If you've ever wondered if writing a book is worth it, this is the conversation you should listen to!

What's the point of working hard on creating content that few people get the chance to see? Put it in a book! Video is impactful. But written content is enduring. Books help preserve the validity of your content and extend its reach to places you can't imagine!

No one knows that better than my guest, Antionette Blake! An avid blogger, podcaster, and author, Antionette shared so many gems in this episode... she even made me sing, y'all!

Our conversation covered:

• How a book can be better than a business card

• Creating opportunities for yourself in today’s job market and beyond

• Transforming course content into a book

• Why blogging and having your own website is still important today

• Why written content is the most valuable type of content online

• Grassroots book-selling tactics

• Impacting lives and leaving your legacy
