Audio Transcript

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:00] Hello. Hello everybody. A guest today. He had a time where he hit rock bottom like many of us, and he has turned that around and become a huge success story. We’re gonna learn about all of that and more, uh, is coming up.

We’ve got the host, creator and writer of the “No Where To Go But Up” podcasts with Sean Dustin. Give it up for my friend Sean Dustin. So what’s up man? How you doing?

Sean Dustin: [00:00:24] I’m doing well. You gave me a lot of credit. Uh, a little bit too much, cause, uh, I definitely don’t write a whole lot of anything

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:32] in writing is, it’s proverbial, right? I mean, you know, I’d be, the way I see, I’m writing a book right now about my own story, right? But I actually record it. I’m actually making a podcast version of it first. So it’s more of a docudrama narrative kind of thing. And then I take that audio and I transcribe that, and then I turn that into book form. So I’ve actually got a book agent,

Sean Dustin: [00:00:52] uh,

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:53] waiting for me as she’s collecting the chapters and we’re working on, you know, negotiating, uh,

Sean Dustin: [00:00:59] you

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:59] know, distributor deals, publisher deals.

Sean Dustin: [00:01:01] Um, but I’m doing that basically by telling my story.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:01:04] So, I mean, I guess I’m a writer too,

Sean Dustin: [00:01:05] technically, but

Brian Schoenborn: [00:01:06] how much fucking writing am I actually doing? You know, it’s all coming out of my mouth.

Sean Dustin: [00:01:11] I don’t know.

Shoot, shoot, shoot me your agent’s contact because that’s the key. That’s the kind of book I need to write. And I got about three of them within my, within my story itself. Right. Um, there’s offshoots to all the different, like smaller subs. Set of stories that came from that crazy ass life. Nice.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:01:32] So, um,
