So I have a great honor and pleasure to have Tom Corson Knowles on the show today because

there's a really cool subject because let me tell you this. I really began to transform my

business when I actually had a published book. Okay. So I'm so excited to have Tom here because

So he knows a lot about book publishing, whether it be self-publishing and obviously publishing your potential book
