In this episode of SPEAKPact, Antoniette Roze interviews Tyler Wagner, CEO and Founder of Authors Unite, exploring his journey from college dropout to becoming a best-selling author and successful entrepreneur. Wagner shares his influential reading of 'The 4-Hour Work Week' by Tim Ferris, which propelled him into the world of entrepreneurship and public speaking. Realizing the significance of being an author for gaining credibility as a speaker, he authored his book 'Conference Crushing,' leading to paid speaking opportunities and eventually the establishment of Authors Unite. Tyler and the host discuss the synergistic relationship between authorship and speaking, the process of becoming a best-selling author, and the business model behind Authors Unite. They delve into the mechanics of achieving bestseller status, highlighting the importance of third-party validation like TEDx talks and leveraging podcasts for marketing. The episode emphasizes that the primary ROI from writing a book comes not from book sales but from the opportunities it opens up for speaking engagements, consulting, and beyond.
