anyway, it was doing blood donations. Okay, yeah, tell them I'm going to be with them in a minute. Dr. Acula, Dr. Acela, Chris Knox, too. I like that. Good one. Go with Dr. Acula. That's my Tinder date pickup name. Anyway, so the My Superpower series, I love that.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Obviously, you probably want to, before you choose, you want to make a decision. But a lot of people, we've all run that paradigm in our head. What if I did find that genie lamp with the, you rub the lamp? and the genie pops out and you have three wishes. I think we all kind of play that game somewhere in our life, right, in our head. And, yeah, the vision of your limits or the limits of your limits, the limits of your vision, there's what we're trying to say. The limits of your vision are bound by the limits of your vision.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So if you don't see yourself ever leaving the trailer park, then probably won't ever leave the trailer park. You've got to see outside of it. I went through times in my life where when I was, young and growing up in a cult where I was like, this is it? This is the whole thing. This is the world. They're like, yeah, this is the whole world. There was a whole world outside of that. And me finding other people outside the world that thought like I did, ironically, it was in the same place. But me finding that there were other people like me, thought like me, but they didn't support the cult. And that that was fine. There was another reality outside of the one
Starting point is 00:17:31 I was being sold as a shot. And this is a real example of how in life, sometimes we limit ourselves. Sometimes we limit ourselves by society says I should do this, so I should do that. I remember when I was young, I was, I think it was 11 or 12, and I was listening to Billy Joel. And he had several songs that were about women and relationships and divorce. And I was like, why do people have a midlife crisis? I think one of us, I think the piano man is about a bunch of people having a midlife crisis. the song. And so I was kind of
Starting point is 00:18:03 and I was like, why do people I have midlife crisis? And I was like, I don't want to have one of those. And it seems like a lot of people I figured out, they kind of live their first 20 years of their life just in lockstep with whatever in the machine as society tells them to do. What do I do? Go to school.
Starting point is 00:18:18 What do I do now? Go to college. What is the little fight club scene in the bathtub? What do I do now? Get a wife. What do I do now? Have some kids. What do I do now? And then people kind of wake up around 40s and 50s, down and they go, hey, man, I've been running someone else's game. So I love you coming up with this concept.
Starting point is 00:18:36 If it really was infinite, what better choices do you make? And once you said that, I was like, oh, yeah, there's so many, I need to expand my circle or my vision. Yeah. Yeah. So I love that. Now, you have more books coming out in this series? Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:55 So right now, there's only episode one out. Okay. Once my writing career takes off, will be publishing episode two, episode three, and episode four. And these are all prequels, yet fast forward of my major book series, which will be the purpose book series, which is already written, but I can't publish it yet because, again, it's a huge novel. And it would be pointless to publish it now. My original mentor had recommended start off with smaller book series first, get your name out there. Once your name's out there, you find a good publisher, find a good editor, then you can, make this really big book. And this is what's really going to bring in
Starting point is 00:19:32 their readers and make your career as a writer take off. So I'm just waiting to get to that. Do you have an anticipated release or just when this comes together in the future? It'll either be next year or five years from now. One of the years. Yeah. Yeah. Make it your superpower. And then, yeah. See, I'm learning from you. You're smart. I'm still working. My biggest problem is ADHD. That's a big challenge for me. is anytime something has squirrel. Wow. And I'm one of those people I can wake up and I'm going to go,
Starting point is 00:20:02 I'm going to do this one thing on the car. And then I go do that one thing. And then 20 things later, I'm like, why am I in Vegas? I was just going to go work on the car. Why am I here? That's how bad my ADHD is. I call that freedom of choice. You're not bound by it.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Oh, yeah. Freedom of choice. Hey, honey, I didn't cheat on you. It was just freedom of choice. There are consequences for it. Our actions, right? What? You didn't tell me that before I started to make these decisions. See, look at that.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I took off the reins. Look what you're doing. The truth is real. You expanded by visionary circle of what was possible to cheat. Hey, freedom comes at a price. It's going to be half of my shit, evidently, in divorce. So my superpower series, I like this. I never really sat and thought, do I have a superpower?
Starting point is 00:20:51 I know one of my superpowers is ADHD. Do you apply this in any shape or form that way, looking maybe at what are certain strengths are that we have as individuals and maybe identify how we can use them at their max for superpowers? Of course, I think the best example would be to, we'll use the human body, right? The human heart, once it starts, beats roughly 52 billion times roughly with the resting heart rate of like 55 or 60 over the course, I think 65 years, like 52 billion times. But just a regular human heart doesn't stop beating.
Starting point is 00:21:25 If it does, you're probably dead. But to think about it, your heart, once it starts going, once it starts kicking, it doesn't stop. We wake up every single day. Our bodies are constantly being attacked by bacteria. We're constantly self-regenerating. We're constantly growing. We're constantly gaining information. Our body is able to take us into the future in a sense.
Starting point is 00:21:49 What piece of technology do you know that can last 60, 70, 80, 90 years? That's true. Everything else has got. What's the thing? Apple likes to do planned obsolete obsolition planned obsolete where they built in failure to the products you have to buy the new one wait is this what's going on with my body
Starting point is 00:22:06 yes the built-in system have you been doing your maintenance that's the real question maintenance I'm supposed to change you oil on this thing I'm still running the same crap that came out of the freaking factory your factory hardware very nice very nice very nice in fact they won't evidently God doesn't do upgrades, Pat. They're just like Apple. After 12.0, they don't do upgrades anymore. Yeah, so I don't get a new one. You just stuck with, you can't even buy a software upgrade an OS. Wow. So, yeah, most of us are still run around on Vista 7. So,
Starting point is 00:22:39 but to that, but to that point, if you think about the world around us, we are literally living in somebody else's imagination. Somebody, somebody imagined this, this microphone, this computer, these walls, air condition, and they brought it to fruition. If you think about it, even engineers are essentially living the eye problem theory. I can't invent this by myself, so let me get with other engineers. Let's learn some new information and overcome this problem of being so hot indoors. Tadda, AC, right? The human's ability to imagine something and bring it into existence.
Starting point is 00:23:14 One thing I eventually I'll get into with the purpose book series is speaking of the fourth dimension. I'm a firm believer that each preceding dimension is, the ability to tap into it, right? You have one dimensional, obviously. With the second dimension, it gives you access to the first dimension. With the third dimension, it gives you access into the second dimension, which is why you can have a flat screen, but then still see depth. You can control things on a piece of paper by drawing it. And I believe the fourth dimension is the dimension that allows us to affect the third dimension. So the things we imagine in our minds gives us the ability to bring it into existence and bring it into fruition.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I love that. I'm going to start thinking of what my superpower is. Now, I know one of it is farting. I know my other superpower is after I have coffee. I have to go visit the smallest room in my home. Oh, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think I'm also, according to my girlfriend,
Starting point is 00:24:09 I'm also, my other superpower is being full of shit. I get that going for me. That's what the coffee's for. Clear is you out. Yeah, that's what I keep telling her. I keep telling her. It's gone every morning. I don't know why he's still going to play.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Consistency of P. It's almost like this is your nature or something. Anyway, I don't know what that's about. So is there an anticipation for these future books? I think I asked you that. What are you going to tackle maybe in the next book that people can look forward to? You don't have to give us the whole thing, but is there going to be an aspect of it that's aligned with the series that you're going to tackle?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Yeah, so the second book, you begin to see the components that are going to affect what's going to happen. in the purpose book series, it begins to set a premise for the sort of universe that I'm going to be building. And the interesting thing about the universe that I'm building is a lot of it is almost mirroring the principles of how our world works. It's just more of a fantastical version of a story
Starting point is 00:25:09 because I believe that every person has a story within them and the characters that I've made from the My Super Power series are built on the story of those people as individuals and characters. And then there's a couple of one-off, books at some point I'm going to publish that are not science fiction. Ah, sometimes science fiction and telling stories that are, what do they call those things, parables sort of things, and things.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's a great way for people to learn because you can kind of see through a third dimension or a third perception, someone else's perception. You can kind of stand out of your side of yourself and it gives you kind of that mirror where you go, hey, maybe, am I like that? Yeah. There's a lot of great ways people learn and stories and everything else. So you've got these two books that are out now. Was there any prior books that you'd written that we want to plug?
Starting point is 00:25:54 No, no prior books, just the eye problem theory and my two prior series. I got a poem out there somewhere. We'll see what happens with that. Oh, very good. You pull them to. How did you know when you're going to be a writer, by the way, and know that you would be, that it would work for you? So it actually happened from my best friend back in 2015.
Starting point is 00:26:14 We were out to sea, and I was telling him about a dream that I had. And this conversation went on for about six hours. And he told me, dude, I have no idea how you remembered all of that, but you need to write that down, turn into a book, and then sell it. So I was like, no, no, no, no, no. And then a year later, I was doing some work. I did a, and I was sitting in a hotel room. I was like, okay, I'm here. I got nine hours to kill.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Let me just put some pen to paper, see what I come up with. And within that nine hours, I came up with 30 pages. I mean, bear in mind, it was like one. paragraph, but pen to paper. I had a couple people read it. They said, this could be good, but it's like word vomit. So then that's when I learned that writing is amazing, but editing is divine. So once I went through and edited it a few times, I gave it back. And like, this, this is awesome. And that was the purpose books. I was like, hey, let me go find, start the author writing process. And they're like, technically speaking, this is good stuff,
Starting point is 00:27:15 but you don't want to put this out first. So it's like, okay, let me start writing a bunch of smaller things. And so what I did was I came up with the My Three Power series, just inspiration to start writing. Or I would see a picture. Here's a picture. Write a 500-word story. And I just realized, man, it's so easy. There's just so many stories. In my mind, I am simply telling the story of the characters themselves.
Starting point is 00:27:36 They're telling me, oh, hey, by the way, this is what happened. And I'm the one that sort of, I become the enemy before that and then tell people their story. Yeah. Tell people their story and help them find it. What a great journey. And then did you learn a lot of these lessons from being in the Navy and maybe commanding other people or being a leader, et cetera, et cetera? I think because of the good leadership I had, they did a really good job of nurturing my creativity and my ideas. And, hey, if it's something cool, go for it, see what happens.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Because if you do nothing, nothing will happen. Life only sees what you do. So do something. Start there. And then the universe will give you immediate feedback. And based on what the universe tells you, we'll be. determine where you can go from there. And a lot of times spent in the Navy was a lot of trial and error. Towards the end of my active duty time, I was like, okay, I'm beginning to pick up on the
Starting point is 00:28:28 trend, the consistency of what actions lead to what consequences and what good things and benefits could come from that. But I would definitely say that military paid a large majority factor in my ability to be where I am today, at least in pushing me into doing things. Yeah. That's a great thing about the military. They kind of break you down. they build you back up again and teach you how to be a machine. They're so great at leadership and stuff and leadership techniques. And our military is designed to where in the Russian military, they have generals and stuff, like all down through the thing.
Starting point is 00:29:03 And if you cut off one of them, you cut off one of the heads. And everybody below him can't figure out what to do or function. But my understanding of our military is the troops and groups can operate without, if there is an interruption of that chain of command on what their mission is and that leaders can take over as other leaders might fall. And you see the real difference in the quality of our military over just the bloodbath or just, it's just a me grinder. They're just throwing people at the Ukrainians over there. And it's unfortunate. Hopefully it catches up to Putin, but we'll see. Final thoughts as we go out, pitch people on where to pick up your book and how to get to know
Starting point is 00:29:43 more about you and anything you have coming up to the future you want to pitch out to people. The, I would say for the My Superpower series, you can go to Rabinsky Books.com and buy that book there. Both books are on Amazon. You can buy them on Bards and Nobles. Right now, the I Problem Theory is out of print, but it gives you the option to go to A books to purchase it. You could also purchase it from the WordPress website, to the best of my knowledge. And that's where you can buy those books. Also, when you do buy the book, remember in the back is a spot for the I Problem Theory.
Starting point is 00:30:16 we can actually write down each individual problem that you might have. And I think that will definitely assist people and understanding what it is that could be bothering them. Yeah, yeah, because you help them do better, be better, yada, yada, yada. So it's been wonderful and insightful to have you on the show. And now I need to think about my answers of what my superpowers are and how to use them better, maybe drink more coffee and eat more beans. So people can order up the books, wherever fine books are sold, Amazon and all those places. and they can find out more about you on your website.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Give me the dot-coms for you one last time, if you don't mind. Rabinsky Books.com for the MySoup Power series, the A.R. Press website. It's a really long name. A.R. Press, Anthony Robbins, blah, blah, blah. There's also Barnes & Nobles has the books. You just type in Anthony Rabinsky. Google, Yahoo, search.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Most of these items will pop up. There you. My problem. What it was I like to call it is blame others. So I'm doing a book called The U Problem. It's all your fault. Not mine. The eye problem.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Check it out, folks. It's called the eye problem theory, solve your problems. You find out wherever fine books are sold. Thanks for us for tuning in.
