This week on The Merri-Cast podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Mindy Gibbins-Klein – Founder of The Book Midwife and Giving 1 Percent.
Mindy describes herself as an “accidental entrepreneur”, but what an accident it turned out to be! Redundancy pushed her into building a career that’s empowered thousands of authors, leaders and entrepreneurs to share their stories with the world.
In our conversation, Mindy shares powerful insights that will inspire anyone thinking about writing a book, growing a business or leading with purpose.
Key highlights from the episode include:
• Books as legacy – A book is a “sacred part of you going out into the world.” Too many people die with their book still inside them.
• Thoughtful leadership vs. thought leadership – Don’t call yourself a thought leader. Let the market decide.
• Giving 1% – From her TEDx talk, small and consistent giving can make a huge impact. Could you live on 99% of your income and give 1% to causes you care about?
• Mindy’s advice for entrepreneurs – be clear about where you’re going, check in with yourself often, and don’t let others’ opinions dictate your path.
This episode is full of Mindy’s trademark energy and practical wisdom. If you’ve wondered how to stand out as a genuine leader or simply want to make a big difference with small, consistent actions, this conversation is for you.
Don’t let your story, your book or your leadership stay hidden.
