23. Why Letting Go Is the Key to Bouncing Back from Failure with Kevin Anderson
Description
Kevin Anderson never meant to get into the publishing business after growing up in a small town in Canada before getting his PhD and graduating summa cum laude from Harvard and starting a tutoring company. Nevertheless, that tutoring company transitioned into what is now a massive publishing company that employs 30 writers and editors that have collectively worked on over 200 New York Times bestselling books and sold over 100 million copies of books by people like Brene Brown, Simon Sinek and Jen Sincero.
But just because he looks like someone who’s never experienced a day of failure, Anderson is the first to admit that he’s had his fair share—including clients who were incensed when the books his company wrote didn’t sell to traditional publishers.
In this episode, we talked about how trying to do everything for your company is asking for failure, the importance of finding people with different strengths than yours and why you have to let go to move on, among other things.
