#10 Businesses Breaking the Mold #2: The Author Incubator

Bridge to Being

Your Creative Sparks:

• It’s easy to give up a BAD story, but why might you give up a really GOOD STORY?
• Your book’s true purpose is to FIND the people you have a SOUL CONTRACT to work with and CHANGE their lives.
• You can’t say you want to change people’s lives unless you can COME CLEAN about your relationship with MONEY.

From the balcony of the Author’s Castle, Dr. Angela Lauria weaves her subversive storytelling magic with Lobsterbird as the sun sets over the Potomac River. After years of seeing the world in black and white, believing she had “lost the lottery” when it came to the good things, Angela learned that re-telling your personal story can turn everything into a rainbow of complexity and possibility. Now possessing these keys to the Queendom, Angela inspires hundreds of authors on a mission to impact the world in technicolor majesty. (WARNING: Explicit Language)

Your Travelogue

• While the Author Incubator launched in 2013, Dr. Angela Lauria’s “Call to Adventure” came in 2007, as she stood on empty in the pouring rain, having been fired a week before Christmas. She was mortified and resolved within herself, “I am never, ever going to be in a position where I can be fired again.” [7:19]
• We are all living the story believe about ourselves. If you want to change the story you are living, try re-telling your personal story. Not only did Angela change her own story, but now her business helps others retell their personal story while writing literally their books. [12:57]
• While the Author Incubator can boast a host of success indicators (Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing companies, $6M in revenue last year, etc.) Angela’s philosophy of abundance and how money works goes like this: It’s the Universe’s money. We are allowed to steward the Universe’s money in proportion to our responsibility level. [29:34]
• Angela’s mission is to overhaul the publishing industry. While the publishing industry made the world a better place for hundreds of years, the internet has changed the way important information arrives in the hands of the people who need it. In this era, authors have better options for getting their unadulterated message to the masses. [44:30]
• Angela’s secret weapon is her subversive art, methods she learned from improv acting and post-modern theatre. Her message to artists is to trust your training and instincts as an artist, even if you end up doing work that doesn’t feel like “art”. Your body of work as an artist can influence any other work you choose to do in magical ways. [54:20]
• You have a calling to fund your movement. Your mission requires money. You can’t change the world and disrupt the broken systems unless you collect more money than you spend to do your work. [1:01:00]
