Interview on Total Picture Radio

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Peter Clayton over at Total Picture Radio some weeks ago.  Peter is a great talent in many forms of media and I'm pleased that I could be a part of his program. 

If you feel so inclined, both Peter and I would appreciate you spreading the word through Digg, Del.icio.us!, Reddit! or Technorati!.  You''ll find those links at the bottom of the Total Picture page that corresponds with the interview.

You can listen to the interview here. 

The Traditional Book Publishing Quandary

Traditional book publishers are in a quandary.  I won't bore you with my thoughts on what I've learned since the release of my book Waking Up in Corporate America.  But one thing is clear, executives at traditional book publishers should consult their counterparts in the music business.  Their story is very similar.

I wrote late last year on the approach/expectations for my book.  You can read that post here.

Now comes a piece from Dave Balter (thanks, Guy for pointing out onTwitter) entitled How the Book Publishing Industry Should Reinvent Itself.  Dave's thoughts are informed and point to a different, if not better future, for authors and publishers.

The downside is change is never easy, and publishers are holding on tight to the old model.  Harper Collins seems to be bucking this trend, as evidenced by this article in the NY Times from earlier this year.

As an author, I'm encouraged by the trends.

Additions and Updates to Waking Up In Corporate America Site

We just made some additions and updates to the Waking Up site.  Here is a link to the Media Information page.  I am grateful to all of my subscribers who have referred me onto to outlets and organizations for engagements.

If you don't know about the other things I do to spread the ideas of Waking Up, you can go to the Epic Services header to the right of this post to learn more.  Better yet email me so we can begin the conversation.

OK, enough of the shameless plugs:)
