Podcasts about what it really takes

How well did you sleep last night? Do you wake up feeling rested? Today, Jay welcomes renowned neuroscientist, sleep expert, and bestselling author Dr. Matthew Walker to unpack the profound importance of sleep and how it shapes every facet of our health and wellbeing. Bestselling author of Why We Sleep, Dr. Matthew Walker brings scientific rigor and heartfelt clarity to one of the most misunderstood and underestimated aspects of our lives. Matthew opens the discussion by challenging the myth of the 'eight-hour rule.' While the average adult does best with seven to nine hours of sleep, the focus quickly shifts beyond just duration. Instead, Matthew introduces a more holistic four part framework—Quantity, Quality, Regularity, and Timing, or QQRT. This framework highlights how sleep is not simply about how long one sleeps, but also how deeply, how consistently, and how well it aligns with our natural biological rhythms. Jay and Matthew's conversation also tackles common disruptors of restorative sleep, including caffeine, alcohol, and excessive exposure to artificial light. Dr. Walker discusses how these elements can interfere with the brain’s ability to enter deep and REM sleep, the latter being especially important for emotional processing, hormonal regulation, and memory consolidation. Sleep, it turns out, influences far more than individual health. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Know If You’re Getting Enough Sleep How to Improve Sleep Using the QQRT Formula How to Align Your Sleep With Your Body’s Internal Clock How to Avoid Waking Up Tired Every Morning How to Optimize Your Evening Routine for Better Sleep How to Fall Back Asleep After Waking Up at Night How to Diagnose Sleep Apnea at Home With scientific insight and practical wisdom, the episode paints a vivid picture of how sleep, when prioritized and protected, can serve as a catalyst for healing, clarity, and sustainable energy.

Pitching, writing, publishing, and marketing a cookbook with Erin Clarke from Well Plated by Erin. ----- Welcome to episode 520 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Erin Clarke from Well Plated by Erin. What It Really Takes to Publish a Cookbook with Erin Clarke from Well Plated by Erin In this episode, we are thrilled to welcome back Erin Clarke (after 9 years!!!) to dive into the behind-the-scenes journey of traditionally publishing a cookbook — from developing the recipes and managing timelines to copy-editing and more. Erin opens up about how she balanced her cookbook projects with her ongoing blog work, as well as the challenges and rewards of publishing a cookbook. Bjork and Erin also chat about the marketing side of cookbook creation — how Erin mapped out the social media strategy for her cookbook promotion, why she crafted all of her captions in advance, and how she documented the entire cookbook process on social media to create excitement and drive sales. Erin emphasizes that cookbook writing shouldn't be motivated by money but by a passion for cookbooks and the long-term brand legitimacy and awareness that these books help build. Three episode takeaways: The cookbook proposal is your blueprint — Erin explains why a compelling cookbook proposal is essential — not only does it help you effectively pitch to publishers, but it also forces you to test your concept (and whether you're up for the challenge!) and clarify your vision before writing begins. Cookbook writing is a long game — Success requires patience, consistency, and a commitment to detail. Erin shares about the challenges of adjusting to the timeline of print publishing and the shift in mindset required to develop a cookbook. How to develop recipes that work — Erin walks through her incredibly detailed approach to recipe development (have you ever counted the kale stalks in a bunch at the grocery store?) and how being methodical when developing and writing recipes from the get-go creates a strong foundation for your future self and sets your readers up for success.

Our latest episode of The Writing Community Chat Show was nothing short of amazing, especially if you're an indie author with big dreams of reaching the top of the bestseller list! We sat down with Dale L. Roberts, the mastermind behind Self-Publishing with Dale, and dove into the strategies, mindsets, and marketing tactics that can propel your book to success. Whether you're a first-time author or a seasoned self-publisher, this episode is filled with tremendous writing advice, amazing quotes, and motivational snippets that will inspire you to take your author career to the next level.What It Really Takes to Hit #1 on the Bestseller ListGetting to the top of a bestseller list is no small feat, and Dale gave us the real scoop on what it takes. Spoiler alert: It's about way more than just writing a good book!To hit #1, a book usually needs to sell a significant number of copies within a specific time period. But the exact number can vary depending on your genre and competition. Some genres are more competitive, requiring more aggressive marketing and higher sales numbers to reach that coveted spot. Dale shared that, while getting to the top is achievable, it's going to take a mix of effective marketing, promotion, and leveraging your author platform.One of the key takeaways from the episode was Dale's emphasis on building a large and engaged audience before and during your book launch. Whether you're reaching out through social media, email newsletters, or other platforms, the bigger and more engaged your audience, the more likely they are to help propel your book to bestseller status.It's All About MomentumOne of Dale's standout quotes from the episode was:"It's not just about selling a lot of books—it's about selling a lot of books in a short amount of time."This is where momentum comes into play. Bestseller lists rely heavily on short-term sales, so building up hype before your launch, creating urgency, and getting as many sales as possible within the first few days or weeks is crucial. Dale shared insights on how to create this kind of buzz and get readers excited about your book before it's even released.Marketing Strategies to Boost Your BookDale walked us through the various marketing strategies he uses to boost his books' visibility and sales, including:Email Newsletters: Building an engaged email list is essential. Dale stressed that email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to connect directly with your audience and drive book sales.Social Media: Using platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to promote your book can make a huge impact. Dale shared tips on how to use video content to engage your audience, build your brand, and create excitement around your launch.Positive Reviews: One of the biggest factors in bestseller success is positive reviews. Dale gave practical advice on how to ask your readers for reviews in a way that feels natural and encourages them to support you.He also emphasized that while these strategies can help you reach the top, it's equally important to have a compelling book that resonates with readers. All the marketing in the world won't help if your book doesn't deliver!The Bigger Picture: Success Beyond the Bestseller ListWhile reaching #1 is a fantastic goal, Dale reminded us that it's not the only measure of success. There are many other factors to consider when evaluating a book's success—like reader engagement, long-term sales, and how well your book connects with its audience. Dale emphasized that sustainable success often comes from focusing on the long game, building your brand as an author, and consistently delivering value to your readers.One of his most motivating quotes from the episode was:"Your book's success isn't just about how fast it climbs the charts. It's about how well it resonates and leaves a lasting impact."Why This Episode is a Must-Watch for Indie AuthorsThis episode is packed with practical advice and inspiration that can transform your approach to self-publishing. Whether your goal is to hit #1 on the bestseller list or build a long-term career as an indie author, Dale's insights are invaluable.You'll come away with:Step-by-step strategies to market your book and build momentum for your launch.Tips on how to grow and engage your audience across various platforms.A deeper understanding of what it truly takes to reach the top of the bestseller list—and why that's not the only metric that matters.Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/7C3mnY-UOh0?feature=shareSubscribe to our Substack to gain exclusive access and to join our lives here: https://t.co/YccCgmAt9lBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-writing-community-chat-show--5445493/support.

Grab a notebook and settle in—you’re going to want to take notes from this week’s episode of Beyond Influential. I’m excited to welcome back my friend and returning Beyond Influential guest, Mikhail Alfon, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation full of valuable insights you won’t want to miss. Mikhail is the Orange County-based entrepreneur behind the rapidly-growing marketing agency Blue Light Media, and host of the podcast Oversharing with Mikhail Alfon.  As an entrepreneur, it’s important to have others you can count on to truly be there without expectation, and I know I can always rely on Mikhail to operate with integrity.  I usually do a good amount of prep work when it comes to interviews, but this week’s episode was a completely behind-the-scenes, real-life catch up session. I really can’t stress enough how much value is in this episode.  We chat about the evolution of Mikhail’s business since our last episode, his popular Instagram hashtag #EarnYourSunrise, and have a really honest and in-depth conversation about our respective takes on team-building, hiring, company culture, content creation, podcasting, setting high standards in your business, and more!  This Beyond Influential is basically a private conversation we are releasing publicly about the important topics affecting our businesses in real time.   Book Recommendation Strengthsfinder 2.0 has come up in multiple conversations I’ve had with successful business owners recently. I’ve personally found this book very helpful, not only from a self-awareness perspective, but also for hiring the right team members for the right roles.* https://www.amazon.com/dp/159562015X/?ref=exp_brittanykrystle_dp_vv_d   Don't want to miss an episode (or valuable free resources!)?

Story expert Lisa Cron joins Jess and KJ to dig into the mechanics of a good book, including the difference between plot and story, and looking beyond “what happened” to “why did it happen”.To talk to Lisa Cron is--unless you've already read Story Genius or Wired for Story--to possibly flip everything you thought you knew about story--fiction, nonfiction, short, long, whatever--onto its head.Story, she points out, isn't plot. It isn't what happens, and then what happens next, and then what happens next. It's the why behind those happenings. It's not, well, a spaceship just landed on the green in front of the library, and I'll either a) rush towards it or b) head for my car.It's WHY I do those things. It's not just what I do next, but what it is about me, now the main character in this rather stressful tale that may end with us all being the entrees on some giant interstellar menu, that makes me make the no doubt terrible choices that I make (good choices make bad books). And that's my backstory. Which brings me to one of the many, many quick-write-that-down moments in this episode. Backstory isn't backstory. It IS the story. It informs every line of every page, every decision, every "because of this, then that," right up until the end, when whatever screwed me up in the first place becomes something I can overcome in order to win the aliens over and persuade them that we're not tasty after all (before I fry them with my laser gun and it's alien nuggets for everyone, with a variety of dipping sauces).Our guest, Lisa Cron, is the author of Story Genius: How to Use Brain Science to Go Beyond Outlining and Write a Riveting Novel* [*Before You Waste Three Years Writing 327 Pages That Go Nowhere] (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781607748892) and Wired for Story: The Writer's Guide to Using Brain Science to Hook Readers from the Very First Sentence (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781607742456) .
