So today we are talking with my buddy Tim Graal. Tim is a book marketing expert. The guy's been in the book marketing space for a long time. We talk a little bit about what it takes to make a book successful. And then we also talk about Tim's latest book. His book is called Running Down a Dream. And so we're going to be talking about how do you overcome doubts and insecurities and fears about running down that dream? I know for a lot of you, maybe you're dealing with some of that as it relates to being a speaker. You're wondering, maybe you have some of that imposter syndrome going like, who am I to be on stage? Why should I be a speaker? So we're going to talk that through and Tim has some great

thoughts to share on that. I'm also going to talk about how to find time to build a speaking business when you think you're too busy or you think that you don't have the time. So Tim shares some great insight. So I think you're going to get a lot from this. This is a great episode to kick off 2019. I will give you a fair warning if you're listening without headphones. And there's a few potty words in here.

So buckle up for that.

All right, let's get right into it.

Here's my conversation with Tim Grawl.
