Many years ago, I introduced a new format alongside our regular episodes called "Lessons for Hannah." Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her dad and his Misfit friends throughout her life… even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of Lessons for Hannah, I urge you to do so as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I'm going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun, and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don't hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We'd love to share it.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Yanik Silver — and this is one I've been genuinely looking forward to, because Yanik might be one of the truest misfits I've ever had on this show.

Yanik started out as a classic bootstrapping entrepreneur, writing his first sales letter and building a string of successful companies from scratch — he's the author of best-selling books like Maverick Startup, 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs, and Evolved Enterprise. But somewhere along the way, he did something most successful entrepreneurs never do: he asked whether business could be about more than just profit. That question led him to create Maverick1000 — an invitation-only global network of top entrepreneurs that's been called "the world's weirdest mastermind." This is a group where you might find Yanik running with the bulls, flying MiG jets, doing zero-gravity flights, or wearing matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island — all while these entrepreneurs grow their companies and give millions back to the world.

His whole philosophy lives at the intersection of three words: growth, impact, and fun. He believes business can be the single biggest lever for changing the world, and his lifetime goal is to connect visionary leaders to help solve 100 of the world's biggest problems by the year 2100. So today we're going to get into how he built all of this, why fun and impact aren't distractions from success but accelerators of it, and how any entrepreneur can build a business and a life — that actually matters.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Marji Ross.

Marji spent nearly two decades as President and Publisher of Regnery Publishing — and she was the first person outside the Regnery family to ever hold that role. Under her leadership, the company doubled in sales and put more than 85 books on national bestseller lists, including 14 titles that hit number one. She worked hand-in-hand with some of the most high-profile authors in the country, and before publishing, she cut her teeth in the world of direct marketing and newsletters, where she developed a rare skill set: not just how to make a great book, but how to actually sell one.

And that's what makes this conversation so valuable for entrepreneurs. Because here's the truth Marji understands better than almost anyone — writing the book is only half the battle. The other half is turning that book into influence, authority, and real revenue. Today she runs Marji Ross Consulting, helping thought leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs build their brands and their businesses through books. So whether you've written a book, you're thinking about writing one, or you just want to understand how the smartest people build authority and turn ideas into income — this one's for you.
