About Donteacia

Eight years ago I was laid off from my job. The country was in the middle of a recession, and the government wasn't hiring.

After 2 months of trying to get a job without any luck, I began to feel that I would never get one. So I did what most do in that situation, I started a business. And I have to admit, I had the right contacts in place that for the first 5 or 6 months things went really well. ...and then the money dried up. I didn't have a plan in place to get new business. Hell, I didn't know how to get new business. In all honesty I didn't quite understand what it was I did exactly...and neither did anyone else. I created and organized events and raised money via sponsorship to pay for them. I would analyze the health of non-profits and small businesses and create strategic plans for them. I would do freelance work raising money for organizations. I built websites. I was hired to do some political consulting on a few campaigns. I updated resumes and built out LinkedIn pages. As you can see, I was all over the place. My single goal was to keep the lights on, and at times, even that was a struggle. ...but I survived, and sometimes even thrived. Fast forward to 2013 and I have this brilliant idea and decide I would create this awesome new product and launch it to the world. After quite a few stumbles and some major successes, I was able to exit that company in the black. I have gone on to coach hundreds of entrepreneurs, raise over $1M for their products and services, launch Founders Brunch, a bi-annual brunch where founders come from all over the country to fellowship around entrepreneurship, and become a start up mentor for the State of Florida. I've also launched a new program to help inventors build and launch their products. ...and sometimes I write the occasional engaging article for The Huffington Post.

Show notes

Susan Goebel:

☛WHAT I DO: I help Bioscience Experts leverage my network and expertise for guaranteed clarity in how to bring their vision to reality. ☛WHY IT MATTERS: Bringing a new technology or a new product to market is the stuff of which dreams are made. That’s the story that people who have never done it often tell themselves, but you can look around and see the remnants of failed businesses and bankrupt entrepreneurs. To bring something from an idea to reality you need the right plan, the right team, the right amount of funding, the right everything. You can definitely do this by finding the right people and building the right team. Easier said than done, the better option is to partner with a highly experienced and extremely successful mentor who can walk alongside you and give you the keys to success.

ILPS4e6- Husband and Wife Writing Duo Jason Feifer and Jennifer Miller Discuss Their Funny Yet Romantic Book, “Mr. Nice Guy” Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

The novel: Mr. Nice Guy

Purchase Here: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Nice-Guy-Jennifer-Miller/dp/1250189888

Release date: October 16, St. Martin's Press

In Brief: Each week, two writers named Lucas and Carmen are tasked with a excruciatingly public, often humiliating task: They must sleep together, and then critically review each other’s sexual performance in a magazine. This is about what happens when people are honest about the thing nobody’s ever totally honest about. The novel is written by two people who, as it so happens, have also slept together—married couple Jason Feifer (editor in chief, Entrepreneur magazine) and Jennifer Miller (novelist, The Year of the Gadfly). Which is to say, yes, a writer couple wrote about a writer couple with a very… complicated relationship.

Details about us / working together:

For Entrepreneur, Jason commissioned a survey of 1,007 people from SurveyMonkey Audience, asking them if they’ve worked with close friends, family, or spouses. 87% said yes, and 78% said it was a good experience. They also identified some of the most important ways to make it work, including: having distinct roles and responsibilities, allowing for constructive criticism, and setting aside nonword time to spend together. Good data to talk about for the show!

Jen and I met on OKCupid. She said yes to a date because I used a semicolon correctly in my first message to her. (That would feature prominently later: The New York Times wrote about our wedding, and its lede was “It all began with a semicolon.”)

We’ve always been comfortable working together. One of our first big challenges while dating was when Jen asked me to edit her first novel. Definitely a make-or-break moment for an early relationship. (I said yes; we survived, and it was published.)

The idea for Mr. Nice Guy started with me in my 20s. A sex columnist had reached out to me asking for writing advice, and we started up a correspondence. That sparked the idea: What would happen if two people had to regularly have sex and then review each other?

I tried to write the novel for years, but failed each time. I’m a non-fiction guy. I just didn’t know how to do fiction. But then I married a novelist. After Jen sold her most recent novel a few years ago, she asked me what I thought her next project should be. “You should write my novel, because I’m never going to do it,” I said. “We should do it together,” she said. And so, it began.

It took us three years to write—plotting over dinner, during vacations, writing on nights and weekends and early mornings. We split up the actual writing: Jen wrote the majority of the story, I wrote the columns and some selected scenes, and then we edited each other’s work.

The book-marketing and selling process always turns Jen into an anxious wreck. She says the only reason she’s holding it together this time is because she wrote it with me.
