A Survival Guide for Self-Publishing

from Bald Ambition · host Mookie Spitz

You finally did it! You wrote the damn book. You self-published it. Congratulations!—now brace yourself, because nobody gives a shit. In this brutally honest episode, Mookie Spitz breaks down the gut-wrenching, ego-bruising reality of trying to market and self-promote a book in a world drowning in content and distraction. From the raw highs of cracking his own creative code and learning how to write a great novel with Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine—a sci-fi romp starring a hustler who accidentally invents a universe-hopping machine—to the obvious realization that most of his friends and family won’t even read it, Mookie tells it exactly like it is.He rants about drowning in a sea of indifference while reaching out to fellow writers and artists, blasting his novel on X. line by line, reading his entire book on podcast platforms, and dreaming of a Netflix deal... Spoiler: despite the chaos he keeps writing and ranting, because he fucking loves it!If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, if you’re lost in the grind of hawking your masterpiece to an indifferent universe, or if you just want a darkly funny, philosophical gut-check on what this insane hustle really takes, tune in.His Novel In Case You CareJonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality EngineFollow Him On X.@JonnieFazoolieSend the host a text!

Jobs Blow Podcast Briana Haas Jobs Blow Podcast sounds pornographic, but like many job descriptions, isn’t what it seems. The podcast was born out of the frustrations of being laid off and restless, but was created to bring people together to support one another in a quest for something better. Everyone has their own unique story and Briana speaks to individuals at different points in their journey. From professionals who love their day jobs to dreamers paying their dues to reach a lifelong ambition - come to commiserate and stay to be entertained or inspired. Of course, no conversation would be complete without some tea spilt about crazy on-the-job experiences.

Utopia GroundControl Radio Déranger le présent, arranger l’avenir » : la phrase n’est pas de nous (copyright Victor Hugo), mais elle exprime parfaitement notre ambition. Et si on laissait aux marques la possibilité de construire un futur positif ? Et si nos utopies d’aujourd’hui devenaient notre réalité demain ?Car oui, chez FutureBrand, nous croyons que les marques ont la capacité et même le devoir d’avoir un impact positif sur le monde et de le transformer, pour le meilleur. Et pour cela, il n’est plus question d’imposer un choix aux consommateurs, mais de les aider à s’épanouir dans leurs contradictions.Nos contradictions, c’est tout l’objet de notre série de podcasts Utopia, développée en partenariat avec Ground Control. Chaque émission est consacrée à une contradiction majeure qui nous anime tous et dont la compréhension est structurante pour l’avenir. Nous proposons ainsi, avec nos différents invités, de réfléchir à toutes ces contradictions qui ont tendance à nous immobiliser, pour tenter de les transcend Ambition is Critical ambition-is-critical 2 dinosaurs talking about Swansea City AFC and whatever other nonsense comes into their minds
