Richard is a leader in the computer industry, serving as Vice President of Consulting at Software Techniques and Beck Computer Systems before settling down as Director of Computer Operations at Trader Joe's. During his twenty-year tenure at that esteemed company, he focused on computer security and preparing for the possibility of disaster. In addition to creating hundreds of articles for the web and blogs, Richard actively works as a professional ghostwriter. In that role, he has completed books on a wide variety of subjects including memoirs, business volumes, and novels.

With over two decades of experience covering technology, Pete shares his insights on how AI is transforming media, journalism and discusses  how journalists can embrace AI as a tool to enhance their work to adapt and thrive in this new environment. QUOTESPETE PACHAL: AI is something that you control. I know, it feels like it's a wave that's coming over that it's unstoppable, inevitable. And that's true to a large extent. But at the same time, it's not, there's no there, right? There's no spark, there's no intent. (...) Never relinquish your role as the ultimate creator and person responsible for what's coming out of this thing.CHARNA PARKEY: I think that there was a point where I found myself shifting more away from media and towards individual curated newsletters because like subject matter experts in that area, I could be like maybe they're going to summarize it incorrectly, et cetera. But at least I know my theory of mind of that individual. And then when I expand that to media, I don't know who's writing what and who's shadow writing what for who.TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Introduction of Pete Pachal and his background in journalism and AI.00:02:00 - Pete's career journey, including his work at CoinDesk and founding The Media Copilot.00:04:00 - AI training for media professionals (journalists, PR, marketers).00:06:00 - Evolution of AI in journalism: From skepticism to ethical frameworks.00:08:00 - AI in content pipelines: Idea generation vs. post-production tasks.00:10:00 - Open-source builders needing to cater to domain experts (e.g., journalists).00:12:00 - Meta's removal of fact-checking and its implications.00:16:00 - Public tolerance for AI errors (e.g., Apple's AI summaries).00:18:00 - Consumer trust shifts away from platforms like Facebook/X.00:22:00 - Ghostwriting vs. authenticity in AI-generated content.00:24:00 - Preference for human-curated newsletters over AI summaries.00:26:00 - AI in news digests (e.g., Perplexity, Alexa).00:28:00 - Publisher AI experiments (Washington Post chatbot, TIME summaries).00:32:00 - AI's impact on click-through rates and publisher economics.00:34:00 - AI-written articles (e.g., ESPN's use case) and copyright issues.00:36:00 - Legal battles over AI training data (NYT vs. OpenAI).00:38:00 - Copyright concerns with AI-generated outputs.00:40:00 - AI search tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT) and publisher licensing deals.00:46:00 - The unhealthy impact of social media trends on journalism.00:48:00 - Post-interview discussion: Accountability in AI and media.00:56:00 - Leo's perspective as a journalist on AI adoption.00:58:00 - Closing thoughts on balancing AI innovation with industry needs.

This week on the podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my sweet friend, Char Huskins! Char has been in the online world for 28 years, and her love for helping women share their stories through blogging shines so brightly. We dive deep into why blogging still matters, how to set your blog up for success, and what to do if you're overwhelmed trying to piece it all together yourself. If you've ever wondered whether blogging is worth it—or if you're dreaming of launching (or revamping) your own site—this episode is for you. Char's Journey: From Early Website Design to Helping Women Share Their Stories Char first entered the website world long before blogging was even a thing. As blogging evolved, she fell in love with WordPress and the idea of helping women find their voice online. Today, she specializes in building beautiful, customized websites and blogs that allow creatives to not just show up online, but shine. She believes your blog isn't just a website—it's a legacy that can turn into a book, a brand, or a full-blown business. What Char Offers: Full-Service Blog Setup and Ongoing Management Char helps women who want to blog (or who already started and got stuck) with two main services: Custom Website + Blog Builds Char creates a fully customized WordPress website that includes: Home, About, Contact, and other core pages Blog setup ready for ongoing posting Branding and logo assistance if needed Full collaboration on the look, feel, and function you want Typical timeline? About one month from start to finish, depending on how much content you have ready. "I specialize in taking over where people feel stuck—and creating a full, beautiful site they're proud of." Blog Management Services If blogging feels overwhelming, Char also offers blog management: Ghostwriting blog posts (4, 8, or 12 per month) Pinterest graphic creation Social media graphics that match your posts Optional email marketing setup help (like Flodesk or Mailchimp) You can fully outsource your blog, get a few posts a month, or just get help getting started until you find your own rhythm. Why DIY Websites Aren't Always the Best Option While DIY website builders are tempting, Char shared why having a real expert matters. With her approach, you're not just buying a “template”—you're building a foundation for your business the right way, without the constant headache of fixing mistakes later. Working with Char means: Your site is built the right way from the start It's tailored to your goals, your brand, and your audience You'll save time, frustration, and ultimately, money And her pricing is shockingly affordable for the level of customization and support you get. Is Blogging Still Worth It? Absolutely! Char and I both agreed: blogging looks different than it used to, but it's still powerful. Today, blogging is more about: Pairing your blog with your email list to drive traffic Using social media to bring people to your own platform Creating evergreen content that lives for years "Blogging is still alive and well—you just have to pivot a little and focus on connection." Char also pointed out that building an email list alongside your blog is critical today, since you own your email list (but you don't own your social media following).

Learn how he transitioned careers, built a thriving business with minimal marketing, and found a life aligned with his values. If you're stuck in a job that doesn't light you up, this episode offers practical, honest insights on turning passion into profit. About the Guest:Nick Pavlidis is the founder of Authority Ghostwriting, where he helps professionals craft and publish their books, amplifying their message and reach.

His story is a testament to the power of courage, consistency, and doing work that matters.

Are you looking to elevate your authority, grow your business, and foster deep, profitable relationships through your podcast? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive deep into the undeniable power of becoming a published author, and how your podcast is the perfect springboard to make it happen. BENEFITS OF BEING PUBLISHED A book isn't just a collection of words; it's the foundation of authority, visibility, and influence in your niche. Whether you've been podcasting for a year or have hundreds of episodes under your belt, you already have a treasure trove of content that can be repurposed into a high-impact book. I'll walk you through why having your name on a cover instantly elevates your credibility, opens new doors for speaking gigs, and sets you apart in your field. Let's face it... everyone wants to stand out, but not everyone knows how to do it strategically. In my conversation with book coach and editor Susan Crossman, we break down how you can curate your podcast episodes into a well-structured book. PUBLISHED WITH SUSAN CROSSMAN Susan Crossman is a book coach and editor who helps mission-focused coaches, consultants, and innovators write and publish compelling books that make a difference in their businesses and their world. She believes a well-written book can be a powerful force for good in our world and she takes delight in assisting her clients to greater author-ity. Susan's journey is as inspiring as her expertise. From her childhood dream of writing while perched in an apple tree to overcoming loss and transforming her own story into five published books, she shares actionable insights every aspiring author needs. We also tackle the big question: should you self-publish or pursue a traditional publisher? Susan cuts through the confusion, helping you decide what aligns best with your business goals and personal aspirations. Don't fall into the trap of thinking "if you write it, they will come." As we explore in this episode, writing a book is only 20% of the journey. The real impact comes when you masterfully market and leverage your book as part of your broader content strategy. Susan and I share real-world examples, from business leaders like Tony Robbins to rising entrepreneurs who found their true calling and built movements after publishing their first book. And yes, we get honest about the pitfalls of poor quality, AI-generated books and why investing in professional editing, structure, and heartfelt writing delivers results your audience will respect. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES The benefits of being a published author extend far beyond the book itself. We delve into the speaking opportunities, media exposure, and industry recognition that come with being a published author. Susan recounts how one of her clients, an accountant-turned-author, became a sought-after speaker and leader in her field - all by articulating her value and experience in a quality book. We also talk candidly about best-seller myths, the importance of audiobook versions, and how to avoid the embarrassment of a rushed, unpolished book. If you want your message to stick and your book to stand the test of time, this episode gives you a clear blueprint. GET PUBLISHED Ready to get started? Susan is hosting a powerful three-day event, "Write With Impact," specifically for coaches, consultants, and change-makers who want to create books that make a difference.

When most writers think about ghostwriting, they think books. But there's a huge opportunity to ghost for business leaders who need content... articles, blog posts, speeches and more. In this episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, Rob is talking with Allison Evelyn (Ally) about how she pivoted from Day Rates and standard copy projects to ghost writing for clients—and how she's leveraging that work to ghostwrite books in the future. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Allison's Website Allison's Instagram Get her freebie: Ghostwriter Gold The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Transcript: Rob Marsh:  When you think of ghost writing, do you think of books? If so, you're thinking small. This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. We've talked with several copywriters, from time to time, over the past eight years who have talked about ghost writings. Most of those episodes focused on large projects like ghostwriting books—the in-depth process for writing a book and connecting with the kiinds of clients who need help from someone who can write their book. But ghost writing is more than that. Ghost writing includes any project where a writer steps into the shoes of their client to write something in their name. It can be blog posts, articles published online, emails, webinar scripts and more.  When you look beyond the book world, the opportunity for ghost writers is huge. Landing these clients isn't dramatically different from the way that you find, pitch and close regular clients… though there are differences. Usually, as a ghost writer, you're not writing for lower level employees. Rather, you're writing for founders, CEOs and other high-level thinkers, so your work needs to be able to reflect that. In fact, your pitches may need to include ideas and insights that a client can use to show up as a thought-leader in their business and niche. Landing work with a ghost-writing clients means you need to show up and be recognized at this higher level. My guest for this week is Allison Evelyn, that's her professional name— she mostly goes by Ally. Ally's been on the podcast before when we talked about an earlier version of her business. Over the past four or five years, the kind of work she does and the kinds of clients she works with has changed quite a bit. When we recorded that earlier episode, Ally was a member of The Copywriter Think Tank. She also taught several workshops about day rates and the kind of work copywriters can get done on those kinds of projects (one of those workshops is in The Copywriter Underground today). With all the changes she's seen in her business and her personal life, I was excited to catch up with Ally and learn more about her role as a ghostwriter for some prominent online voices. I wish we could talk about a few of them by name, but as a ghost writer, you usually need to stay behind the scenes so your clients can shine. Even if you're not interested in ghost writing for clients, a lot of what Ally shares in this interview about working with clients, applies to the normal back and forth with all clients and if you put her suggestions to work in your business, I promise, you'll be more successful. Make sure you take notes as you listen to this  one. As usual, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. No matter what kind of copywriting business you want for yourself, The Underground is packed with resources to show up as a business owner—not just a freelancer, find clients, and solve big problems that clients are happy to pay big money to get off their plates. From copywritingn and business templates to get you started (including a legal document and a proven onboarding process) to workshops to help you build your authority, attract clients, create products and services your clients want to buy, and more—The Underground is like a starter-kit for your business… or a complete busin...

When a supposed new Mark Twain novel appeared years after his death—allegedly dictated through a Ouija board—it sparked controversy, lawsuits, and the ultimate question: who owns the words of the dead? In this bizarre case of literary rights beyond the grave, the battle wasn't just over authorship, but whether the spirit world had a legal leg to stand on.IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Show Open00:02:43.912 = Do Copyright Laws Apply To Spirit Writing? 00:14:29.527 = The Murder Solved Through TikTok00:20:07.426 = The Nebraska Time Affair00:35:51.680 = The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir00:40:42.529 = Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?00:52:53.837 = The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend01:01:57.766 = The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince01:07:43.703 = Show Close, Verse, and Final ThoughtSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Nebraska Missing Time Affair” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckjf4xe“The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend” by Marco Margaritoff for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k8j79“The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince” by Jan Bartek for Ancient Pages: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9f5zdd“The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir” posted at Anomalien: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33za3tej“The Murder Solved Through TikTok” by Olivia McCormack for Bust.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42s9je2z“Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?” posted at Earth-Chronicles.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4j8pcrwe“Do Copyright Laws Apply to Spirit Writing?” posted at Esoterx.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/nzsen4v5=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

A Ghostwriter in music is a person who creates music for another artist but is not credited for their work. Ghostwriting can involve writing lyrics, composing a melody, or producing an entire arrangement. In the film industry, a music Ghostwriter is a "person who composes music for another composer but is not credited on the cue sheet or in the final product in any way." The practice is considered one of the "dirty little secrets of the film and television music business" that is considered unethical, but has been in effect for a very long time.  Ghostwriters are common in many genres of music, including pop, rap, and classical. Generally, a hired Ghostwriter will charge per hour with rates usually ranging from $50 to $200. However, it's been reported that ghostwriters for well-known rappers can earn from $5,000 up to $50,000 or more per rap they write. Ghostwriters typically agree to remain uncredited in exchange for a larger one-time payment. In some cases, they may be able to negotiate a percentage of royalties, but this is rare.

Alex Cody Foster is one of the most successful Ghost Writers in the world. Having penned eight #1 Amazon best sellers, he's one of the most sought-after Ghosts in the field - a reputation that would eventually attract the attention of the highly controversial crypto magnate John McAfee. Alex's travels with Team McAfee would go on to inspire his book 'The Man Who Hacked The World: A Ghostwriter's Descent Into Madness with John McAfee', along with inspiring the Netflix documentary 'Running with the Devil' in which Alex himself would also star. Since then, Alex has continued writing, dancing along illicit lines with the story of Owen Hanson in 'The California Kid: From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin' along with his investigations into serial killers and murder theories. Recently he's taken a keen interest in one criminal conspiracy - the Smiley Face Murders, a serial killer theory alleging that the drowning of 45 men across the United States are actually the collected works of by a shadowy group of murderous individuals. It all makes for a killer conversation - now if only we had the perfect ghost to punch it up. --- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 09:54 - Obsessed with the Craft 19:29 - Waking Up in Different Timezones 28:39 - Growing Up in the Woods on the Cape 37:13 - Nearly Expelled from High School 51:57 - Going Homeless to Hitchhike Across the Country 01:18:51 - A Homeless Documentarian on the Streets of L.A. 01:33:49 - How to Shoot a Documentary With No Money 01:47:31 - Meeting My First Serial Killer 02:02:00 - I Remember When I Lost My Mind 02:26:30 - A Memoir in Maine 02:33:43 - Ghost Writing in Bar Harbor 02:44:08 - Finding the Next James Patterson 02:50:14 - Then I Met John McAfee (Thanks to Jimmy Watson) 03:06:33 - Team McAfee Falls Apart 03:17:59 - The Man Who Predicted John McAfee (& Jeffrey Epstein's) Demise 03:25:21 - On Body Language - Detecting Killers with Predatory Intent 03:35:25 - Stepping into the World of Serial Killers 03:57:33 - Regarding the Smiley Face Killers 04:15:05 - Starting WHSK - We Hunt Serial Killers 04:19:01 - Writing the Owen Hanson Story in 'The California Kid --- Support Alex Cody Foster - Get Your Copy of Alex's Books 'The Man Who Hacked The World' & 'The California Kid' at https://shorturl.at/VP38G We Hunt Serial Killers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whskofficial We Hunt Serial Killers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WHSKOfficial Website: https://www.alexfosterghostwriter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfosterghostwriter --- Sponsors: 120Life Go to https://www.120life.com - that's https://www.120life.com - and remember to use code, “DROP” D-R-O-P to support the show and save 15%! --- BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB' Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
