145 The Biggest Indie Author Conference In The World! 20 Books To 50K Vegas With The Man Who Ran Them, Craig Martelle!
Today on the show we have returning champ, my friend and Superstar Author and director of the world’s largest indie author conference, 20 Books Vegas, Craig Martelle.
It was my pleasure to attend the last 20 Books Vegas run by Craig. I have gone to all the Vegas 20 Books conferences and have seen the positive impact these conferences have had on authors.
Please enjoy my chat with Craig Martelle.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· Craig’s beginnings into writing after a career in the United States Marine Corps and being an attorney.
· How he and Michael Anderle became fast friends and grew the 20 Books brand and conferences.
· Why did he undertake such a humongous responsibility and personal financial risk for a not-for-profit conference?
· How this conference literally has changed hundreds of author's lives for the better.
· When did he know it was time to step down and walk away from this conference?
· Words of wisdom for Joe Solari and Author Nation who will run the conference next year.
· My personal gratitude to Craig and Michael for their friendship, partnership, and mentorship throughout the years.
