Whether you're a new or established author doesn't matter. You have the opportunity to grow your career much faster than under normal circumstances.&quot; ~ Nicholas Erik  Nicholas Erik joins us again with fantastic insight into the impact technology is having on the publishing world \u2014 right down to us as individual authors. Now this isn't a pro or anti AI episode \u2014 it's about understanding how we as authors can adapt to these technology shifts, overcome our pain points through technology, and how the companies we're dealing with on a day-to-day basis are utilizing it.   Nick makes a really compelling case that the next three years could be a once-in-a-career moment to level up, and he's got this beautifully simple framework for cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually moves the needle.  And we had so much to talk about that \u2014 for the first time in a long time \u2014 we've split this into two episodes, because we didn't want to cut a single thing. Whether you're building to six figures or already there and wondering what's next, this one's for you.
