Hey! Welcome back!

Today’s episode is a little different. I’m opening up about three things I’ve changed my mind on when it comes to writing, publishing, and building a business with a book. Spoiler: growth means allowing yourself to pivot ... even when you’ve been preaching something for years.

These are lessons I’ve learned from working in the author entrepreneur space since 2018, and from real life (like a scary few months with my mom that made me rethink a lot of things). So if you’ve been clinging to old rules about writing, AI, or what it takes to build authority ... this one’s for you.

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

  1. Why I changed my mind about authors putting their face on the BOOK COVER (you gotta hear why!)
     
  2. My totally changed mind on AI & ChatGPT and WHAT you should be using it for in your book process
     
  3. Why I no longer believe a book is the ONLY way to build authority

This episode is all about giving yourself permission to evolve. I’m sharing what I’ve learned, where I’ve shifted, and why it’s okay to change your mind as you grow.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
