are negative associations with that and i'm trying to kind of spin that on its head. >> janai: and we love that. so, even though this is about girls it was inspired by your son who unbelievably will be 10 this year, this month. >> this month, i can't believe it. they grow so fast. everybody always says that but it is so true especially when you're experiencing it firsthand. so my son was actually saying, i should do one about boys and i was like, this is your everyday. boys get affirmed all the time by the world around them. and so i feel like even we're talking about super tuesday coming up and think about the fact in this country's 235-year history we still haven't had a female president. we're way behind other countries with regard to that who have had women as prime ministers and presidents.(dt only 10% of the ceos of fortune 500 companies are women. and so why is that? obviously we are just as capable and able, but i think it's about planting those seeds early on to encourage that kind of aspirations. >> janai: good on you. >> gio: planting the seeds. that's what's important. enough of our questions because we have some questions now from our special guests here in the studio. first up is second grader talela. she wants to be a chef. what's your question?

do what i think i want to do. so i would say, what is the best part about your job? what's the hardest part about your job? what do you love about it? what drives you crazy? then think about what kinds of -- if you wanted to be a nurse, for example, do you want to be a nurse practitioner to prescribe medicine for people to get better or pediatric nurse where you just work with children? so i think that it's just about figuring out what it is you want to do and then talking to the people who do that. >> whit: love that. linsey, as a parent, as a girl dad, as your friend, congratulations once again. my daughters love your books so we're excited for number six right here. >> thank you, guys. >> whit: speaking of "girls of the world" all of our friends in the studio, you're all going to get a copy of linsey's book, right? >> yes. >> gio: there it is. >> whit: surprise. >> they are thrilled, as you can see. >> whit: it's very early on a saturday. they're like, you guys got me out of bed. >> i'm doing as part of a page turner's program i'll speak at their school on wednesday so thank you to the arch diocese for connecting us. >> whit: excellent. we'll be right back after this.
