S1 Ep885: What does it mean to Retire with Purpose? Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

Casey Weade is a trailblazer in the financial industry. I love his outlook on jobs and retirement. Check out my recent interview with him on the Unhackable Livestream, talking about his upcoming book Job Optional as well as his Retire with Purpose Podcast. Interestingly, for a book about money, the first recommended step in financial planning has nothing to do with the stock market or annuities, but the need for an individual to have a life purpose. One's goal should be to identify this purpose and to create a plan set out to organize your assets in such a way to most efficiently accomplish that end. Once this has been decided, the next step is into the world of finance.

S1 Ep881: Book Publishing Trends You Need to Know Dec 10, 2020

Book publishing has changed a lot since I published my first book in 2004. Tom Dean, who has worked with some of the biggest publishers in the world and helped many New York Times Bestselling Authors and I talk about some of those changes, including the ebook craze, the audiobook phenomenon and the drastic shift in the retail landscape. Rather than book retail being predominantly bricks and mortar bookstores, it's now dominated by Amazon - the 24/7 bookstore. So how should an author adapt to these changes to get the most impact for their book? Join us as we talk about Kindle Unlimisted, KDP Select, setting your price points and more.
