Authors Who Lead - Learn to write a book from bestselling authors and leaders Stuck to Success | Chris McAlister
Chris McAlister was once told by a literary agent that he would never be able to write anything successful until he was over forty years old. He didn’t listen to that agent and went on to write several books—and even created coaching programs around them.
In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk to Chris about his books, his journey getting them out into the world, and the impact they have on his readers.
