Polly Letofsky: Walking the World and Redefining Publishing
I had goals and I was so passionate about them, and when you're passionate, you're going to dig deeper and you're going to do what it takes and it's going to put you into way outside your comfort zone.
Ever imagined walking 14,000 miles across four continents? Polly Letofsky did just that, becoming the first woman to walk around the world. In this episode of The Funky Brain Business Podcast, Dennis Berry chats with Polly about her incredible journey. From earthquakes to muggings and even navigating through religious riots, Polly faced it all. But her story doesn’t stop at physical challenges. She also battled a deceitful publisher who scammed her out of her book rights.
Instead of giving up, Polly fought back, reclaimed her rights, and started her own publishing company to help others avoid similar pitfalls. Now, she’s an international keynote speaker and a guiding light for aspiring authors, offering insights from idea inception to marketing. This episode isn’t just about walking the world; it’s about resilience, passion, and helping others succeed. Tune in for an inspiring tale of determination and the importance of finding the right support on your journey.
