In today’s episode, host John Laurito speaks with New York Times best-selling Author and one of America’s most prolific ghostwriters and journalists, Michael Levin. They talk about how Michael started his career, from being a lawyer – and not liking it – to finally trying a hand at what he loved: writing. He also shares his experience and lessons from being on Shark Tank.

Michael Levin is a nationally acclaimed thought leader on the subject of the future of book publishing. Michael believes that the traditional publishing model is dead, thanks to the long-term foolishness of the major houses and their willful ignorance of new technologies for the marketing and distribution of books. Levin appeared on ABC's Shark Tank for his ghostwriting company, BusinessGhost, Inc., which has authored more than 120 books. E-Myth creator Michael Gerber says Levin has created more successful books than any human being in history. He has written with Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, football broadcasting legend Pat Summerall, football stars Chad Hennings and Maurice Jones-Drew, NBA star Doug Christie, and Fox News broadcaster Chris Myers, among many others. He also edited Zig Ziglar’s most recent book, Born To Win. Michael has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CBS News, Forbes.com, The Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and many other top media sources.
