🌴194. How to fearlessly hit Publish feat. Alan Weiss (Weekend Rewind)
Hey, friends! Welcome to Talk The Walk — and this one’s for all the writers, podcasters, LinkedIn post-drafters, and idea hoarders who know they have something to say… but just can’t seem to hit publish.
In this live episode, I’m joined (as always) by my favorite co-host Alan Weiss — the guy with 54 books (and counting), multiple bestsellers, and absolutely zero fear when it comes to shipping his ideas out into the world.
We explore:
Why publishing anything (from blog to book) is a credibility game-changerThe surprising difference between a daily podcast and a book — and why one of my clients only booked me after reading the latterWhere fear really comes from (and how to trick your brain into writing anyway)The difference between writing to impress vs. writing to expressWhy Alan never writes for his audience — and still keeps them hookedHow train crashes, robins, and even breaking up with your barista can spark powerful IPIf you've ever stared at a draft and wondered, "Is this any good?" — this one’s for you.
📚 BONUS: Alan also shares how he landed paid gigs from books that didn’t even sell well — because the right people read them.
🎧 Hit play, and remember: done is better than perfect.
