Two years ago, I first interviewed Elise Blaha Cripe about how she developed her career as a creative professional. Her new book is about to be published, Big Dreams, Daily Joys: A Step-by-Step Guide to Crushing Your Goals, so I reached out to her to discuss the process of writing and launching her book, and the advice she has for making creative goals a part of your every day life.

In this episode, psychologist and author Kelly McGonigal is going to share with you a radically different vision of what it means for an author to connect with readers and prepare for a book launch. Her new book, The Joy of Movement, comes out in December, and she shares specifics on what she is doing and why. She also shares what having a viral TED talk with twenty million views, did (and didn't) do for her career. Oh, she will also explain why she turned down an invitation from Richard Branson!

Bestselling author Jennifer Louden is about to upend your idea of what success as a writer looks like. She's been a bestseller, she's been on Oprah, and she's been a successful author for more than 25 years. But the wisdom she picked up along the way will surprise you. We dig into topics of book marketing, navigating your writing career, the creative process and so much more.

All I do all day is talk to writers and creators about what to create, how to get it done, and how to connect it with people who care. Today I want to discuss the essential first ingredient: creative clarity. I'll share some resources for how to instill your process with radical clarity.
