187: From College Dropout to 8-Figure CEO with Chandler Bolt - 8FE

Episode 187

Struggling to scale your business without burning out? One book could change everything.

In this episode of Beyond A Million, Chandler Bolt returns to share how one book helped drive $7 million in revenue, not from royalties, but from its deep integration into every corner of his business. The founder of Self Publishing School and author of Published, breaks down the real strategy behind writing books that generate leads, close sales, and onboard employees at scale.

We also take a look at the big picture: hiring A-players vs. farm league talent, what it means to "go pro" in content creation, and why Chandler transitioned from a fully remote company to building a culture-driven in-person office. Along the way, Chandler shares painful (and expensive) lessons from his early years, like partnering out of insecurity and undervaluing top talent, and how they helped him grow to multi-8-figure success.

Whether you're thinking about writing a book or scaling your ops team, this episode is packed with strategy, structure, and straight talk.
