Join us for a captivating conversation with Michael Hoek, the mastermind behind "The Girl Who Changed the World" and co-founder of It All Makes Sense. Michael shares his unique journey of choosing fiction over non-fiction to relay the profound insights he gained from devouring over 2,000 books about life and the universe. His novel, a "management book in disguise," appeals to readers across all ages and professions, weaving storytelling with vital life lessons. You'll gain an insider's perspective on Michael's transition from the European to the U.S. publishing scene and the unexpected hurdles he faced along the way.

Michael's story isn't just about words on a page; it's an adventure filled with cultural challenges and unexpected encounters with the law. If you've ever wondered what it's like to self-publish a bestseller in a new country, Michael's experiences will enlighten you. He delves into the complexities of translation, distribution, and the importance of having the right partners to navigate unfamiliar terrains. Through his trials, Michael reveals the strategic importance of starting locally, understanding language barriers, and forming alliances that can propel a book to success.

Our discussion takes a reflective turn as we explore Michael's personal mission to balance masculine and feminine energies through his narrative. Drawing inspiration from cultural phenomena like "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," the book challenges conventional power dynamics and societal norms. Michael emphasizes the importance of being coachable, valuing mentorship, and embracing feedback. We wrap up with practical tips for book promotion, emphasizing the role of reviews, podcasts, and Amazon ads in expanding a book's reach. Follow Michael's inspiring journey and discover how one book can indeed change the world.
