Please welcome him to the show… Big Promise: How to Become a Media Star I’m going to teach you how to become a media Star.

Understand that authority is a currency. The more that you have, the more fabulous prizes you can exchange that currency for.

So, it really is the rocket fuel that makes everything go as an author. And, I’ll tell you that as you work with people who have higher authority and influence than you, this brings you up. So, the game is now that we just want to associate with high-authority and influential people as much as possible. A great way to do that is through the media or with other digital influencers.
