As I’ve mentioned before here on the podcast, one of the big benefits of hosting your own show is that it gives you the opportunity to talk to really cool people! Today’s episode is no exception. I’m excited to bring you my conversation with the amazing Ginny Owens. I was introduced to her music back in 1999 with her album Without Condition, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Ginny Owens has spent the past two decades sharing her heart with listeners and readers as a singer/songwriter, author, teacher, and advocate. Her unique musical style and inspirational lyrics have transcended genre definition and taken her to diverse venues that include the White House, the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the National Day of Prayer in Washington, D.C. Ginny has also been an adjunct professor at her alma mater, Belmont University, served as a worship leader, partnered with non-profits, and authored two books, the latest of which is Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture. She also just released h

One of the universal truths of doing anything worthwhile is that you will feel like giving up at times. We all know that writing is hard work. But that’s only part of it. There’s the marketing, the business side, the relationship building, and so many other elements of running a writing business that can sap your energy. When things don’t go the way you planned, it’s easy to quit… unless you’ve decided ahead of time that you’re going to stick it out and persevere. That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to my friend Chris Bystriansky, who recently released his book, New Steel: Replace Doubt and Fear with Resolve and Courage: From Two Hip Replacements to Two Triathlon Finishes. Chris tells the story of going through a major health challenge, then going on to finish not just one, but two, triathlons. Chris is a husband, father, real estate investor, attorney, author, speaker, coach, IRONMAN, golfer, traveler, and much more. He has a BA in Psychology from Illinois Wesleyan University, a law degree from the Unive

As a ghostwriter and author coach, I talk to a lot of writers. Whether someone has already written a book, or they’re considering writing their first one, I hear something like these phrases quite often: I’m stuck. I don’t know what to write about. I don’t know how to get started. When you get stuck in the “writer’s vortex,” it can feel debilitating with no clear way of escape. Thankfully, my guest today has a fantastic, brand-new resource to help both aspiring and seasoned authors alike. Her name is Honorée Corder, and this past Monday, she released her newest book, There is No Such Thing as Writer's Block: You Can Unleash Your Inner Prolific Writer. You’ve probably heard Honorée on the podcast before, and she’s made multiple appearances here for a good reason: she’s not only a good friend, but also my business coach, and leader of the Empire Builders Mastermind, which has been an awesome resource for me the last couple of years. Honorée Corder is the author of dozens of books, including: You Must Write a
