S5:E243 David interviews Kathy Meis, CEO of Bublish, the world’s first publishing platform with built-in AI enabled professional positioning, editing, design, production, branding and distribution. Kathy has been on the Pod twice before for E50 and E168 but has executed a major pivot to bublish.ai that enables scaling self publishing at lower cost but with greater control for authors. They've notched a few best sellers and some media rights contracts so Bublish may be on the launch pad to bigger things. (recorded 6.1.26)
