Ep. #941: Kyle Hunt on Writing, Reading the Right Books, Marketing, and More

Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify | Listen on YouTube

Kyle Hunt and Mike Matthews talk shop about business and marketing, what it’s like writing books, how they decide what books to read and why, how they efficiently get the most out of those books and put the information they learn to use, and more.

This podcast is a low-key discussion with my buddy Kyle Hunt where we share a “behind the scenes” look at the process of writing, revising, publishing, and marketing books, how we pick and choose books to read, how we take notes and learn from those books, and more. Specifically, we chat about . . .

  • The “sausage process” of writing books and what it’s like working with editors
  • How we revise and update books to take them from “minimum viable product” to masterwork
  • How we decide what books to read (and how we take notes)
  • Publishing books and marketing them
  • The “magic” of finding the right timing for a business or idea
  • And more . . .

In case you’re not familiar with Kyle, he’s a repeat podcast guest and author of several books, including Bodybuilding For Beginners and Strength Training For Beginners. He’s also a competitive powerlifter, coach, owner of Hunt Fitness, and podcaster, who’s the host of The Absolute Strength Podcast, which I’ve been a guest on a number of times.

So, if you’re at all curious about what it takes to write a book, what the research and editing process looks like, or just want to hear two authors chat about business, marketing, and writing, I think you’ll enjoy this podcast! Press play and let me know what you think!

The Case for Floundering and Quitting

Comparing yourself to other fitness folk is a sure way to feel lousy.  There’s always someone who looks better, lifts more weight, and has more of whatever you want. The deck is stacked. You can’t win. So turn your gaze inward instead, looking only at who you were, are, and hope to become. Everyone wants to tell you what to do, too–what to eat, what not to eat, what burns fat, what doesn’t, what’s evidence-based, what isn’t. But ultimately, whatever works for you is valid. Your fitness is yours. To explore. To evolve. To enjoy.  So don’t let anybody railroad you into a lifestyle that doesn’t serve you. And don’t be afraid to allow that lifestyle to evolve in step with your goals and priorities. You know your needs. Trust yourself. You don’t have to get it right the first time, either. Or the second. You have as many chances to lose fat and build muscle as you’d like.  And guess what?  It’s okay to flounder, too. Some days, you’ll try to weigh anchor, but the wi...
