Podcasts about knocked up abroad

Lisa Ferland is an American living in Sweden. She has a background in public health, and is also an author and consultant. In the podcast she talks about her life in the Swedish countryside, why she chose to take Swedish citizenship, and what being both Swedish and American means to her. Lisa recently began working for the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), specifically on the coronavirus pandemic. We talk with her about how the Swedish approach to the pandemic differs from what other countries are doing, and how cultural differences affect the way the coronavirus progresses in different places. Lisa gives us a peek at what we might be able to expect in the coming months, and a few rays of hope about what good might come out of all this.

If you are a published author and you’re struggling to increase your book sales, or if you are considering writing a book, this episode is for you! If you never thought of publishing your book, know that this episode is also for you; publishing and selling books can be a very rewarding experience but also a fantastic way to gain credibility in your field. However, as much as technology has made it easier to publish and promote a book, making revenue out of books sales can be quite challenging. “Don’t try to crowdfund before you have a crowd” In this episode, Lisa Ferland and I will help you figure out what you need to do before, during and after you launch your book in order to grow your sales. Lisa Ferland helps indie authors crowdfund their books on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo and self-publish their books with style. Lisa is American living in Sweden where she moved with her husband and started her family. Her background is in public health consulting but during her journey in Sweden she developed her expertise in writing and publishing books. She is the co-author and publisher of her first book Knocked Up Abroad, an anthology of global moms and dads’ experience with birth and parenting across the world. The success of her first book has led her to launch her second one, Knocked Up Aboard Again. This time she had the creative idea to finance the publishing of the book through a crowdfunding campaign, using the platform of Kickstarter. Since then, she has launched her consulting service for authors who wish to self-publish and crowdfund their book.
