Mario Simonyan built one of the most specialized law firms in the country, helping e-commerce brands fight off IP infringers and unauthorized sellers.

In this episode, he shares how publishing At the Corner of IP and Amazon transformed his business development strategy, replacing disposable cold outreach with something prospects actually hold on to. Mario breaks down his exact playbook: cold mail campaigns with a book inside, sales consultations where his team references specific chapters, and conference giveaways that generate warm inbound leads weeks later.

Four years and nearly 10,000 copies later, he has zero regrets and is already planning his second book with Scribe.

MyLinh Shattan grew up between two cultures, an Irish American father and a Vietnamese mother, both storytellers.

She went to West Point as one of the first women to graduate, then spent decades writing, teaching, and serving. When her oldest daughter decided West Point was the only place for her, MyLinh couldn't sleep. That fear became the engine for her memoir, Raising Athena, published by Scribe Media with an audiobook releasing July 7th, the 50th anniversary of women at West Point and the 250th anniversary of the United States.

In this conversation, MyLinh and Eric discuss the decade-long writing process, the workshop model that sharpened her craft, what it means to be a mother in a family where all three children serve, and why she believes the widening civil-military gap is one of America's most urgent blind spots.

Harris Nydick has been in financial planning since the early eighties, when he was part of one of the first financial planning training classes at a major Manhattan firm. Over the next few decades, he built a specialty in 401(k) and 403(b) plans, and after carrying a book idea in his head for 10 years, he finally sat down on weekends to write it. The result was Common Financial Sense, a plain-English guide to 401(k) investing for working people who are smart but simply don't want to think about this stuff.

On this episode, Harris talks about the unexpected ROI of his book, how he got the father of the 401(k) to write the introduction, the orange Sharpie trick that changed how he wrote, and why signing every copy has kept his books off eBay for years.
