Episode 41: Zachry Wheeler - English Football, Marketing for Authors, the Challenges of Immortality

In this episode, I chat with Zachry Wheeler about his love of English Football, his experiences with marketing books as an independent author, and the personal and social challenges of immortality. We also discuss the challenges of moving from technical writing to storytelling, avoiding the pitfalls of storytelling in the multiverse, and the swinging pendulum of societal tribalism.

As usual, there's also The Lightning Round and The Big Questions.

Books of his we discuss are: The Immortal Wake series, the Max and the Multiverse series, and Puki Horpocket Presents
