But here's what's relevant: by that point, I had noticed this lovely person named Ashlea Hearn reviewing me wherever she could—different books, this podcast, on Google...everywhere.\nBut here's what I really noticed: she wasn't just slapping a review up there in order to \"do the right thing\" but crafting thoughtful, in-depth analysis that showed she really had taken in and appreciated the work. (Her review of Party Girl still comes up as \"Most Relevant,\" which is Amazon speak for \"the most thoughtful one.\")\nBecause of all this, not only was I delighted to speak to her about her book but when she declared me her \"mentor,\" I happily took on the role. And it's been nothing but rewarding as I've watched her jump into life and authorhood with enthusiasm and gumption. Then, like the amazing mentee she is, she flew out for a book party I had for one of my clients and made so many friends that when I showed up for breakfast the next morning to meet some, she was there!\nSo that's our back story. Here's her back story.\nShe started writing as a little girl because it was a fascinating escape from what she considered to be a mundane life of a girl from the Midwest.\nAt an early age, she fell in love with the suaveness of James Bond, the action of Mission: Impossible, the gore and badassery of Kill Bill: Volume 1 and the relatable female characters of Totally Spies!—all of which influenced the Take It book series.\nListen in on this chat between a mentee and a thoroughly delighted mentor!\nFOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE PODCAST AND OTHER STUFF, GO TO WWW.ONGOODAUTHORITYPOD.COM!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UCEB2n_nvgUQzlnfTs-39SC2dlssng3NDLqkGEuUaBM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xYjhj/ZDM5N2VjMzUxZmQ4/NWE5NDQ1ODEwZGI0/YWE5Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
