Today's episode starts out with a BIG announcement! A new event is coming to the Idea Collective - The Small Business Rebellion: Chicago presented by Relay - and you won't want to miss it. And if that wasn't enough, my first guest today is Mike Michalowicz, the best-selling author of Profit First. Mike will be giving not one, but TWO keynote addresses at the Small Business Rebellion and is here to give us a taste of what he will be sharing in his keynotes.

Also on this episode:

• Self-Publishing / Marketing - Most of us probably have an idea for a book somewhere inside of us that we plan to publish "someday". Maybe you've even gone as far as to put a few thoughts on paper. Chuck Copenspire, founder and marketing strategist for Identity Pending is talking to us all about self-publishing. And you may find that it's not as hard to do as you might think.
• Hiring / Business Growth - Your business is growing. Now what?! If you're ready to add your first full-time employee, Andy Weins, speaker, author, and entrepreneur is sharing his experience and tips for hiring.
• Celebration / AI Coaching - We're celebrating with Stephanie Desaulniers, owner of Business by Dezign and how she is using AI for coaching.
