Manage episode 447161684 series 1303611
'They think the goal is to have the book, but no, the goal is to become the person it takes to write your book.'
Dan Kieran is a publishing legend: as a co-founder of Unbound he revolutionizing the industry by empowering authors and readers. He learned a lot about himself and about setting up a business along the way, and he brought all that together in Do Start, winner of the Startup Book of the Year at the Business Book Awards.
But he also firmly believes that writing isn't just, or even primarily, about the final product; it's the process itself, the way you understand and articulate your journey, both professionally and personally. Which is why turning to AI to generate your writing outputs for you is such a dangerous, self-defeating habit for anyone who cares about ideas.
Or as Dan put it: 'Why would anyone want to read something that you couldn't be bothered to write?'
