Publishing has changed dramatically, and for most people, that’s a gift - not a loss.

In this episode, we unpack how self-publishing and Amazon KDP have reshaped the book industry and removed many of the barriers that used to keep meaningful books hidden.

We talk honestly about fear, overwhelm, and the myth that “anyone can publish now, so does it even matter?” If publishing feels intimidating or risky, this conversation brings some honest relief.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How the publishing industry has shifted from gatekeeping to access
• Why self-publishing isn’t second-rate (it’s strategic)
• What still makes a book meaningful in a crowded market
• Why Amazon KDP lowers risk without lowering impact
