  • From Jim Henson to Keynotes: Andrew Davis's Journey to Storytelling Mastery
    2025/01/09

    SHOW NOTES

    When you meet a guy like Andrew Davis, you can’t help but wonder, “How did he do that?” That was exactly what I was thinking after introducing him at the Author Nation conference in Vegas. His keynote presentation was one of the best I’ve ever scene. I knew within minutes that I had to get this guy on the show. So I did.

    Also in this episode, I talk about why you don’t have to finish a bad book or a bad movie or even a bad podcast. I even worked in some health tips for diabetics at one point. Tune in for that, if nothing else. See you inside.

  • Pulling it all together with Genius Link
    2024/12/26

    SHOW NOTES

    The FINAL EPISODE (of 2024). This week I chat with Jesse Lakes, founder of Genius Link—a tool that helps you send readers and customers to all the right places, from a single, very useful URL.

    Also in this episode, I talk about some of my own upcoming plans for 2025, including ways I intend to monetize this show and more of my work, and my “strategy is better than planning” approach. Some nice pearls of wisdom here, so don’t miss the “Note at the End.”
