Book:
An Author’s Legacy
Craig Martelle and Audrey Hughey
One of the smartest financial decisions a creative can make isn’t one that will affect anything during their lifetime. An Author’s Legacy: A Planner to Ensure An Author Lives On, Long After Death, a newly released workbook by 20BooksTo50K® co-founder Craig Martelle and Author Transformation Alliance founder Audrey Hughey, prepares you—and your executor—for the smoothest possible transition of your estate after your death, including your intellectual property, works-in-progress, business accounts, digital and physical assets, and more. The book is not yet available, but anyone interested can fill out the form linked above to be included on the mailing list when the book is available to order, and those attending Author Nation can pick up a copy in person.
Tool:
Google Keep
A free tool in Google’s suite of apps and products, Google Keep gives users a way to record ideas on the go and keep them accessible anywhere. Type out text notes and lists, add photos, or record audio memos; your messages are all stored on Google Drive and accessible across all devices with an internet connection. The option to color-code and filter your notes means you can jot down an idea without worry and return to it whenever inspiration strikes.
Podcast:
Planet Money
Planet Money’s hosts know you likely don’t have many burning questions about the economy, but they have the answers to all the questions you should be asking, in language you’ll understand. Hosted by NPR, the podcast’s twice-weekly episodes connect big topics and current events back to the economy, showing how the effects ripple outward. Whether you understand big-picture economics or just think you do, Planet Money will explain what you need to know—and make it more entertaining than that personal finance class you took in high school.
