Show notes
Welcome to the Before The Bestseller Podcast
This show is for book lovers and creators who want to go behind the scenes with their favorite authors to hear about how they were able to not just write a book but create a movement.
- How did this author write a story that would resonate with thousands of people?
- How did they launch their book to the top of the Amazon, WSJ, and NYT charts?
- Did they have a following before the book or did they build it with the book?
- How did they get their readers to go one step further with them, to hire them as a coach, join their masterclass, or even just subscribe to their email list?
- What did they do that others should not waste their time on?
- How were they able to bring something so passionate to life when so many of us struggle to even find our passion?
- How can we take what they taught us, and apply it to our own journey towards a purposeful life?
These are just some of the questions you’ll be hearing from me as we dive into books like:
- Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
- The First 90 Days with Michael Watkins
- Dave Chesson on how he started writing books, became the go to person on amazon book optimization, and then launched a 7/8 figure software business from it
- Melissa Feick who built multiple 6-figure businesses onto the back of her book
- Hayden Crabtree who had no following but was financially free by the time he left college via real estate. He then built his following with his book, Skip the Flip

- Jon Spoelstra - sports marketing legend who had his forward written by MarK Cuban and now writes fiction books
- Chad Stewart who emailed every middle school teacher in the US to do a classroom visit and then also created an institute around his book to make it newsworthy. He’s just signed a movie deal.
- Steve Anderson who wrote The Bezos Letters, a WSJ bestselling book, that started off as just a lead magnet
- Mike Capuzzi who coined the term shook, a genius way for business owners to have a book
