insightful conversations for authors and entrepreneurs
I really enjoyed the episode with Matthew Lynn: Journalist and Author Turned Publishing Entrepreneur. His story about navigating rejections, embracing digital publishing, and building new opportunities from a back catalogue resonated with me as an author who also thinks about the business side of books. That’s what makes this show stand out — it highlights not only big ideas but also the practical realities of being an author and entrepreneur. Each episode leaves me with fresh insight and inspir... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

César A. Hidalgo, "The Infinite Alphabet: And the Laws of Knowledge" (Allen Lane, 2026)

Q: What are practical policy implications for governments trying to foster innovation?

Policies should foster capitalization dynamics that invest in people and knowledge generation rather than only infrastructure; endowment-style funding for chairs and researcher mobility can be more effective than one-off large projects.

Helmut Schuster and David Oxley, "Artificial Death of a Career: A Tale of Professional Obsolescence and How to Avoid It" (Practical Inspiration Publishing, 2025)

Q: What is the core aim for readers, especially young professionals, in navigating career transitions and reinvention?

The books aim to act like a virtual coach, posing thoughtful questions and presenting stories that help readers anticipate change, reflect, and take proactive steps to reinvent themselves rather than wait for a crisis.

Helmut Schuster and David Oxley, "Artificial Death of a Career: A Tale of Professional Obsolescence and How to Avoid It" (Practical Inspiration Publishing, 2025)

Q: How do you manage writing between two people living on different sides of the world?

They explain that collaboration leverages complementary strengths, with one driving narrative energy and the other shaping structure, leading to a dynamic, iterative process that keeps the work engaging and coherent.

Helmut Schuster and David Oxley, "Artificial Death of a Career: A Tale of Professional Obsolescence and How to Avoid It" (Practical Inspiration Publishing, 2025)

Q: First of all, how did the idea for writing these books come about given your backgrounds in startups and corporate life?

The authors describe a shared realization during a blueberry breakfast during the pandemic that they could combine fiction with career guidance to offer an entertaining, memorable way to learn and avoid common professional mistakes.

Entrepreneurial Work Ethic

Q: Would you mind introducing yourself to our listeners?

Erik Baker explains his background as a Harvard historian and editor, outlines his new book Make Your Own Job, and clarifies what he means by the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic before diving into its historical development.
