Summary
Many of us have faced insurmountable challenges in life where we almost gave up, but we didn’t. Kimanzi Constable delivered bread for 12 years but he had to wake up in the middle of the night to start his work. He wrote a journal about the experiences of those 12 years that turned into his first book, “The Tales of Everyday Working Man and Woman.” Like most authors, he needed to sell his book but figured that guesting on podcasts is one way of achieving this, as well as learn the basics of SEO. Kimanzi shares that to become a writer for Fortune or Entrepreneur Inc., you don’t need to be an expert, you just have to show people that you do know what you’re talking about in your topic.
