Have you ever listened to a podcast and felt as if you were eavesdropping on a private conversation? But, you were learning so much, you ordered another drink and kept listening, hoping they would not notice you leaning closer to them? Well, this week’s Self-Publishing School podcast with Ryan Hawk felt just like that.

Ryan Hawk is the host of the Learning Leader Show (podcast — warning, if you go to the webpage, there is a bit of blank space on the page, scroll down to see the episodes) and author of Welcome to Management and his newest book, The Pursuit of Excellence. This episode is like a mini master class on launching your book. If you haven’t done so yet, you will want to grab a copy of Chandler’s recently updated book Published. Lots of very helpful references in this podcast.

Biggest takeaways (drop your comment and let me know what yours’ is)

Ryan wrote his first book because it was the biggest pain point of his career. It was the book he wished he would have had to keep him from making all the mistakes he made. And just like Chandler and so many of his other guests, people kept asking him the same questions, so he wrote the book for them.
