017: From College Dropout to a $34M Book Publishing School with Chandler Bolt (3X Inc. 5000 Founder)

Chandler Bolt is an investor, advisor, and the founder of Self-Publishing School—a 3-time Inc. 5000 company that has helped over 6,000 people write, market & publish their first book in as little as 90 days.

He took the company from $0 to $34M over seven years and currently employs 30+ staff and growing.

Chandler is also the author of 6 bestselling books and host of the 7-Figure Principles Podcast.

In this episode, we discuss how he went from a college dropout to scaling an 8-figure online business.
