Jan 13, 202200:10:52Tap to summarizeIt's been a while since I've published a new podcast or YouTube video. I've been busy growing Self Publishing School. At Self Publishing School, we've been changing lives through books, and I have an announcement that's really exciting. I just published a brand new book, and I'm going to tell you how to get it for free. I've been blown away by the comments and responses to these videos and podcasts. I'd just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the people who have reached out. My new book is the second edition of my top selling book of all time. It's called Published.: The Proven Path From Blank Page To 10,000 Copies Sold. The first edition of this book has been sold and downloaded hundreds of thousands of times since its release in 2016. Self Publishing School has helped about 6000 people write and publish a book since our inception in 2015. A lot of our content and curriculum has gotten better, but the first edition of Published stayed the same. I decided to write an all-new version as the second edition. The goal is to drop the mic on the topic and create the only book you will ever need if you're interested in writing a quality book that sells copies. You can get a free physical copy at PublishedBook.com/Free or an audio copy at PublishedBook.com/Audible. Show Highlights: [05:03] The book goes through all of the essentials to write and publish a book. It also includes exclusive content on how to launch your book and what to do after your launch. [06:09] I also have an entire chapter on how to use a book to grow your business. You can learn all about my launch including behind the scenes at the Self Publishing School Podcast.

Jun 29, 202100:15:58Tap to summarizeIf you're listening to this episode chances are you have just been offered equity in the company you are working for or planning to work for. My intention with this episode is to prepare you for the questions to ask and how to value this offer. Standards and Pitfalls to consider when weighing an equity offer: 1. Think of points as a percentage 2. Vesting schedule 3. Double the time and ¼ the value Questions to ask yourself when thinking about accepting an equity offer: 1. Has this founder exited before 2. How long is the vesting schedule 3. Likelihood of an exit and your dilution 4. Product market fit? 5. Do I want to be here for 5 - 10 years? 6. Worst and best case scenario? I hope this episode helps to give you a little more insight into what equity is and what the outcome typically ends up being.
