📙 🎂 My book had a birthday! 🎊 🎉


Hello Reader,

This week marks the 1-year anniversary of the publication of my first book, Marketing Yourself.

Here's the replay of the Launch Party. During this 45-minute video, recorded last year, you can see:

  • the book covers I (almost) used
  • the 4 levels of a Personal Platform
  • the 4 Cornerstones that elevate your platform to the next level
  • An overview of the book from Sharí Alexander, who wrote the foreword

Writing this book took me five years, because I wanted it to be good. People say it's a worthwhile read:

“There are books that you read – and there are books that you USE. Caelan has written the second kind. Consider this your action guide, implementation kit, and field manual for marketing success. Page after page of money making ideas that work and last.”
– David Newman, Chairman of Million Dollar Speakers Group
“The most actionable marketing book I’ve ever seen! Great step-by-step instructions with memorable examples. Loved it.”
– Derek Sivers, Author of Anything You Want
“What a great read for entrepreneurs keen to get the word out there but with no idea where to start. What I love about this book is how intensely practical it is, without the marketing-talk or fluff that can really put you off marketing yourself!
And let’s face it, if he can market himself from the jungle, you can do it from your lounge room.”
– Rebecca Houghton, CEO of BoldHR

I'm especially proud of finishing this book before the world of generative AI transformed content production. No bots were used in the creation of this book!

🎁 Here's my gift to you:

You can download the PDF or EPUB digital copy of Marketing Yourself. This is a full copy of the manuscript, and I hope it helps you grow your business and increase your impact in the world.

If it does, I'd love to hear about it on the hashtag #MarketingYourselfBook.

🃏 “The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play.” - Arthur C. Clarke Hello Reader, One of my core values is that learning should be fun. That’s why I use games to teach in my AI training workshops — so we can get more done in good cheer. Most people approach learning like it’s medicine. They expect serious work to feel heavy, and to wait for fun until after work is finished. But our near future won't reward endurance, it will reward curiosity. Throughout history, technology has...

🎢 “We’re Entering an era where intelligence will no longer be a limited resource." - Reid Hoffman Hello Reader, Last week at AgentCamp in Christchurch, hosted by Steve Knutson at Stratos Technology Partners, I spoke about a shift that is quietly transforming how people work with AI.
