Edward Gibbon was one of the most famous historians of all time. As the author of the six-volume set, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he showed the world that history could be informative and entertaining, all while making the ancient world accessible to the contemporary reader.

When he started work on the books, he did not necessarily have this end goal in mind. In fact, he once said, “Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.”

On this episode, Kent shares that the key to your success as a writer is not your formal education, your title, or the approval of others—it’s your resolve to just do it.
