Book Pre - Launch

I've been announcing over the past couple of weeks that I was offered a book deal with Morgan James publishing to help get my book Master Your Message into book stores and anywhere books are sold. It's an exciting time here on the podcast and in my life to have the honor of publishing a book with a traditional publisher.

Click the link below to watch the short video I created for you and get ready for the second video to go live soon. We don't have a date yet for when the book is going to hit the streets but if you get on the email list you will hear about it first.
