Happy Wednesday! I took this week off to write a TED talk that I'll be delivering next month in Pennsylvania, which I'm really excited about. There was no time to produce a normal Nerdwriter video, but I did record this (long) Q&A! Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. The fans of this channel have always been kind and thoughtful. I couldn't be more grateful for that. If you have more questions, leave them in the comments below and I'll try to get to them.
