Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Mike Sowden, the author behind the hugely popular Substack, “Everything is Amazing.” He is also a former archaeologist and travel writer, and one of the humblest writers I know. (Don't be fooled when he starts out the interview by telling you he has no idea what he's doing.)
Today, we talk about:
What is Substack, and is it too late to get started there?
How Mike found his writing voice, a unique blend of scientific explanation and approachable humor
The joy of trying things even when you're not an expert on the topic
Growth on Substack - what works and what doesn't?
The concept of writing seasons (a.k.a. finding a publishing cadence that doesn't kill you)
What we can learn from Liz Gilbert's multimedia approach to writing,
and so much more.
