Interview Highlights

There is 1 way to know if your writing us good and that's if people who don't know you and don't care about you read it and recommend it to their friends.

Quality is not measured by how beautiful your sentence is. The quality of your writing is measured by how may people take value from it.

There is no such thing as a strategy that works all the time.

If you're an author and you think that selling a lot of books will change your life and will solve all your problems and make everything better and complete you as a person - it won't.

All that money does is make you a bigger version of whatever you were before.
