Today on the podcast Mitko (@mitkoka) is joined by Jodie Cook (@cookiewhirls) an entrepreneur, author, course creator, AND competitive powerlifter. Jodie is the author of the new book - The 10 Year Career which lays out a framework for entrepreneurs to take them from beginner to selling the business, what you can expect across that journey and what you should be focusing on in each stage. And on this topic, Jodie is speaking from experience, because she wrote this book while she was in the process of selling her social media management agency which was a 7-figure exit. Jodie has written a number of other books including a series focused on raising entrepreneurial children and she is a frequent contributor to Forbes where she writes on the topic of entrepreneurship.

During this wide-ranging conversation, Jodie and Mitko discussed how she is able to do so many different things at such a high level, why she sold her business and the framework behind her new book The 10 Year Career, why writing is such a powerful practice for entrepreneurs, how to write for publications like Forbes, and much much more.
