Ep. 041 I’m Writing a Book and Donating Profits to COVID-19 Relief Efforts

March 29, 2020

Listen on: [Apple Podcasts]  [Google Play]  [Stitcher]  [Spotify]  [Overcast]

Note: If you’d like to tag along my journey of writing the book & learning about how much money I’ll raise to donate to coronavirus relief efforts then click here to sign up.

I’m writing a short book about “Virtual Team Games” and documenting my journey to accomplish three main goals:

First, I want to teach people how to write & publish a book. I hope to encourage anyone who has considered writing a book to finally write one. I hope I can inspire you to use some of your free time while you’re at home to create your book, and I’m going to show you everything I’ll be doing (including how much money I raise).

Second, I want to write a book to help remote teams through virtual team building activities. A big pain point for remote teams today is that they’re feeling isolated. The book I plan to write will give those teams a set of games and activities that will help with their team-building efforts.

Third, I want to donate to COVID-19 relief efforts. The main goal of this exercise is to raise some money and help those who need it during those difficult times. I plan on donating 100% of the profits from the book to one or more COVID-19 relief efforts (for a full month after the book is available for preorder).
