Summary
Michael Erath joins Eric Jorgenson to walk through eight years and three Scribe-published books as the centerpiece of a 9-person coaching firm. Michael's first book, Rise, was a personal memoir about a business partner who embezzled half a million dollars and the marriage strain that followed; readers still reach out years later to share their own versions of the story. By his third book, The Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations, Michael had pivoted from a ghostwriter to writing every word himself with a Scribe coach, rerecorded his Audible himself in Scribe's studio, and built an AI clone as a funnel companion. He breaks down concrete numbers for the first time on Author Hour: 75 to 100 books mailed per month, ~$16 landed cost per book, an audiobook he calls the legacy artifact his great-grandkids will hear, and the line he gives to anyone considering authorship — "if your goal in writing a book is to retire on book sales, it's probably not going to happen." The episode closes on Eric's max for the editing phase: craftsmanship has no deadline.
