Today's episode welcomes an extraordinary guest, Charles D'Amico, a successful entrepreneur from Metro-Detroit. Charles attributes his achievements to his foundational education and his journey through criminology, psychology, and the restaurant industry.

Charles graduated from Ball State back in '04 with degrees in criminology and psychology. He dipped his toes into the restaurant world before diving into entrepreneurship, starting with Blue Rock Consulting. Fueled by impending fatherhood, he went on to own 11 Jimmy John's stores and two other companies in just 22 months. Now, that's what I call a fast track to success!

Charles is not just a business whiz. In January 2020, right before the pandemic hit, he took on the challenge of writing a whopping 14 novels called 'The Neil Baggio Series.' His goal? To hit over a million words by the time he turns 40. This immersion into writing led him to address challenges in the publishing industry, particularly for writers left behind by the traditional system.

During his interview we dig deeper into:

• Using your diverse background for success
• Venturing into Indie Publishing
• Empathy and Sympathy: distinctions and perceptions
• Insights into being present and overcoming personal barriers

Charles D'Amico's journey is one for the books. He's not just about business; he's out there changing the game in the literary world. Join us for this laid-back chat with Charles, as we uncover the keys to his success and the wisdom he imparts to fellow entrepreneurs and authors alike.

He says, ""If you haven't put in a fraction of the effort you did as a child into walking, have you given as much as you can?"
