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:

• Transforming course content into a book

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