Well, the time has finally come. I can share what I’ve been working on since April… and why we’ve only been posting three videos a month this year.

Next year—for America’s birthday—I’m publishing a book called Your Fellow Americans. It’s told through the people I’ve met across this great country and the experiences I’ve had along the way.

It also goes beyond the videos: stories that never made it into episodes, cultural observations, and a chapter on my own backstory and how this journey started. Simon & Schuster is publishing it, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with such a sharp and professional team.

The book doesn’t go live until August 4, 2026, but it’s officially available for preorder now.
www.simonandschuster.com/books/Your-Fellow-America…

I never ask for an ask, but if you’ve enjoyed my videos and want to support the channel, preordering a copy truly helps. From what I understand, the more preorders a book gets, the more likely it ends up on the right bookshelves in the right bookstores around the country.

Thank you all for making it possible to get to this point! I think you’re going to love this book.

See you in December with fresh videos. Happy Thanksgiving!

That's incredible! We do need this as a nation. The online and media landscape has lead to so much fictionalized division.

The level of professionalism in your videos and your ability to talk easily with just about anyone regardless of background is impressive and why so many watch and are inspired by your content. As an avid reader, this is a no brainer purchase!

Peter it’s a blessing you’re showing us all parts of the World. Those of us that probably will never see it. The raw and real life of all parts of this world. I am from Canada would love one day you come here and explore we also have so much history and beautiful places. Love your videos and so interesting on the raw footage of the journeys you take us along with you. My favourite was through Virginia raw back county. Congratulations on the book. 🥰
