Rocket Man | Evan Loomis

from Book Is the Hook · host Eric Koester

"I basically wrote a children's book so my kids could meet Elon Musk." Evan Loomis is the definition of an entrepreneur in everything he does. From founding multiple companies, investing in emerging startups and being a leading voice in Austin's startup scene, he's committed to the entrepreneurial life. When his kids began to get old enough to read bedtime stories, Evan realized that there weren't enough stories of real people that could inspire his children.  And in particular he found there weren't any stories about entrepreneurs to teach his kids to dream bigger. So he decided to write one about Elon Musk, the ultimate big-dreamer. "Elon Musk: This Is a Book About Rockets" has received tons of praise and excitement from parents, plus gave him a project to collaborate on with his kids.  Hear how it turned out to be WAY more work than he thought, what Elon said (or didn't) and what he learned along the way.  Find the link to our conversation below. #creatorinstitute #entrepreneur #content #podbean #podcast #spotify #itunes #podcasting #soundcloud #youtube #podcasts #stitcher #podcastlife #applepodcasts #radio #podcaster #radioshow #radiopersonality #googleplay #podcasters #music #tunein #elonmusk #rocketman
