This episode is with special guest, Nancy Erickson, Founder of The Book Professor. Here is Nancy's bio:

Our proprietary process was developed by our founder, Nancy Erickson, when— as the owner of Stonebrook Publishing—she recognized the people who had the most transformative stories weren’t necessarily good writers. Stonebrook had received many manuscripts where the message could save lives, change lives, and transform society, but they were so poorly written that they couldn’t be published.

So, Nancy spent a year developing a step-by-step process that would turn people who weren’t writers into published authors. That’s when The Book Professor® and its offerings became available to aspiring authors around the globe.

Nancy holds MFA in Writing, is an international book coach, author, editor, international speaker, and she’s taught writing at various colleges and universities around the St. Louis, Missouri area.

Tom Ruwitch is a consultant, content-marketing expert, and founder of Story Power Marketing. Tom is a digital marketing pioneer who founded the email marketing software and services company MarketVolt in 2001 -- before most business people had even heard of email marketing. Today, coaches, consultants, and other experts hire Tom to power up their stories because most dish out the same old boring content that turns off prospects, and then they feel frustrated and stuck. So Tom helps them transform content from boring to brilliant, turn marketing from frustrating to fun, and convert results from pitiful to profitable. 

My Backstory 

I used to believe that marketing and sales was a numbers game. Knock on enough doors and make enough cold calls and prospects and sales would come. 

All that got me was sore knuckles and a raw throat. 

I discovered a better way: When you create and deliver story-powered content that reflects prospects' journeys, they tune in, turn on, and are more likely to hire you. 

I harnessed the power of Story Power to grow MarketVolt, the email marketing software company I founded in 2001. And in 2019, after I sold MarketVolt, I founded Story Power Marketing to bring that power to coaches, consultants, and other experts -- so they can transform content from boring to brilliant, turn marketing from frustrating to fulfilling, and convert results from pitiful to profitable. 

I teach simple, easy-to-scale systems to generate client-attracting, story-powered content -- without writer's block.
