Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
A leader in Experiential Marketing, I’ve developed hundreds of campaigns including two award winning, nationally recognized marketing campaigns for a Fortune 500 client. As a widely sought after writer and speaker, I have presented at several universities, national conferences (SXSW, CES, AdTech, BlogWorld, etc.) and hundreds of other events. My presentations offer insightful, educational content to businesses and organizations on marketing campaign development.
I am the author of The Ultimate Guide to Startup Success. This is his only published book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Ultimate Guide to Startup Success. After successfully starting a handful of small businesses, I am often asked to provide advice on how one can start their own business. With this book, I went one step further and provided a detailed guide on how a person can start their very own business. With those folks who have some experience, interviews with more than a dozen professionals provides additional advice.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if this is unusual, but I usually start writing at 5:30AM, so I can get as much accomplished as I can before I got into work at 8AM.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I can’t say that any business category books have influenced me greatly, but personally, I found great joy in these:
The Northern Clemency
Philip Hensher
The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story
Diane Ackerman
My Life in France
Julia Child
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: A Novel
Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer
What are you working on now?
I currently work full time, but also am the owner of The Art of Yoga (http://artofyogastudios.com) as well as two food trucks in Columbus, Ohio. I’m excited about my next forthcoming book, on how businesses and brands can engage consumers with Experiential Marketing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My book is only published on Amazon. I’m still learning how to be best promote the title!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
“Done is better than perfect.”
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up what you want most for what you want now.
What are you reading now?
A handful of book and blogs on marketing, part of the research for my forthcoming book.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m currently working on a book about Experiential Marketing. It’s the field that I work in professionally, so I expect that it to be an insightful guide for those interested in this category of marketing.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Probably nothing from the business category! I’m on an island after all. I absolutely would take anything from Adriana Trigiani or Junot Diaz.
