CleanLiterary CEOs: Three Successful Authors Share Their 'Business Plans' - Episode #18, Segment #2 | Cathy Langer, head book buyer for the Tattered Cover Bookstore, moderates a panel featuring three success authors in a discussion of the business skills required to be a "Literary CEO." Joining Cathy in the 710 KNUS AM studios are Nick Arvin, author of The Reconstructionist, and Erin Blakemore, author of The Heroine's Bookshelf. Also participating by phone from New York is Eli Gottlieb, author of The Face Thief. As co-hosts David Biondo and Dean Rotbart point out, writing and successfully publishing a book is very much a business - requiring many of the same skills that any successful entrepreneur must master. Do you have the right product line (subject matter)? How much will it cost to produce (time, lost opportunities, out-of-pocket expenses)? What's your marketing plan (if no one buys the book, then what)? Do you have the self-discipline and dedication to see the project through? What type of team do you need to assemble to get the job done (agent, publisher, PR, editor, etc.)? This is the second of three related segments.

Customer Reviews
Great news for small business owners
This is the only quality podcast I've found that really speaks clearly to business owners or entrepreneurs who are looking for ways to shake more profitability out of thier business. One thing I've discovered by listening week to week is that the problems and opportunities that I face are pretty much universal, wheather the business is high tech, service, retail or whatever. It's nice to hear from other motivated owners and get ideas on how to apply their success to my own projects. Love the show!
Great! (to say the least)
I'm a Homer Hudson Hillis fan. Homer is a regular contributor to BUnconventional and never lacks for hard-earned business insights. His Texas-style "Homerisms" are as witty as they are wise.
I'm also impressed with Bruce DeBoskey, who looks at philanthropy with the eye and instincts of a business owner. If you've earned a lot of money and want to do something meaningful with it, why not approach the task in the same fashion as you would a business venture?
What Every Business Needs To Hear
Like sports, Business needs to get back to basics to get things right. BUnconventional's Podcast delivers weekly insght into the minds of people who make business work, regardless of location, category, economy, or excuse. It's motivating to hear 'business people', versus some slackjawed yokel DJ try to pull off this content and make it entertaining to listen to. The guests are honest, aggresive, full of passion. A great listen that substantiates my iPod as I listen to the podcasts while driving.
