  • About Alison, her background, and her work in the world. 
  • What it’s like working with a “Big Five” publisher and how Alison achieved that.  
  • Some of the perks that come with working with a “Big Five” publisher and some of the misconceptions people have about it. 
  • Alison’s understanding of what it means to be “killing it” with her release so far, as well as Becky’s perspective. 
  • Some of the most impactful approaches Alison has implemented on the path to selling nearly 50,000 books and seeing her speaking fees rise. 
  • The most fun part of the journey for Alison.
  • What Alison learned about mobilizing her network through the process of launching her book.
