You never know which invitation, opportunity, or relationship might lead to something meaningful.I’d love to hear what you’ve said “yes” to lately. Email me at [email protected].

One of the most consistent themes I hear from writers is that many struggle with the business side of things. They become writers because they love the craft, the storytelling, or simply creating content. But the need for clear business thinking and processes often comes as a surprise. That’s why I’m excited to share this conversation with J.D. Barker, who’s here to help us understand how to navigate the business of being a writer. J.D. Barker is a New York Times and international bestselling American author whose work has been broadly described as suspense thrillers, often incorporatin…

I was born in 1974 and you’ve heard me talk about my love of 80s music before. And why not? The 80s, in my humble opinion, was simply the greatest decade in American culture as far as the amount and quality of music created. That’s why I’m excited to bring you this exceptionally fun and inspiring conversation with Jim Daneker. Jim is an award-winning and Billboard-charting composer and producer who specializes in the bold, evocative, and memorable. In addition to 27 years as keyboardist, musical director, and producer for CCM icon Michael W. Smith, Jim has enjoyed a diverse musical caree…

I’ve always operated on the assumption that most of my listeners are introverts. If you don’t think of yourself as an introvert, that doesn’t make you less of a writer, of course. But I do believe most writers feel they get their energy from being alone, and that most of the time, being around people drains them. I certainly relate to that! Which is probably why I’m a full-time writer instead of some other job that requires me to spend time with people all day. One of the dilemmas you have to face as an introverted writer is knowing how to navigate conferences. While we recognize the i…

Today I’m bringing you an interview that will absolutely help you grow your impact and income, particularly if you’re a ghostwriter.
