Summary
This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & selfpublishing.com LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a no-BS masterclass on books as business assets with Chandler Bolt, the college dropout who ran a six-figure painting business before founding selfpublishing.com. The company has helped over 10,000 authors publish their books, hit $80 million in revenue, and landed on the INC 5000 four consecutive years running as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America — all while chasing a mission to help 100,000 people self-publish by 2035. Chandler breaks down why a book is the best 200-page sales letter you'll ever write, the "dirty secret" of the publishing industry that keeps authors broke, and how HVAC guys, landscapers, and CEOs alike can reverse-engineer a book into six or seven figures in new customers. If you've got a business and no book, you're leaving money on the table — this episode hands you the blueprint to fix that.
