Business
Welcome to the Books, Brands, and Business podcast with your host, Chris O’Byrne, from JETLAUNCH.net. My guest today is Charlie Gilkey, the founder of Productive Flourishing, a company that helps professional creatives, leaders, and changemakers take meaningful action on work that matters. He is internationally recognized as a thought leader on productivity, planning, strategy, and leadership for creative people.Charlie is the author of Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done (published by Sounds True) and The Small Business Life Cycle (designed and published by my company, JETLAUNCH). He is widely cited in media outlets including Inc., Time, Forbes, the Guardian, Lifehacker, and more. He’s also an Army veteran and near-PhD in philosophy.I especially love this interview because we talk quite a bit about his experience working with a traditional publisher and some of the reasons why you might want to consider taking that route, even though I’m a strong advocate for self-publishing.Charlie also goes into a lot of detail about his launch process, which I think you’ll find invaluable. If you want to be part of a tight-knit community of people learning how to make money with their books, join my FB group at jetlaunch.link/group.
