Building a Community for Readers with Danielle Walker, New York Times bestselling cookbook author

Hello, Protagonists!

My guest today is Danielle Walker, New York Times bestselling author of many cookbooks, including her latest, Make it Easy. She has appeared many times on The Today Show, was named a Forbes 30 Under 30, and also writes a very popular Substack with nearly 100k subscribers.

But that’s not why I chose her for you. Danielle is a beacon of kindness, and she has won the loyalty of legions of readers through her authenticity as an advocate for those with autoimmune diseases like hers. We met for the first time earlier this year at a writer’s event in San Francisco, and she struck me immediately with her warm smile and generosity.

Today we talk about:

• building community as a writer

• the intersection of book titles and branding

• behind the scenes of The Today Show

• the creative process of recipe creation, and so much more.

I hope you enjoy the show!
