If there’s one thing I’ve gotten out of Alex’s podcast, it’s practical tools and ways to sell more books. It works!
This is an exceptional podcast. Alex provides excellent insights for any non fiction author looking to grow their audience. He interviews some great guest and I always get at least one or two useful take aways to action from each episode.
I write in the self-help genre and can’t recommend this enough.
