Hey, Chandler Bolt here and welcome to a special bonus episode of the Self Publishing School

podcast. This podcast is all about making a huge announcement. So today is about making a huge

announcement. Maybe you saw it or

heard it in the interview last week between me and Matthew Emery, where I got interviewed about

all the biggest lessons learned from scaling self-publishing school over the last eight years.

And we tease that announcement. We made that announcement. But in this episode, I want to break

it down in a lot more detail. All right. So we're going to talk about the future of publishing and the biggest announcement in

self-publishing school history.

Now, if you're listening on the podcast, that's awesome.

If you prefer a more visual route, this is also available on the YouTube channel.

And there's some slides, there's some visuals that'll hopefully make this announcement more impactful.

So let's dive in. Why are we here? Why are we doing this episode? Well, obviously, because we've got

a huge announcement, but also why we exist at self-publishing school. So we exist for two fundamental

reasons. You've probably heard me talk about this. Maybe you've read about it in my new

book published. But there's two kind of core principles that drive why we do what we do. So number

one, we believe that books change lives, right? If you're listening to or watching this,

you have probably had your life changed by reading a book. If you have it, you need to read more.

So books change the lives of readers, but they also change the lives of authors. We always say

it's not about the book. It's about who you become in the process of writing and publishing that book.

So books change lives, that's first and foremost. But then we also

believe in leveraged impact. All right. So leveraged impact says that, hey, when I create this book,

this book's going to go on to impact thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even millions of people.
