TPW 075: Jacob Airey on Fighting Through a Bad Publishing Deal

Jacob Airey loved stories from the day his parents bought him The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at the age of 9. From that book spawned a love of reading stories and from that: a love for writing them. Since then, he has written the novel Cacophony: A Tale Of Faith And Fear. In this interview, Ryan and Jacob discuss his early misfortune of a traditional publishing deal gone bad, our fascination with Geek Culture, how to write in multiple genres, and much, much, more.

The Art of Paying Attention
The Art of Paying Attention
What do you pay attention to? How do I determine what's worthy of my limited attention? It’s the questions every human asks at some point, and the questions we MUST ask, to thrive in this one precious life.
And it’s these types of questions (and more), we want to wrestle with on The Art of Paying Attention.
We believe the work of paying attention is not optional, and something we all must learn to do well. The poet Mary Oliver said, "To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”
Every week, we'll consider this endless, and proper work, of paying attention. What do we see? What are we learning? WHAT or WHO needs MORE attention? Join writer, creator, teacher, and accidental entrepreneur, Ryan J. Pelton, as he explores with others, the essential Art of Paying Attention.
Most episodes feature an interview with a bonafide "attention-collector" working in the arenas of creativity, art, music, writing, publishing, entrepreneurship/business, and spirituality. Join in the conversation and learn to see with new eyes a world bursting with hints of hope. Often in the most unlikely places.
