  <description>Nick's Book is Done and he's actually holding it during this episode. This calls for a celebration!
But the celebration quickly moves into what is next for the book and where all of this can go in 2019 and beyond.
Kent is still worried that Able Cells isn't a business and wants $50,000 or so to make it one.
We set some basic 2019 goals and decide to take Christmas off... but you knew that :)
