Music has defined so much of my life that it feels as if music notes are part of my DNA. From growing up at the foot of my Dad’s drum set as he rocked out to ZZ Top, to my 2nd grade “talent” show where I danced in a blue unitard and headband to Lionel Richie’s Dancing on the Ceiling, to years later when I became a musician of my own. On a karaoke stage, you can find me belting Cher’s If I Could Turn Back Time, if I need an energy boost, it’s some 90’s hip hop, and if I’m sad and need to cry it out, it’s Adele or some Tswift ballads.Family dance parties: Motown and MJCooking: The Nancy Meyers playlistMusic has always been in the background of my life. That’s why I’m thrilled to share this week’s episode of the Bound & Determined pod!This week I’m chatting with Alan Light, an Emmy Award-winning music journalist, a bestselling author, and the co-host of the music news podcast “Sound Up! With Mark Goodman and Alan Light.” He’s also the former Editor-in-Chief of Spin and Vibe magazines, and a former Senior Writer at Rolling Stone.Alan is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Esquire, among other publications. His latest book is DON’T STOP: WHY WE (STILL) LOVE FLEETWOOD MAC’S RUMOURS, and his previous titles include THE HOLY OR THE BROKEN, about the song “Hallelujah” (which was adapted into an acclaimed documentary), as well as biographies of Prince, Nina Simone, and Johnny Cash. by @richellefredson

Since my manuscript has been turned in to @hachetteus @legacylitbooks , I’ve received a lot of questions about what DO THE THING is actually about. While I can’t spill the beans on the full context or show you the cover just yet, I wanted to let you see yourself inside the vision for this book. I wrote it for you. After 23 years helping incredible people bring books and products into the world, I get to share my formula with all of you in my own book. Here’s where you can help:I’m collecting endorsements from powerful women creators that are living proof of trusting your ideas and taking action on them. If you know these folks or have a connection to them, please shout it out!@thehomeedit @cleashearer @sarablakely @elizabeth_gilbert_writer @shondarhimes @barbaracorcoran @reesewitherspoon @hellosunshine by @richellefredson

You set out to write a book. You worked your tush off (and probably still are)...but somewhere along the way, without anyone warning you, you also became an entrepreneur.That’s the part nobody talks about when it comes to authorship. And it’s SUPER important to know what is ahead so you can give it your all. You can nail your idea, land the agent, even get the deal and still hit pub day and think: okay, now what? Who’s actually going to buy this? How do I build an audience around it? How does this thing make me money beyond the advance?And all those answers come back to your community. Your platform. And for some, your business. That’s exactly what I’m digging into on this week’s Bound + Determined pod. My guest is @lindsratow founder of Nicely Done (@nicely.done.agency), an agency that helps creative thinkers grow and monetize their platforms with integrity. Before starting Nicely Done, Lindsay spent over 15 years as the right hand to some of the best-known names in thought leadership, including co-founding Esther Perel Global Media, where she helped build a content and digital product ecosystem that generated hundreds of thousands of new subscribers and millions in revenue.In other words: she’s spent her whole career doing the thing most authors don’t realize they need until it’s too late — turning expertise into something sustainable.You don’t want to miss this episode… by @richellefredson
