Episode 86 — Successful Architecture Implementation (Roland wrote a book)
We are trying something new here at What’s Your Baseline? — J-M turns his focus on investigative journalism and starts asking the “hard questions” (and not just the softballs that I get from him at other times) 🙂
But in all seriousness — this episode of the podcast is a conversation between the two of us, while I play the guest role and did not cheat and did not look into our Notion outline while recording.
So, what is it all about? Well — some of you might have heard — I wrote a book, which will be officially published soon (this month!). And since it is about the first and second most popular topics of all What’s Your Baseline? podcasts, I think it is highly relevant for our audience.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:
- Why a book, why me, and why this book?
- How was the book writing/creation process?
- What does it take to become an author?
- Self-publishing versus an established publisher
- What is the book about? Who is it meant for?
- What is next for the book, the next thing, and What’s Your Baseline?
Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or sign up for our newsletter and get informed when we publish new episodes here: https://www.whatsyourbaseline.com/subscribe/.
Additional information
- The book is currently on preorder on Amazon here.
- As mentioned in the episode, here you can download the sample of the book (or just read it below 🙂 )
