Connolly Brothers on Minutemen: Execute and Run | What’s Kraken
6 Plays1 hour ago
Jo welcomes Christopher and Lawrence Connolly, the powerhouse creative duo behind the upcoming novel Minutemen: Execute and Run (out October 14). Born from Christopher’s vivid character sketches and Lawrence’s storytelling, this action-driven tale follows a team of wounded warriors who gain incredible powers that last only 60 seconds — and then leave them completely vulnerable.
The brothers share the story’s journey from art table to screenplay pitches in Hollywood, the pandemic delays that deepened the project, and their hopes for a full multimedia franchise — including a film, graphic novel, young reader adaptation, and even a game. Along the way, they open up about collaboration, values in storytelling, and why found-family dynamics are at the heart of Minutemen.

Intro
00:00:07
Jo
Hey everyone, Joe here, and today we got a two-for-one guest. That's right. We've got none other than Christopher and Lawrence Connolly, the Connolly brothers. How are you guys today?
00:00:20
Lawrence C. Connolly
Doing great. Thanks so much.
00:00:20
Christopher Connolly
Doing well.
00:00:22
Jo
Well, thanks for, i mean, being on my show. And I saw the PR coming out for Minutemen Execute and Run, and I was like, this is my childhood.
00:00:34
Jo
I can't wait for this one. Absolutely. and If you have been sleeping under a rock and you're like, who is Christopher Conley and who is Lawrence Conley? Well, guess what?
00:00:46
Jo
They are the powerhouses of not only putting books, but maybe a, can we say movie in the works as well.
00:00:52
Christopher Connolly
Yes.
00:00:53
Lawrence C. Connolly
There is a movie in the works.
00:00:53
Christopher Connolly
that's the That's the ultimate desire.
00:00:54
Lawrence C. Connolly
it's
00:00:56
Jo
The ultimate desire. Now, starting out on on the book, just purely on the book, what can you tell me about Minutemen execute and run that won't spoil too much of the plot.
00:01:11
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, well, it deals with with um a band of wounded warriors who get a second chance at life. Only the second chance changes them in a way so that now they have these incredible powers that burn out in 60 seconds or thereabouts.
00:01:27
Lawrence C. Connolly
That's ergo the title Minutemen. But the thing is, when their superpowers burn out, they're not just out of superpower. They're out. They're down for the count.
00:01:37
Lawrence C. Connolly
They need protection. They are as vulnerable as infants at that point. And so if they're behind enemy lines and they're carrying out a mission or they're going for something, then they not only have to continue the mission, but they have to protect the guys that are down.
00:01:37
Jo
Oh, wow.
00:01:46
Jo
Yeah.
00:01:51
Lawrence C. Connolly
And going it alone is their kryptonite. Teamwork is the only way.
00:01:56
Jo
Yeah. I love that concept. And it's... It's something near and dear to my heart. I'm not sure everyone's seen my tattoos lately. But Wounded Warriors, that that was basically the story of my dad.
00:02:09
Jo
like that That's really, that comes back to a military family.
00:02:09
Christopher Connolly
Ciao.
00:02:11
Jo
And if anyone who's been around people who serve, this is it. it's a There's no I in team. We all what bleed red. if We're either all green or we bleed red.
00:02:22
Jo
That was the Marine Corps thing for a while. And that Minutemen brings it back to it. And I love it. It sets it up in reality and it goes, and what if?
00:02:32
Jo
What if they have powers? How would they use it? So when you're writing this book, do you also write for the concept of a movie at the same time or you focus strictly on the book?
00:02:43
Lawrence C. Connolly
Well, pretty much strictly on the book.
00:02:44
Christopher Connolly
Well, yeah, no, I was gonna say, I'll let Larry i run with this, but I think it's that we want to stay true to the original story, the concept of what it's all about.
00:02:45
Lawrence C. Connolly
Although, Chris, go ahead. Did you?
00:02:56
Jo
Right.
00:02:56
Christopher Connolly
And go ahead, Larry. I mean, that's the whole point. It's we want to kind of run them simultaneously. But Larry's a novelist and he go ahead, Larry, explain what you how your treatment was.
00:03:09
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, it might help to know where it all came about. You see, Chris is an artist. He yeah he was involved in fashion design way back in the 80s and very successful. And he's also a terrific cartoonist.
00:03:19
Lawrence C. Connolly
And he began working a few years ago on this Minuteman project. You didn't tell me about it. He just started working on it. And he developed this big pile of sketches and and character profiles. And when he finally shared it to me, He laid it out on the table and I looked at all these pictures of the characters and I looked at the concept and I felt like I knew these guys because the the illustrations were so vivid that we began from the point of character.
00:03:45
Lawrence C. Connolly
And of course we had this killer plot, this killer concept,
00:03:46
Jo
my
00:03:49
Lawrence C. Connolly
but the characters were what was gonna really drive it. And so my first thought was that we would have this as a screenplay. And so I wrote it first as a spec script, and then when the film Nightmare Cinema came out, which is a film that I worked on along with ah Mick Garris of Showtime's Masters of Horror, when that film came out,
00:04:08
Jo
Yeah.
00:04:11
Lawrence C. Connolly
Chris and I both went to the big premiere down in Hollywood, and we began pitching. the The next day and the next day and the next day, we began pitching this Minuteman script to various producers in town.
00:04:23
Lawrence C. Connolly
And there was one last guy we were going to meet. And i had to fly back home. I had other things going on. And Chris said, don't worry, I'll take it. I said, all right. It's highly speculative. Anyhow, everybody was very kind to us up to that point. But we didn't have anybody saying, yes, we'll work with you.
00:04:40
Lawrence C. Connolly
And i flew back home. I had a s stopover in Salt Lake. I got off the plane. There were all these messages from Chris saying that, you know I met with Jonathan Sanger.
00:04:48
Jo
Really?
00:04:50
Lawrence C. Connolly
And and yeah, he's very, very interested. And so we very likely might have had a project filmed by now, but that was 2019. And next thing had that happened was COVID.
00:05:03
Lawrence C. Connolly
And the next thing that happened was the writer's strike.
00:05:04
Jo
Yes.
00:05:06
Lawrence C. Connolly
And the next thing that happened were the fires. And we have a we have a picture of taken from Chris's balcony West Hollywood,
00:05:10
Jo
Wow. Right.
00:05:14
Lawrence C. Connolly
where the fires came to within ah couple of blocks of his home.
00:05:17
Jo
wow
00:05:18
Lawrence C. Connolly
And so all of this stuff kind of delayed things. So I figured, what the heck, let's write the novel. Because this is what i this is the other thing I do is I'm a novelist. So I wrote the novel and it sold to Ark Manor.
00:05:28
Jo
right
00:05:31
Lawrence C. Connolly
It's coming out October 14th. And so the movie will, we hope, eventually happen. But right now, the novel is definitely coming out in October 14th.
00:05:41
Jo
The novel is coming out definitely. Yeah, that's that's an amazing story.
00:05:43
Christopher Connolly
And by the delay, with everything, with all the delays, we just keep getting richer and deeper with the whole story and we have more going on with it.
00:05:44
Jo
Yeah.
00:05:50
Jo
Right.
00:05:52
Christopher Connolly
And from the very get-go, I've always said with everyone I've met with, and you brought it up earlier, i believe you brought it up maybe it was in our pre-conversation, but... I would love to create a foundation out of this, too.
00:06:02
Christopher Connolly
This is not a political story, but it's a story written and by, you know, for it's about veterans and it's about the vulnerabilities in the human side of them.
00:06:08
Jo
Yeah.
00:06:11
Christopher Connolly
But the we would like to do a lot with this whole project, this whole platform.
00:06:17
Jo
That's amazing. And that's that's what comes across. And I didn't know it started as a character sketching and then into screenplay idea and then into the movie.
00:06:29
Jo
And it makes sense. And it makes sense. when Once you said 2019, I'm like, oh, COVID. Yeah, there's no way. you get
00:06:35
Christopher Connolly
Right.
00:06:35
Jo
How many projects got put on hold for like indefinite for a little bit, you know, because of that? And then the strike happens.
00:06:40
Lawrence C. Connolly
That's right. Yeah, I exactly.
00:06:41
Jo
Of course it does.
00:06:43
Christopher Connolly
i I truly believed that I could pitch the graphic novel that as the storyboards, the story, all complete, and believe that we could just leap to a live-action film.
00:06:51
Jo
yeah
00:06:57
Christopher Connolly
Now, again, as I say, maybe it's the delays that have been very helpful for us because, Larry, the story's getting richer, the characters are rich, and... and and uh deep so i think it's it's actually i'm i'm looking at as an optimistic thing saying this is a good delay
00:07:14
Jo
Absolutely. no It seems that way because as you said, This very well could be a graphic novel piece as well. And that's what, as Larry was talking about, how it's structured. I'm like, oh my gosh, this would actually make a brilliant graphic novel too.
00:07:29
Jo
it like the the media The medium possibilities are endless. You have the movie. You've got the novel coming out October 14th. You've got the graphic novel Maybe. Maybe. And you put this all together, it's it's kind of what's happening in the world now.
00:07:44
Jo
I love this. It gets more readers, more people, more viewers, all interested in the same IP. And that's brilliant.
00:07:51
Christopher Connolly
and it And if we could, i don't want to get too ahead of ourselves, but we see this as a gaming platform.
00:07:55
Jo
Right?
00:07:57
Christopher Connolly
We're also working on a young, Larry, it's a young teen novel, right?
00:07:58
Jo
Absolutely.
00:08:02
Lawrence C. Connolly
It would be a middle grade novel. And this is something that we we worked on also during COVID. And we were working with a very talented artist. Chris, of course, is a very talented artist, but we also working with a fellow named Jeffrey Harris.
00:08:17
Lawrence C. Connolly
And Jeffrey illustrated the first couple of chapters of this book called Game On, which is about these kids who are playing this game called Minutemen.
00:08:28
Lawrence C. Connolly
And they begin to make a surprising discovery that maybe the Minutemen aren't just in the game. Maybe they're really out there in the world. And so it is a book that kind of runs parallel to the Minutemen novel that's coming out, but it also tells a different story from a different point of view for a younger audience.
00:08:51
Lawrence C. Connolly
And we're hoping that we're hoping that this does come to fruition and it will broaden the appeal of the Minutemen franchise.
00:08:59
Christopher Connolly
The beauty, it it induces the younger generation to this as well.
00:08:59
Jo
Absolutely.
00:09:00
Jo
And yeah.
00:09:03
Christopher Connolly
And that can carry on into the later years.
00:09:05
Lawrence C. Connolly
And if if anybody wants to see some of Jeffrey's illustrations, they can do that.
00:09:06
Jo
Right. That's exactly it.
00:09:10
Lawrence C. Connolly
We have a newsletter. it's can find it at concomentertainment.substack.com.
00:09:13
Jo
Cool.
00:09:18
Lawrence C. Connolly
And in the most recent issue of the newsletter, we have this animated one and a half minute book trailer featuring Jeffrey Harris's illustrations.
00:09:26
Jo
Really?
00:09:30
Jo
That's an amazing concept. It works on so many levels. And I'm i'm glad you brought up the audience. The level of audience, and I think this is needed, we probably all grew up with the the fantasy or the sci-fi or or something that got us into arts, into writing, into creatives when we were growing up.
00:09:50
Jo
And there seems to be sometimes generational gaps that happen. And I'm I know your body of work, so I'm not going to lie. So I do know your body work. i You are absolutely part of that voice needed.
00:10:04
Jo
And the minute men execute and run, ah sounds like a home run for it as well. I think this will energize a lot of people who want to become and learn values from it too. Not all books have to be, you know, the doom and gloom.
00:10:18
Jo
Values should be part, you know, and I think that's what you really hit home on all your stuff, the values. Where does that come from?
00:10:23
Christopher Connolly
and
00:10:24
Jo
where Where does the value, like I'm going say value, I mean like the the core value that you put into your writing without being over the top on it?
00:10:33
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, where does it come from? That's that's a good question. know Chris and I have always been creative. And you know if you go back in time, somewhere in my mom's stuff, somewhere in our mom's stuff is a picture of of of Chris and me wearing a couple of costumes that we created.
00:10:45
Jo
Yeah. Nice. Yeah.
00:10:50
Lawrence C. Connolly
We're just little kids here, right? And I created the Green Hornet costume and Chris created the Kato costume. And somewhere, I have to find this picture, somewhere is a picture of us doing Green Hornet and Cato for no reason, just because we wanted to do it. you know so So just, I think the the ah this desire to create, this desire to to enter into other lives, to become other people, whether it's through putting on a costume or it's it's writing a book and entering the characters' lives that way,
00:11:07
Jo
yeah
00:11:22
Lawrence C. Connolly
I think that, uh, at least for us, as I see it, it's just something that is inherent.
00:11:27
Jo
Right.
00:11:29
Lawrence C. Connolly
It's something that we've always had. it's something that we've always wanted to do. You know, some people always want to go into business. Some people always want to go into politics or sing, but, but we've always having in this, had this drive to create,
00:11:42
Lawrence C. Connolly
I think it's Chris is what sent you to New York back when you were 20. Chris just moves away to New York. And ah ah and then within a year, he's he's got an advertising agency and he's he's doing ah ah fashion design for some of the biggest companies in New York.
00:11:52
Jo
yeah
00:11:55
Lawrence C. Connolly
ah What do you think, Chris? Am I am i on the right track here?
00:11:58
Christopher Connolly
You are. And I think what you was mentioned was how do you do this? It's really telling the story. And actually, it's like a painting, if if I can say that.
00:12:06
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:08
Christopher Connolly
Because when you look at a painting, you see it for what it is, but you see it for what you see it for. it We're not trying to have someone read this and see the story in any political way.
00:12:20
Christopher Connolly
But it's about, you know, it's it's talking about the vulnerabilities of these people that are very skilled, but suddenly come back broken. wounded and it comes from a good place at first where the government is trying to heal them, give them their lives back. They served, they're getting their lives back and suddenly they are, they're whole and healthy.
00:12:39
Christopher Connolly
But of course it's a side effect. There's a side effect that takes place. And with that, and because of the different ah nationalities and the ethnicities of these characters, we're not really blasting it in your face.
00:12:49
Jo
right
00:12:52
Christopher Connolly
It's just there.
00:12:54
Jo
Right.
00:12:54
Christopher Connolly
Yeah.
00:12:55
Jo
but That's what I really enjoy what you said right there.
00:12:56
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, I think what...
00:12:59
Jo
Because we all can probably name books and TV shows where it's definitely on purpose and it's in your face. And it's just like, it takes away from the plot. It does.
00:13:08
Christopher Connolly
Yes. Yeah.
00:13:10
Jo
and the way you're doing it is natural. And that really gives back the genuine part of writing. And you can have the most fantastic story as long it's genuine.
00:13:24
Christopher Connolly
Right.
00:13:24
Jo
And that's what Larry does with his writing. And we're going back to you, Chris. Have you worked with your brother a lot with the, like, I've got an idea for a character that looks like this.
00:13:37
Jo
Do you guys do tandems back and forth to get the books going? Or...
00:13:41
Christopher Connolly
i've been ah I've run a marketing design and print firm for 47, for many years, let's put just put it that way.
00:13:47
Jo
Right. Yeah. Right.
00:13:48
Christopher Connolly
And I actually own the company and I've learned to work with the staff that you gotta let artists, myself, Larry, you gotta let them create. So i come I have the whole thing all outlined, the story, the plot, everything.
00:14:01
Christopher Connolly
And there's a couple times where I said to Larry, you know if you want to run it with us, run with us. And I always feel that because we're collaborating, I do have final say because of the true value, the true premise of the story.
00:14:12
Jo
right
00:14:12
Christopher Connolly
But at one point I said, Larry, we were mixing up the characters a little bit. but I met with a lot of different producers before Jonathan, but and they all had their input, but there is something Larry and I sat aside talking about how this could make it rich or whatnot.
00:14:27
Christopher Connolly
And I presented a video I saw of this one person, this character. i'm not going to really go into it too much. Let, you know, read about it. But the thing is, suddenly Larry created a whole new character.
00:14:39
Christopher Connolly
And I loved it. And I said, if it would fit with the vision I wanted to go with it, he named her. He put her in. And this is it. That's what true collaboration is, right?
00:14:49
Jo
Right.
00:14:49
Christopher Connolly
I got to trust his skill and his art. and He's got to trust my vision. And that's what comes together. And we can't step on each other's toes. Because if you do, he's going to stunt me.
00:14:59
Christopher Connolly
I'm gonna he's i'm going to stop block him from doing something, right?
00:15:02
Jo
Yeah.
00:15:03
Christopher Connolly
Yeah.
00:15:04
Jo
That's amazing. And then.
00:15:05
Lawrence C. Connolly
it was a video It was a video of a kickboxer. It was it was a very kinetic video.
00:15:09
Christopher Connolly
Yeah, martial artist.
00:15:11
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, martial art, yeah.
00:15:14
Christopher Connolly
Beautiful. and in the And again, goes back to the characters. Each of the characters have a skill ah They have their their personality that they bring to this.
00:15:14
Jo
That's amazing.
00:15:26
Jo
Right.
00:15:26
Christopher Connolly
So even without the hero or the superhero part of it or the side effect, they have so they have their abilities.
00:15:33
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah.
00:15:33
Jo
And that's what it needs to be.
00:15:35
Jo
It needs to be grounded in humanity.
00:15:35
Christopher Connolly
Mm-hmm.
00:15:38
Christopher Connolly
Right.
00:15:39
Jo
and And that's what sci-fi helps us since before Star Trek, always obviously. It helps us ground in humanity. ground in humanity Now, I do have a background in a bit of both, not as well as neither of you even close to it.
00:15:54
Lawrence C. Connolly
so.
00:15:56
Jo
But I understand what Scott McCloud would say about having a great graphic artist and a great writer. And the more you get educated and the better become your craft, the further away you get to each other.
00:16:09
Jo
However, it looks like the both of you, since you're brothers, have avoided that entirely. And you actually got better and closer. Is that somewhat correct?
00:16:19
Lawrence C. Connolly
yeah i think so
00:16:20
Christopher Connolly
I think with in my case, ah Larry is my older brother.
00:16:25
Christopher Connolly
So I respect and I do feel comfortable with the IP that I can, they'll listen if I have something to say, but Larry is my older brother. He knows what he's doing with the writing. So yes.
00:16:38
Jo
ah
00:16:39
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, I would say the same thing, you know, getting back to that pile of sketches that Chris did for all of the characters. And that actually became the structure of the novel in an interesting way.
00:16:51
Lawrence C. Connolly
Because think of this, I'm looking at all of these character sketches laid out on the table, and there's a pile for a character named Daniel Hayes, and there's ah pile for a character named... Zoya Zinchenko and on.
00:17:03
Lawrence C. Connolly
And when the novel began to gel, it became clear that the best way to tell this story was from the point of view of these seven different characters, so that the novel is presented in a series of scenes that are focused on one individual character at a time.
00:17:16
Christopher Connolly
Thank you.
00:17:18
Jo
Right.
00:17:25
Lawrence C. Connolly
Now, they're not it's not the first person. It's all third person, but we're very close to these characters. We're in their thoughts. We're in their world. We're in their hangups. And so the story is presented from these seven points of view.
00:17:38
Lawrence C. Connolly
And this is what Chris is talking about when he's talking about know political issues. Each one of these characters has a point of view, but the point of view that we actually get from the story is the amalgam.
00:17:47
Jo
right
00:17:51
Lawrence C. Connolly
It's the group point of view. And these guys are at odds a lot of the time, but they have learned that the only way they're going to succeed is if they set aside their differences and become this mosaic of power.
00:17:54
Jo
right.
00:18:05
Lawrence C. Connolly
And so that they can go into a into mission, go they can go on a mission And they can go in with a plan and they can make sure that everyone gets out alive. There is this one character, Daniel Hayes. This is his big thing. Get out alive. Something happened to him in the war that he learned that he never, ever wants to get out of a situation and leave anybody behind.
00:18:30
Lawrence C. Connolly
So he's a stickler for this. And now leaving people behind and getting out alive can be pretty difficult. when your team is beginning to drop and you're beginning yeah one person down, two person down, three person down.
00:18:45
Lawrence C. Connolly
And now you have to continue the mission, but you still have to protect these people who have given their power to advance the mission and are now dependent on you getting them out alive.
00:18:54
Jo
right
00:18:57
Lawrence C. Connolly
And, you know, when when chris when Chris began laying this all out and we began talking about it, I thought this this has got to be a go. We're going to do this.
00:19:05
Jo
but It sounds amazing. And I keep thinking it's like a found family, which the military is.
00:19:11
Lawrence C. Connolly
Thank you.
00:19:12
Jo
It's a found family.
00:19:12
Christopher Connolly
here
00:19:13
Jo
It's a bunch of people coming together for one purpose. And i love the concept of that being presented in the book, especially today, especially for children, especially for people who can just understand coming together for one goal will help everyone out.
00:19:17
Christopher Connolly
It's always been the
00:19:33
Christopher Connolly
And it's ah ah it's a story. it's ah ah It's a story about brothers and sisters of war. They come back, as we say, and they're broken.
00:19:36
Jo
Yeah.
00:19:38

But as we say, and you had referenced something earlier, but it's the Marines saying, once a warrior, always a warrior, right? I mean, so even it was time for them to stand up again.
00:19:45
Jo
Yeah.
00:19:49
Christopher Connolly
and And that's the other premise of the story. It's regular people with vulnerabilities, but with a special twist.
00:19:53
Lawrence C. Connolly
you
00:20:00
Jo
My dad would love this one. Absolutely loved it. Now, I asked this of all my guests, and we'll go Chris and Larry. What is the one thing you would tell younger? When I mean younger, I mean like teenage or below you for advice now.
00:20:16
Christopher Connolly
For advice in and life or...
00:20:19
Jo
Anything.
00:20:23
Christopher Connolly
I just, know, always, you know, just believe in yourself and just keep moving forward. This is an amazing journey that we're all on. I have a little mantra I say to myself, you are never lost. You're always where you meant to be.
00:20:35
Christopher Connolly
And where I arrive, when I arrive, I'll arrive on time. And that is in truth a case what happened with COVID hitting us and delaying us. But as I mentioned earlier,
00:20:47
Christopher Connolly
Because of the delays, maybe if we got here too soon, we wouldn't have been ready. So I believe in these delays are there for a reason, and i will arrive when I'm supposed to arrive. That's a true belief that I have.
00:20:57
Jo
I love it. so is It's very Zen, very centering. Absolutely perfect. And Larry, how about you?
00:21:05
Lawrence C. Connolly
Four words I would say to him, you will get there. Don't rush, you know, don't worry.
00:21:12
Jo
Right, right.
00:21:13
Lawrence C. Connolly
put it in that you know Put in the effort every day.
00:21:13
Jo
right
00:21:15
Lawrence C. Connolly
Dream a little every day. You will get there. I work with a lot of young writers, and and and young writers are really eager to be published. they They want to be writers, and what I try to tell them is that they already are writers. You don't have to be published to be a writer.
00:21:32
Lawrence C. Connolly
You simply have to write. The publishing will come. The success will come. But the first thing you have to do is dream big, Write as well as you can.
00:21:42
Lawrence C. Connolly
Put in a little effort each day and you will get there.
00:21:43
Jo
ye
00:21:48
Jo
Perfect. That's what we used to say. Put your reps in. Writing is just like working out. If you think you're going to do this great thing at once, no. Put your reps in. Put your work in. And it will come.
00:21:58
Christopher Connolly
Mm-hmm.
00:21:58
Jo
Well, that's brilliant. And I can't wait for Minutemen. Execute and run October 14th. Plus possible. Fingers crossed, still movie, still movie coming out.
00:22:11
Jo
And maybe video games and maybe the graphic. I want all of it. I want the package set. I'm greedy. I want the package set so I can have it on my shelf so I can play the game and I can show everyone who who actually would love. I know so many people who love your writing.
00:22:28
Jo
I know so many people who just love the concepts. And Chris, these character character stories are it. Always, always forever. Character stories above plot stories, always.
00:22:40
Christopher Connolly
Can we pitch the yeah website, the Minuteman newsletter?
00:22:40
Jo
Now, I
00:22:45
Jo
was going to say, where can we find you on socials? Where's going to be your tags?
00:22:49
Lawrence C. Connolly
Yeah, there right Chris just mentioned it. We have the minutemennovel.com. They can go there and they can see the cover. They can see the the link to the pre-order page on Amazon, and they can see a really cool book trailer there as well.
00:23:04
Lawrence C. Connolly
can also go Lawrence C. Connolly dot com, where I have a lot of information on Minutemen, but they can also find out a lot about me there. And both Chris and I are on social media, too.
00:23:18
Lawrence C. Connolly
We're easy to find.
00:23:20
Jo
Love it. Love it. Select, follow, and learn. and And that's the best thing. I think because you're both giving back to the communities that support you or you are in, that is the best way for people to learn.
00:23:35
Jo
Follow and engage. Absolutely. Especially the engagement part. Well, folks, thanks for so much for being on the show. On behalf of myself, Joe and Larry and Chris, we bid you, as Paul Harvey would say, good day.
