EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Jamie Rawsthorne is formerly half of the Zac and Jay show and is a current Youtube advisor to clients like Codie Sanchez and Morning Brew.

#149: Daniel Pink – How to write like a New York Times bestselling author
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Dan is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. As part of the research for this book, Dan analyzed 16,000 regrets from more than 100 countries. It’s a great book and I highly recommend it.
His other books include the New York Times bestsellers When and A Whole New Mind — as well as the #1 New York Times bestsellers Drive and To Sell is Human. Dan’s books have won multiple awards, have been translated into 42 languages, and have sold millions of copies around the world.
Before he was an author, Dan worked in several positions in politics and government, including serving from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore. You may also know Dan from of his TED talk, the puzzle of motivation which has received more than 10 million views.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why following your passion can be bad advice
- When to maximize vs when to satisfice
- Dan’s rules for writing that allow him to be so prolific as an author
- And why Dan doesn’t write about the same subject in all of his books

This is a special episode for me. I've been a long-time listener of Tropical MBA. TMBA is a podcast between Dan Andrews and Ian Schoen. It's the first podcast focused on location-independent entrepreneurship.
I was first on the show back in 2018 on their first ever "Consulting Corner" episode where they helped me work through some issues I was facing in my business.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being a return guest on the Tropical MBA podcast to talk about my journey over the last five years.
