Indie authors struggle with getting their works out into the public without the backing of the big five publishing houses. It's a tough barrier of entry for most.Recent tools have allowed writers to publish their works at a scale of 2-to-1 according to Patomi Media Group founder, Naomi Blackburn.

A diversity of reading material also means diversity in thought.That is where Patomi Media Group comes in linking up indie authors with possible outlets and linking readers to up and coming indie authors. She does this by leveraging a magazine to bridge relationships among librarians, readers, and indie authors.Deeper StoryWe will also get to hear Naomi's deeper story about a career rut that led to a layoff.

Midlife is a time when we lose our hair, groan when we stand up and don't quite have the spring in our step like we used to.Youth cannot be found again through the purchase of a sportscar or dating a younger woman.According to author and speaker Brene Brown, midlife is when the universe grabs you by the shoulders and tells you it is time to use the gifts we were given. It is time to get off the couch and put our leisure time into impact time.It's been 40 years or so, and many of us are not yet living the dream.
