So I have been trying to get various ideas out for years and I determined you know what some people really dig a good story so I sat down with a novelist named Steven Marsh and broke down what I thought would happen maybe in this next election if an independent were to run

and so the independent campaign manager is one of the protagonists journalist named Martha who finds this juicy explosive piece of news is another protagonist they of course are old flames from way back because it's a novel then we go through the months leading up to the next election which could be our last if we don't get our acts together and I give people as much as I can the inside scoop of what it's like to actually run for president from the inside where you can have people trying to do the right thing and it sometimes results in the wrong things

people who read it were like wow I actually didn't think I was going to enjoy it this much and Hollywood is looking at it for movie adaptation so you know it must be good

the independent candidate I will say there's a little bit of me in there just for fun and because I you know I know my own story the candidate slogan is something like do the math actually the actual slogan of the campaign I think is unfuck America better yeah better right but do the math is one of their taglines from like a reality show he was involved in so there's a little bit of Mark Cuban a little bit of me I'm into it

We read this book, Crucial Conversations, and we always know that we're going toward the same end result.

It's having Crucial Conversations, meaning putting all the brutal facts out there, but not in a mean-spirited way, knowing that we both want to get to the same place at the same time.

designed a virtually fail safe investment, a system that tied together four or five spread positions, creating a cross index calibration of market plays that permitted him to adjust risk to the point of non-existence

In your book, Your Money Playbook, you talk about four financial strategies. I want to double click on the fourth one, which is the promise of legacy.

So unpacking topics like insurance, wills, estate planning.

In Your Money Playbook, our book, we talk about this, but there are a lot of similarities between football and money management.

It's also about teaching your children how to deal with money and teaching your children how to manage money. We talk so much about generational wealth, but what good is it for me to give my children a bunch of assets and a bunch of money and not teach them how to go fish, not teach them how to deal with the money, not teach them how to deal with the pressure.

In her new book, Only Say Good Things, Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, Crystal opens up about the financial control she was subject to during her time in the Playboy Mansion.

I would say look at all the ways Hef profited off of us and not just us, all the women before us, and all the women before that, all the way to Marilyn Monroe, who was the very first playmate in the magazine that got paid nothing for creating an entire empire for Hef.

In my books, I talked about how much I made for my advances, because I talk about money, and I just assume somebody would wonder, you don't have to tell me, but it's not in the millions of dollars I assume.

For my advance, no. It was less than $100,000, and I split that with my book agent.

I remember getting $29,000 into my bank account, and I'm like, "Oh, my credit card's more than that at this point, because I'm building a place in Hawaii, so that money just went away in one day."

You're even featured in my latest book.

in the book I This Is Your Destiny I talk about a client that I had who I named Courtney in this book and how she was like working as this and she was a real client of mine she was working as an administrative assistant she took the job because she was broke and now she was even more broke you know having a job with with money coming in and health benefits and then when I asked her like well what did you want to do before this job she's like I'm a photographer and I was like oh well how did that go like when you were pursuing photography what happened she's like oh I never pursued it because there's no money in it

What is your tattoo? Remind me? 2 AM because my first book was called The 2 AM Principle, which is nothing good happens after 2 AM except the most epic things in your life.

I'm excited to talk to you about your debut novel, Most Hated comes out May 30th. Congrats.

Yes, your assumption is correct. However, that being said, I always knew I wanted to write a novel that dealt with female relationships.

the novel and the narrative of the novel, it is a fiction. It's not a calculated tell all. It's not a biography or autobiography.

A lot of the characters informed by the emotions I felt when I was cast as the villain for all intents and purposes. I prefer antihero, but cast as the villain on Toronto Housewives.

In the description of your book, it says, Allaway brings readers the inside perspective of someone who has been the reality TV villain and survived.

They made me read the Wealthy Barber when I was a teenager and I learned a lot from that about savings and all of that stuff,

i'm just writing my first one now so great idea you wouldn't call that epic but just as i was always saying on the beach and elsewhere you're never too old to chase your dreams the name of this book is you're never too young to chase your dreams
