From doing his first interview (with George Carlin) to his sharing dating tips as “Jake” for Glamour magazine to his stint as an editor at Entrepreneur magazine to his experience interviewing hundreds of writers on his Write About Now podcast, Small has been a fly-on-the-wall for many failure-to-success stories.Now he's released a book made up of the origin stories of some of the writers he's interviewed, which I'm proud to say Legacy Launch Pad has published.

There was a time where you couldn't walk down the street without seeing someone sporting a SpiritualGangster t-shirt. (Please note: that time hasn't really passed.) Well, the shirt that epitomized the spiritual seeker who was also cool was the brain child of former lawyer and yoga teacher Ian Lopatin. Despite the fact that the brand he and his wife started by making t-shirts out of their garage mushroomed into a $30 million business, their success was far from a straight line—as Lopatin shares in this episode, there were many failures along the way. But Spiritual Gangster has never been so much a clothing company as it is an ethos—one that Lopatin embodies. And now he's helping those who have achieved it all but still find themselves in a place of lack discovering how they can get out of the achievement game and into a life of true fulfillment. We dove into everything from the glory failure can bring when you embrace it, how being “energy rich” brings you everything and the way failure comes from fear and attachment.

Darren Prince holds a special place in my heart. Not only is he a powerhouse (you'll read more about that in a second) but he was also Legacy Launch Pad's first client—AKA the reason this company even exists. See, many years ago when Darren and I met, we both knew he needed to write a book. The thing is, he needed a publishing company. The short version of the story is that I built one for the sole purpose of launching his book. I had no idea it would turn into what it has today. And I owe it to him. To be clear, the dude was no slouch when he first came to me. A prominent sports agent who already represented people like Magic Johnson and Hulk Hogan, he'd had a powerful experience overcoming addiction and wanted to help others in that world. We did his book, Aiming High, with that in mind. His addiction story is beyond brutal, and it started with a need to escape, in part because of the teasing he got when he was little. (But don't worry about that; those teasers ended up working for him.) What Darren has turned his book into blows my mind. It will blow yours too if you listen to this one.For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.

Then he became one of the top salespeople at Cutco Cutlery. Then, in 1989 he was struck a drunker drive and broke 11 bones, suffered permanent brain damage, and was found dead. His heart stopped beating for 6 long minutes. Six days later, he woke up from a coma to be told he would probably never walk again. Then, in 2007, he lost everything and used a morning ritual to get his hope back. That ritual turned into The Miracle Morning, which has sold over 2.5 million copies and started a global movement. All good, right? Um, then he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and given a 20-30% chance of surviving. Anyway, he beat cancer, and has gone back to world conquering. So if anyone can talk about failing their way to success, it's this guy. If this episode doesn't inspire you, it's safe to say nothing could. For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.

Laura Spaulding has not had a standard road to success. She went into the military in the early 90s because she was homeless and wanted to go to college. After college, she became a cop in the Midwest. And then, solely because she wanted to earn overtime, she agreed to work undercover pretending to be a sex worker. That led into undercover work busting drug dealers. From there it led to a crime scene clean-up business, then a crime scene cleanup business that also flips the real estate where the crime took place and then a franchise. Have I mentioned the $30 million real estate portfolio or the millions of social media subscribers? Well, it's all in this episode—along with her tips for bouncing back from failure.For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.

Have you ever considered writing a book to help you stand out as an authority in your industry? You are not alone! This week, I'm joined by best selling author of the book "On Good Authority" to discuss all things writing, publishing, and authority-building. Anna is sharing the industry secrets behind publishing a book that will truly increase your credibility and help you stand out as an expert in what you do.    Anna David is the New York Times bestselling author of eight books and the founder and CEO of Legacy Launch Pad Publishing. She's been published in the New York Times, Time, LA Times, Vanity Fair, Playboy, Vice, Cosmo, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Salon, among many others, written about in Forbes, Martha Stewart Living, Entrepreneur, Allure and Women's Health and has appeared repeatedly on Today, The Talk, Good Morning America and numerous other programs. A featured speaker at three different TedX events and the book critic for KATU TV/Portland, Anna hosts the On Good Authority podcast, which has featured interviews with authors such as Robert Greene and Chris Voss. Her first book, Party Girl, is in development as a film tentatively scheduled to be shot in 2023. She lives in Hollywood, California with her boyfriend, filmmaker Jim Agnew, their newborn son Benjamin and their cranky-looking cat Bernie. In this episode, we cover… Why building authority with a book is a better goal than making a lot of money directly The importance of choosing a book topic that is right for you and your audience The realities of traditional publishing (and why it's not always a viable path) How a published book can help sell your services Why you should consider working with a professional writer Strategies to launch your book and keep it selling   Quotes "I ended up realizing that though my books made me almost no money, even the one that was the New York Times bestseller, they gave me great authority." "Without organization, without knowledge of how it's done, people can just write themselves into a hole and they'll have a thousand pages that don't make sense or they'll have gone off in this direction or that direction. Book writing is one of these bizarre things because we've all read books and so people and everyone can talk and so they think, well, I'm a really good talker so I would be able to do this and it's just an entirely different skill"   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned: Anna's Website Anna's Instagram Anna's LinkedIn Anna's Book Launch Blueprint

Anna David is the Founder of Legacy Launch Pad Publishing, a company that publishes books for seven-figure entrepreneurs. She is an eight-time New York Times best-selling author who's been writing and publishing books for decades and hosts the On Good Authority Podcast. Anna has done TED Talks and has been on Good Morning America, Today, The Talk, and dozens of other programs. She has written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Time, Playboy, and The Huffington Post, among many other publications.  In this episode… Want to establish yourself as an authority in your industry? Have you considered doing so by writing and publishing a book?  According to Anna David, you can build your business with a book. One key point to note is that the various challenges of book publishing often require help from experts — especially if you've never published a book before. However, many publishing companies promise the world but fail to deliver, leaving authors with subpar books and a sense of regret — as was the case for Anna. After decades in the traditional publishing world, she created a publishing company to help brilliant business owners write and launch authority-establishing books that leave a legacy. Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz as he welcomes Anna David, the Founder of Legacy Launch Pad Publishing. Anna shares her journey as an author and how she helps entrepreneurs build authority through books. She also explains the path to book publication, common mistakes people make, and tips for launching your book and creating a lasting legacy.
