WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100 Chancellor, would you introduce yourself, please? 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:04.679 Hey, how are you doing? My name is Chancellor 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.620 K. Jackson. I'm born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:10.779 Played football majority of my life, so that's 00:00:10.779 --> 00:00:13.439 a huge component to just my overall identity. 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.460 Played all throughout high school, got an opportunity 00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:19.359 to play Division I college football down at Stetson 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.120 University. After I graduated from Stetson, I 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.899 landed my first job teaching English to kids, 00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:27.750 so I lived in China. for a little bit post -college 00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.410 ended up getting locked up in china served 14 00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:35.009 after i was released from beijing jail number 00:00:35.009 --> 00:00:37.850 six came back to america continue to work education 00:00:37.850 --> 00:00:41.039 fell into culture high school football, started 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.539 writing my first book, 14 Days in Beijing. And 00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:45.960 from that point on, here we are, what, year six, 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.579 seven. And we got six books that we published, 00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:50.679 four that I've written, two that I've helped 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.799 publish. We also started our own publishing company, 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.320 Corley Publications LLC, and we coach people 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.000 through the writing and publishing process as 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.740 well. So this, who... Essentially who I am in 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.480 a nutshell. Incredible. Oh, my gosh. I'm like, 00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:07.219 I've got 50 billion questions for you now. Like, 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.959 whoa, that's insane. But we're just going to 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.019 answer one for today. And it's this. Tell me 00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:17.180 about your vision, please. My vision. So currently, 00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.819 I say my vision is to continue to grow Corley 00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:26.000 Publications LLC. It's a household name in the 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.319 publishing. And I foresee Kole Publications being 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.260 a publishing company that thrives off of self 00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:37.000 -published authors, so independent authors. We 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.099 have a bunch of independent authors that signed 00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:41.000 under us, or at least that's publishing through 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.120 us, but they're entitled to all the rights and 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.180 royalties of their work. They're just using us 00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:49.920 as a platform to get to that step. Of course, 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.260 we won't just stop at books. I foresee... movies, 00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:57.579 TV shows, documentaries, animations, music, you 00:01:57.579 --> 00:01:58.879 know what I'm saying? Probably the whole nine, 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.280 you know what I'm saying? And the longevity. 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.939 And then, of course, continue to promote and 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:12.379 expand my other side hustles that I got. I wear 00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:15.819 a lot of different hats. But yeah, that's essentially 00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:19.319 the vision, Corlett Publications LLC, to be... 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.939 a well -known, a well -respected publishing company. 00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:26.120 Incredible. Now, who, like, what would make the 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.500 perfect author for your company? Anybody that's 00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:33.060 just willing to put their story out there. A 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:36.939 lot of people claim they want to publish a book 00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:39.639 or write a book or got concepts or idea for a 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.259 book. And then when it's time to get down to 00:02:42.259 --> 00:02:45.259 the nitty gritty. it gets quiet. You know what 00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:46.819 I'm saying? So anybody that's really out there 00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:48.280 and that's really serious and that's about it, 00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:50.879 hey, man, Kool -Aid Publications is a public 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.139 company for you.

So you ain't 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.479 got to fear, you know what I'm saying, that you 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.599 done paid us, and okay, now they ain't going 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.000 nowhere to be found. Like, no, we're going to 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.560 be right there in your corner, right behind you. 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.240 really on the back of your heel so it's gonna 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.500 you won't feel that pressure you won't feel that 00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.300 fire for sure so it's really up to you on how 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:13.300 fast we can knock this thing out um but if becoming 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.060 a publisher author something that you serious 00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:17.900 about doing especially a bestseller hey tap in 00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:20.120 with us because that's all we produce my books 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.539 personally and then the other people i've worked 00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:25.199 with as well have ongoing number one new bestseller 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.719 um in their respective genre multiple genres 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.460 um at that upon debut of us releasing our books 00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:34.569 so That's pretty cool. And are you helping them 00:03:34.569 --> 00:03:37.889 with the editing? What's their role and what's 00:03:37.889 --> 00:03:40.550 your role in it? Where does that break? It's 00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:42.909 on where they're at with the process. It's just 00:03:42.909 --> 00:03:46.090 an idea and a concept and that's all it is. Okay, 00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:49.030 then we got to, of course, get it out, get an 00:03:49.030 --> 00:03:50.129 outline, you know what I'm saying, get it on 00:03:50.129 --> 00:03:52.789 paper so you have a blueprint on how to go about 00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:55.629 writing the book. And then from that point on, 00:03:55.689 --> 00:03:56.930 of course, you're going to get the book written 00:03:56.930 --> 00:03:59.770 and find something to edit it down thoroughly. 00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:03.110 And then once that's done, one of the biggest 00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:04.969 bulks of the, you know what I'm saying, the process. 00:04:05.169 --> 00:04:07.969 You get that done, self -publishing, that's easy. 00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:09.830 That's a breeze then, you know what I'm saying? 00:04:09.969 --> 00:04:12.210 It's a cakewalk. And then the biggest, the next 00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:14.969 big workload is marketing on the back end. So 00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:16.470 it really just depends on where you're at in 00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:18.149 the process, right? You either got the story 00:04:18.149 --> 00:04:20.209 written and just don't know how to go about publishing 00:04:20.209 --> 00:04:22.990 it, or just got an idea that you don't even know 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:24.850 how to go about writing it. And then, of course, 00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:26.399 you know what I'm saying? Obviously, you'll cross 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.120 that bridge once we get to it. Thank you for 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.139 being here today. I'm really happy that you tuned 00:04:30.139 --> 00:04:32.420 in to Vision Pros Live.
