In the world of Jeff Goins, that translates to a 'tribe,' and building tribes has been a huge part of Jeff's career. In this very Christmasy 2015 episode of the Wordslinger Podcast, Jeff gives us some of his insights, wisdom, and methods for building that tribe of folks who will support you in the life you want to lead.

And that's what Andrea Waltz discusses in this episode.

Ember Casey is a USA Today bestselling author living in Atlanta, Georgia in a den of iniquity (or so she likes to tell people). When she’s not writing steamy romances, you can find her whipping up baked goods (usually of the chocolate variety), traveling (her bucket list is infinite), or generally causing trouble (because somebody has to do it). Her first contemporary romance, His Wicked Games, was published in June 2013.

Bryan Cohen started his writing career as a copywriter (much like a certain Wordslinger, eh?), but quickly fell in love with crafting very Josh-Whedon-esque stories of his own.

His latest venture is copywriting for authors—using his Book Description Ninja skills to give authors a boost.
