SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!

Our "Only Good Things" book is NUMBER THREE in the Top 5 Bestsellers at Exclusive Books Hyde Park.

They've just tagged us. And I actually can't breathe.

My friends, this isn’t just a book - it’s a movement. I mean Good Things Guy is truly a movement. It's a celebration of kindness, hope and the incredible people making the world a better place.

And now, our book is flying off the shelves because good news matters. Some people told me (long ago) that it doesn't. But it really, really matters.

To every single person who picked up a copy, who believes in this mission, who shares in the magic of positive stories - this is our moment.

I’m overwhelmed. I’m grateful. I’m in awe.

And this? This is just the beginning (of this chapter).

NUMBER THREE.

My fok Marelize.

Okay. Love you. Bye.
