1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The parallels between creating books and building businesses are strong and made stronger thanks to Samir Rath. Samir isn&amp;rsquo;t only a seasoned startup founder and angel investor&amp;mdash;he&amp;rsquo;s also the author of No Startup Hipsters: Build Scalable Technology Companies. I was blown away by Samir&amp;rsquo;s pinpoint business thinking and how it applies in equal measure to forging a thriving, meaningful business as well as crafting a memorable, important book. In today&amp;rsquo;s chat, Samir and I talk about ideal reader identification, author platforms, marketing campaigns, funding models, expanded content funnels, and so much more. Get prepared to learn a lot. After the show, find us on Twitter @WinningEdits or #authormba with your questions and comments. Enjoy!
