How to Grow a Bestselling Substack with Mike Sowden of "Everything is Amazing"

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.
