Have you ever wondered what happens when the machines start feeding on their own tails, churning out content that’s nothing more than regurgitated digital slop from the very algorithms that birthed it? It’s a question that’s keeping me up at night, not because I’m afraid of AI, but because I see the writing on the […]

There isn’t any doubt I have failed at more things in my life than I can count Oh hell, who am I kidding? I remember every single fail. Each failure has shaped me, making me who I am, and each failure has revealed more about myself than I expected. Yet, I’m here to tell you, […]

Have you ever paused mid-scroll, captivated by a story that feels like it’s talking directly to your soul? Have you felt that and then had this doubt, only to wonder: Were those words generated by AI or a human? I’ve spent over a decade ghostwriting books, memoirs, and thought leadership narratives that not only inform, […]

Are you a professional with years of experience in an industry that requires authenticity, competence, precision, and tenacity? Have you applied your self-taught techniques to conventional templates to achieve better results? To the extent that you now have a systemized template that works for you? Your very own secret recipe that is unique to how […]

The other day, I came across a post discussing the silent killer: the slow devaluation of writers, ghostwriters, and the essential craft we deliver. I had to agree reluctantly, and as a writer and ghostwriter who’s been in the game for years, I’ve seen firsthand the value of our craft take a significant hit, and […]

Having ghostwritten over forty-plus books for innovators, physicians, executives, coaches, and entrepreneurs, initially, having a lone book was the norm and was standalone. Once released, the book was relied upon to build business and work its magic. Today, a standalone book isn’t enough in the fast-paced market. It takes a hell of a lot more. […]

 If you’ve been in the trenches of leadership or professional development over the past few years, you know exactly what I’m talking about when I mention the Great Resignation. It hit like a tidal wave back in 2021, right as the world was stumbling out of the pandemic, and honestly, it’s still rippling through workplaces […]

As a ghostwriter who’s spent a decade crafting stories on a deeply human level, I’ve watched the rise of AI with a mix of fascination and frustration. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not some Luddite shaking my fist at the machines. But let’s be real: the way AI has been weaponized in content creation lately? It’s […]

As someone who’s ghostwritten for executives, celebrities, and thought leaders for over ten years, I know the heart of a great book lies in its human vulnerability—the raw, spirited emotions, the personal struggles, the triumphs that make readers feel seen. But lately, with AI bursting into the publishing scene like a roaring freight train, it […]

Gotham Ghostwriters recently released a survey about AI’s impact on ghostwriting. I made sure to answer the survey to give my point of view. As I answered the questions, it suddenly struck me like a ton of bricks. How does AI affect the emotional element in writing? With the recent skyrocketing buzz about AI in […]

If you’ve ever wondered how some of the world’s top entrepreneurs turn their life experiences into goldmines of influence and impact, you’re in the right place. I’ve spent years ghostwriting for executives, helping them craft books that blend personal narratives with hard-hitting business advice. And let me tell you, nothing packs a punch like a […]

As an entrepreneur for the past twenty-five years, I have doled out thousands of posts, insights, reflections, and ideas on social media, all in the name of gaining traction and to be seen in the marketplace. Most of it worked and was effective, but recently, I’ve been walloped by what I’ve done. I thought long […]

Over the years, I’ve poured my soul into sharing what I know about growing businesses, book writing, and the spirit and craft of writing online, and one lesson stands out: As a leader, your insights, expertise, and hard-won experiences are too precious to waste on throwaway social media posts that vanish like smoke. I’ve been […]

I’ve spent over two decades helping leaders and authors transform their ideas into impactful books that don’t just sit on shelves—they drive real results. If you’ve ever published a book, you know the thrill of holding that finished product in your hands. I’ve seen it too many times. And it’s a shame. The author, after […]

I’ll never forget the day I sat across from a potential client, a small business owner with big dreams of publishing a book to establish herself as an authority in her niche. She was passionate, driven, and had a story that could inspire thousands.  I was excited and believed the meeting was going great, until […]

I’ve been in the trenches of the writing and publishing world for over a decade, ghostwriting for Fortune 500 executives, crafting bestsellers that shift paradigms, and building Mangus Media Group into a powerhouse for visionary leaders. And through it all, above everything else, I’ve learned one critical fact—much like my friend Neil Patel hammers home […]

Want to know the real secret to building influence in 2025? It’s not just about shaking hands at a conference. It’s not just about your LinkedIn profile. It’s about a new, powerful blend of the two: the integrated handshake. As the CEO of Mangus Media Group, I see leaders struggling with this every day. They’re […]

 Whizzing through my YouTube feed, I recently came across a thumbnail for a video on writing that said, “Why Is There So Much Bad Writing?” Intrigued, I quickly clicked on it. Turns out it was an interview with Harvard psychology professor and noted linguist Steven Pinker. He was being interviewed by David Perell, a YouTube […]

I’ve had many conversations with authors, and I’ve noticed a pattern. The truth is, it’s a fear. It’s the fear that if they write a book, they won’t have anything left. It’s as if their entire creative well will dry up, and they’ll have nothing more to talk about. I call it “seeing the end […]

Here is what I see a lot. Most authors make a huge mistake. How? They spend months—sometimes years—writing their book. They pour their heart and soul into every chapter, every paragraph, every sentence. They finally reach that magical moment when they type “The End,” and in their mind, the hard work is over. They have […]
