Chancellor, would you introduce yourself, please?
Hey, how are you doing? My name is Chancellor
K. Jackson. I'm born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.
Played football majority of my life, so that's
a huge component to just my overall identity.
Played all throughout high school, got an opportunity
to play Division I college football down at Stetson
University. After I graduated from Stetson, I
landed my first job teaching English to kids,
so I lived in China. for a little bit post -college
ended up getting locked up in china served 14
after i was released from beijing jail number
six came back to america continue to work education
fell into culture high school football, started
writing my first book, 14 Days in Beijing. And
from that point on, here we are, what, year six,
seven. And we got six books that we published,
four that I've written, two that I've helped
publish. We also started our own publishing company,
Corley Publications LLC, and we coach people
through the writing and publishing process as
well. So this, who... Essentially who I am in
a nutshell. Incredible. Oh, my gosh. I'm like,
I've got 50 billion questions for you now. Like,
whoa, that's insane. But we're just going to
answer one for today. And it's this. Tell me
about your vision, please. My vision. So currently,
I say my vision is to continue to grow Corley
Publications LLC. It's a household name in the
publishing. And I foresee Kole Publications being
a publishing company that thrives off of self
-published authors, so independent authors. We
have a bunch of independent authors that signed
under us, or at least that's publishing through
us, but they're entitled to all the rights and
royalties of their work. They're just using us
as a platform to get to that step. Of course,
we won't just stop at books. I foresee... movies,
TV shows, documentaries, animations, music, you
know what I'm saying? Probably the whole nine,
you know what I'm saying? And the longevity.
And then, of course, continue to promote and
expand my other side hustles that I got. I wear
a lot of different hats. But yeah, that's essentially
the vision, Corlett Publications LLC, to be...
a well -known, a well -respected publishing company.
Incredible. Now, who, like, what would make the
perfect author for your company? Anybody that's
just willing to put their story out there. A
lot of people claim they want to publish a book
or write a book or got concepts or idea for a
book. And then when it's time to get down to
the nitty gritty. it gets quiet. You know what
I'm saying? So anybody that's really out there
and that's really serious and that's about it,
hey, man, Kool -Aid Publications is a public
company for you. We can guide you throughout
the entire process, and we will be hands -on
with you. You know what I'm saying? So you ain't
got to fear, you know what I'm saying, that you
done paid us, and okay, now they ain't going
nowhere to be found. Like, no, we're going to
be right there in your corner, right behind you.
really on the back of your heel so it's gonna
you won't feel that pressure you won't feel that
fire for sure so it's really up to you on how
fast we can knock this thing out um but if becoming
a publisher author something that you serious
about doing especially a bestseller hey tap in
with us because that's all we produce my books
personally and then the other people i've worked
with as well have ongoing number one new bestseller
um in their respective genre multiple genres
um at that upon debut of us releasing our books
so That's pretty cool. And are you helping them
with the editing? What's their role and what's
your role in it? Where does that break? It's
on where they're at with the process. It's just
an idea and a concept and that's all it is. Okay,
then we got to, of course, get it out, get an
outline, you know what I'm saying, get it on
paper so you have a blueprint on how to go about
writing the book. And then from that point on,
of course, you're going to get the book written
and find something to edit it down thoroughly.
And then once that's done, one of the biggest
bulks of the, you know what I'm saying, the process.
You get that done, self -publishing, that's easy.
That's a breeze then, you know what I'm saying?
It's a cakewalk. And then the biggest, the next
big workload is marketing on the back end. So
it really just depends on where you're at in
the process, right? You either got the story
written and just don't know how to go about publishing
it, or just got an idea that you don't even know
how to go about writing it. And then, of course,
you know what I'm saying? Obviously, you'll cross
that bridge once we get to it. Thank you for
