Today’s episode is all about You as told in the eyes of our very own Mark Minard. 

We are all put on this earth for a reason, and it’s to be the best YOU! The Story of You is for the Doers of the Dreams who are ready to escape from the land of mediocrity once and for all. On this exciting journey, Mark Minard shares his own story of early heartache and bad decisions―and how those experiences left him trapped in anger, fear, and mediocrity. But his continued search for answers and solutions also led to his discovery that he was not trapped―he had a choice. The Story of You dives deep into Mark’s adventures into the unknown in an adventure about discovering and living out your big WHY! In it Mark shares his personal playbook of how he elevated his mindset with faith-building thoughts, and manifested his dreams to the next level and beyond. This is not a theoretical doctrine; rather, this book gives you real-life applications from within the trenches describing how Mark has formed his own principles of success: 

  • It’s okay to be terrible on the way to being great.
  • At the root of indecision is fear.
  • A little bit of insanity + incredible faith = great entrepreneurs and leaders
  • Your “limitations” are your best weapons.
  • Failure is a necessary step on the way to success.
  • Change your mindset, and your circumstances will follow.
  • Knowledge + understanding + application = power 

Are you ready to take your dreams, your leadership, and your life to the next level and beyond? It’s time to set sail into the uncharted waters of the unknown, and discover. . .The Story of You!


Listen in to find out how you ‘you’ and Mark’s ‘you’ are still ‘You’!

Morgan James Radio Episode 011: How Sharing is Powering the Human Economy with Bryan Kramer

Today’s episode is all about Sharing. As technology continues to evolve and make our lives busier and more complicated, but it can never replace true human connection--our fundamental need to share information, stories, and emotions.

It is meant for entrepreneurs and marketers who want to make their content more valuable, shareable, and for individuals who want to understand the power of sharing to grow their personal brand.

Kramer's best-selling second book, Shareology raced onto the USA Today's Best Sellers List the week of its release.

Bryan Kramer is a renowned global speaker, consultant and trainer. He's also one of the world's foremost leaders in the art and science of sharing, and has been credited with instigating the #H2H human business movement in marketing and social, which was the basis for his first book: There is No B2B or B2C: It's Human to Human #H2H ~ another bestseller.

Today’s episode is all about overcoming life’s huge obstacles. Listen in on today’s episode as we chat with Kristen Moeller on how she found her path to Morgan James. Learn about her new book Phoenix Rising: Stories of Remarkable Women Walking Through Fire.

How do you go on after you've lost everything?

Over several terrifying summers, deadly wildfires raged across Colorado. Lives were lost, and the flames destroyed thousands of homes. When the smoke cleared and only rubble remained, survivors were left trying to find a way forward against devastating loss. The aftermath of that destruction would span many years, and its effects are still felt today.

In "Phoenix Rising," twenty women share their stories of fire, the terror they felt as flames engulfed their communities, and the dark desperation that followed. And how---in the ensuing weeks and months---they worked to recreate a life from the ashes. Their tales of fear and bravery, of deep compassion and heart-rending grief, offer an uplifting chronicle of human courage and resilience.

In "Phoenix Rising" written by women united by wildfire, they have the privilege of stepping into those moments to stand in the hallways of their shock and fear, grief and disorientation, and then, armed with the wisdom of retrospection, walking out into whatever comes next.

Speaking of what’s coming next, next we’ll learn what she is up to and how she helps people whose path may not have made it to a traditional publishing deal with her involvement with Persona Publishing, the Morgan James self-publishing path.

His calling to become a pastor prompts him to retire from wrestling and move with his wife and daughter to a small town.

Today’s episode is all about your book cover. But to get there you’ll hear our Show facilitator, Jody Maberry, pull out the incredible story of bringing in that passion and enthusiasm of our founder, and host, David Hancock and the why that is the beginning of the best covers.

Covers are the first thing your audience sees. It is as important as the content you share. Your cover must look as good or better than the books to the left and the right of your book on the shelves.  

We all do judge books by the covers. We also have to have an emotional reaction to the cover even before the text of the title is even read. It must be able to do that from even ten feet away! Which is how it looks as a thumbnail on your favorite bookseller’s website.

Help your readers find their right path by helping them find the right emotion with the perfect cover.
