Jason Feifer doesn’t believe in “launches.”
He believes in relationship capital.
As Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur, Jason has watched thousands of books fight for attention. The ones that win don’t market harder, they’ve already done the work years earlier.
In this conversation, Jason breaks down how he quietly builds goodwill, tracks favors, and earns trust long before he ever asks for blurbs, coverage, or support. He explains why most authors misunderstand networking, why blurbs are rarely about the book, and how a simple system can turn relationships into long-term leverage.
This episode is for authors who want momentum without begging.
Why favors compound like interest if you track them
How Jason’s “good contacts” system works in practice
The mistake most authors make when asking for help
How to build credibility before your book exists
Why patience beats visibility in the long run
If you want your book to change your trajectory, not just your bio, this episode shows how the work really gets done.
