It’s story time! In 2017, I published my first book, Sh#t Your Ego Says, with Hay House. At the time, I had no audience or marketing platform whatsoever. I probably had a couple hundred Instagram followers, all of whom were friends and family. I had yet to make a single meme. I was a complete unknown. So how was I able to sign a book deal with one of the most famous self-help publishers? Honestly, it’s an adventure story. There’s no template. You can’t get there by following someone else’s path. My story involves taking risks, moving across the country, failing, becoming homeless, and eventually finding a way that was fully and authentically mine. In this episode I share my story and drop some of the hard-earned clues that were essential along my journey.
