Maya Frost has taught thousands of people how to pay attention to what matters most. Most recently, she’s been focusing on innovations in education and how we can help our young people embrace their freedom to dig into the learning that lights them up. Her first book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education, was published by Random House/Crown in May. Maya has spent most of her life in the Pacific Northwest, but has traveled extensively and lived in Japan, Mexico and Argentina. With her four daughters happily launched, she is currently living in Buenos Aires with her husband and writing a novel about expats from all over the world who create new lives for themselves abroad.

You’re invited to join us today for a Book Chat at The Freelance Life podcast. Our guest will be Shel Horowitz, the Ethical Grassroots Marketing Expert for NAIWE, and author of many excellent books. We’ll be talking about Shel’s book, Principled Profit: Marketing that Puts People First.It’s what I call a “YES!” book– the principles and ideas presented are so compelling that you may find yourself shouting a few internal “YES’s” as you read. I could never (even if I wanted to) offer my copy for resale. I’ve written too much in the margins, and there’s half a pack of sticky notes fluttering from its pages!We’ll be talking with Shel about:

• What is Principled Profit?

• How and why should businesses seek alliances with their competitors.

• Examples of well-known companies that thrive by being nice.

• Does cooperative, ethical marketing cost more?

• The interesting fate of Principled Profit, and how you can get a copy before it’s gone. (Listen up, authors– this is an instructive publishing story!)

So join us for this half-hour program today at 3:30 pm EDT.
