Join me as I chat with Steve Sims, the author of "Bluefishing" and "Go For Stupid," about traditional book publishing. During this interview, we discuss Steve's experience with publishing his first two books, what he learned from book one to book two, and the mistakes he made with his first book when traditionally publishing.

Steve also shares why he chose self-publishing for his second book and which publishing path he plans to take moving forward. We also talk about the pros and cons of recording your audiobook, with Steve sharing his personal experience of it being the worst day of his life.

In addition, we delve into how to use your book to grow your speaking business and author-ity, what "Go For Stupid" means, and how you can use it to be more successful as an author. We also discuss how to be authentic in your life and with your book.

This episode is packed with valuable insights and humor, and you don't want to miss out. If you're interested in traditional book publishing, Steve's experiences and advice will be sure to entertain and inform you.
