Today my special guest is Calvin Simpson. This is my second episode with Calvin; you can check out our first fireside chat together here.
As you’ve noticed in the past few episodes, the conversations I’m having are around growing your personal brand as a means to attract clients to your business. In my personal journey, one of the ways I’ve done that by publishing a book about my story.
In this episode we are going to talk about self-publishing, and if you want some inspiration to help you share your story - stick around.
