We discuss what\u2019s broken in traditional publishing and how we\u2019re fixing it. We also dig into Jimmy\u2019s forthcoming book on Kobe Bryant, why the world needs more \u201cproblem authors,\u201d and why our goal is to make our authors millionaires. We explore why most industries optimize for prestige instead of outcomes, how digital distribution has reshaped attention, and why authors \u2014 and creators more broadly \u2014 have more leverage than they realize.
