I am excited to welcome Melissa Wilson, Founder and CEO of Networlding and Networlding Publishing Inc. She’s writing book 18 and 19 and is a 5-time best-selling author. James and Melissa talk about the first step to writing your book, the benefits of networking and the science that shows us why it’s so effective.

Personally, Melissa helped me tremendously during the process of writing my first book, so when Melissa says she is the best friend of thought leaders that want to make a difference in the world, I can attest to her commitment.
