Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Dennis Geelen. Dennis Dennis is an “accidental solopreneur.” He's literally written the book on that. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, Dennis accidentally fell into being a solopreneur when he found himself laid off for the first time at the age of 43. He decided to bet on himself and is now at the age of 48, five years into his solopreneur journey. He's written four books, created three online courses, consulted for dozens of companies, spoken at numerous events, launched a newsletter, and is having a lot of fun helping others do the same. Dennis is also active on Twitter and LinkedIn.Here are some of the most valuable moments in their conversation:00:00 - Introduction22:38 - Self-Promotion Is NOT A Selfish Act27:44 - The Smartest Book Promotion Strategy I've Seen32:19 - Watch Me Help Build A Brand In 4 MinutesShow Notes👉 Watch this episode on YouTubeI Want To Know Newsletter Growth PlaylistSkill Session: Newsletter BoosterUse Code Booster25 to get 50% off ($25)Spark Loop Partner ProgramMost Helpful Newsletter For Creators Twitter ThreadHow To Get Comfortable Promoting Your CreationsDaniel Vassallo / Small BetsA Peek Inside The Mind Of A Productivity Expert (Khe Hy)To Connect with Dennis Geelen:Website: https://www.dennisgeelen.me/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dennis_geelen Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-geelen/ The Accidental Solopreneur (Book)Solopreneur Playbook Online CourseThe Author’s Playbook Online CourseSolopreneur Playbook CallThe Happy Accidents NewsletterTo connect with Josh Spector:Newsletter: Fortheinterested.com/subscribeSkill Sessions: Joshspector.com/sessionsConsulting: Joshspector.com/consultingTwitter: @jspectorApply to be a guest on the show: Joshspector.com/questionsIntro Music Provided By Uppbeat

Today is a special episode of the I Want To Know podcast. We're going to do something a little different—I’m going to give you a behind-the-scenes look at my most successful product ever, my Skill Sessions membership. I'm going to get into how and why I created Skill Sessions, how I sell them, and also share some of the most valuable tactics I've presented in the sessions themselves. To help me do this, I have brought on my secret weapon, Emily Benedict, and she will ask me some questions about the sessions. She's the perfect one to do this because she has been to every session, she has helped me with them from the beginning, and she has a unique perspective on them.Here are some of the most valuable moments in our conversation:00:00 - Introduction03:22 - How I Package My Expertise Into Products And Content People Love05:47 - My Most Successful Product ISN'T A Course Or Community16:44 - How To Turn One Coaching Client Into TwoShow Notes👉 Watch this episode on YouTubeGet Josh Spector’s Skill SessionsTo Connect with Emily Benedict:Twitter: @emilysbenedictTo connect with Josh Spector:Newsletter: Fortheinterested.com/subscribeSkill Sessions: Joshspector.com/sessionsConsulting: Joshspector.com/consultingTwitter: @jspectorApply to be a guest on the show: Joshspector.com/questionsIntro Music Provided By Uppbeat
