Ep 116: From Book to Audiobook: What No One Tells You. Miish Grixti Has The Mic.
Season 3 · Ep 116
About this episode
Three months ago, The Shake Up book landed in the world. And what a three months it's been.
I didn't know what to expect when I put that book out...
Honestly, I half convinced myself only my mum would read it.
But then the messages started coming in - from people I know, people I don't, and one lady in Spain (still can't get over that one). And somewhere in the middle of launch week, an email landed in my inbox from someone offering to come on the podcast and interview me about the book at the three-month mark.
That person was Miish Grixti. And that email is one of the nicest things anyone has ever offered to do for me.
I met Miish about four years ago at a business workshop in Brisbane - and the moment you meet her, you just can't help but love her.
She's warm, she's real, she's the kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever.
She's also a creative strategist and coach who helps business owners shape and sell their work - especially when they're too close to it to see it clearly.
She's the founder of WriteLikeYou.app and has spent the past eight years helping coaches, creators, authors and personal brands close the gap between how good their work is and how well it actually lands. Oh - and she lives on a dairy farm in northwest Tasmania surrounded by rolling green hills and 500 cows.
Today, I handed her the mic. And she asked me everything... eeeekk...
In this episode we talk about:
What the past three months of having a book in the world has actually felt like - the messages, the surprises, the moments that stopped me in my tracks
The writing process - how I wrote The Shake Up in three focused weeks and why I couldn't have done it any other way
The audiobook - what I thought it would be like vs what it actually was (spoiler: sweat. so much sweat.)
What I'd do differently if I launched it again
What's next - including a hint at book two (and three) and who it's for
