  • Knowing When to Walk Away
    Oct 22 2020
    Knowing When to Walk Away

    As The Career Author podcast winds down, we’re reminded of how difficult it can be to avoid sunk cost fallacy and remove things that have been a big part of our lives for so long. Whether it's a relationship, business deal, friendship, or podcast, walking away is never easy but sometimes necessary and inevitable.


    In this candid conversation, J. and Zach discuss reasons why you might want to walk away from a project and suggestions on how to move through what can be an emotional and stressful transition.


    The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author.


    Also, J. recommends a little book to help you know when to walk away.

  • ADVANTAGE with Joe Solari
    Oct 15 2020
    ADVANTAGE with Joe Solari

    We’re all looking for an advantage as it gets more challenging to find and retain readers. In a rare interview episode, the guys invite Joe Solari on the show to discuss how you can harness a cumulative advantage in the winner takes all publishing market.


    From Amazon.com:

    The top 2.5% of high performing authors…

    …earn 64% of the book profits.

    How do they do it?


    We are in the golden age for authors. The gatekeepers are gone. The books and novels that have been buried on your “Bucket List” can be brought to life. Nobody can tell you, “No!”


    It’s not even that hard.


    Getting the readers, well, that’s where we all need help.


    What are the KEY PRINCIPLES?


    Joe Solari has experience from 20-years as an entrepreneur and in 2016 began to help authors get to six and seven figures. It became his passion. He understands the engine that drives success.


    Are you willing to learn the power of cumulative advantage?


    He has shown that not only can cumulative advantage be systematized, but a unique flavor is possible for every author. This professionally researched book contains never before seen data on just how demand works in publishing and how the top authors become best sellers.


    Are you ready?


    You’ll love this road map to finding readers, because the world is a vast social place and knowing how it works can make all the difference.


    The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author.
