Welcome to Ask Jack, a new feature where we’ll be answering the top questions you’ve been asking regarding personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
For this first session of Ask Jack, I'm joined by my business partner of 30 years, Patty Aubery. Patty started working with me as an assistant. Then she became a co-author of some Chicken Soup for the Soul books. She is now president of Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises and the Canfield Training Group. As well as all of this, she is the author of many New York Times bestselling books.

Hello to you both. I love you so much. It’s a pleasure to seeing you. I always learn something listening to you and Patty. The color coding calendar is a great idea. And ask ask ask. I share that all the time. The other day I encouraged my 9yr old to do that the other day when she was literally crying about not being able to help her dad. I said just ask and see what he says. She came back with a great big smile and said he said yes, and went back to helping him. Love the last one, the ornament. 4 hrs of in the come as you are party. You would manifest that for sure. Thank you very much. ❤
