Cole Brauer #3 // Writing her book, FIRST LIGHT
Show notes
Cole Brauer & I could have talked for another hour after the last time she was on the show, so this time we did just that! I chatted to Cole during her book tour for the release of her memoir FIRST LIGHT (out now!). She'd been on a whirlwind travel schedule, and I'm pretty sure was talking to me from a hotel in New York. We discussed ""extroverting"" and the energy that takes from both of us, the process of getting her book to the world, her story of recording the audiobook version in a studio in London and much, much more. Make sure to get your copy of Cole's book FIRST LIGHT, it's great!
