Dave Lukas Chats with Mitchell Levy184: How to Truly Stand Out and Gain Credibility with Mitchell Levy
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Mitchell Levy. Mitchell is a global Credibility Expert, TEDx speaker and international best-selling author of over 60 books. He is a serial entrepreneur who has created twenty businesses in Silicon Valley including four publishing companies that have published over 800 books. Mitchell and his teams help clients with positioning, establishing their credibility, marketing themselves, and creating best-selling books. He’s provided strategic consulting to over one hundred companies and has been chairman of the board of a NASDAQ-listed company. Needless to say, Mitchell knows a thing or two about how to stand out and share your value in the world. And that is exactly what I’ve asked him to come on the show and teach you how to do. www.MitchellLevy360.com Show NotesMitchell starts by talking about what he does today. He works with busy professionals that want to increase their credibility with a book, but don’t have time. His firm makes you a best-selling author and does everything for your book with you putting in 8-10 hours of work.
Before he got into publishing, he was an e-commerce/business strategist in the Dotcom boom. In fact, he was labeled “Mr. E-commerce” during that time. It was great during the boom and not great when everything went under. Almost overnight, he lost a lot of revenue streams. In the early 2000’s, he saw the democratization of book publishing on the horizon and capitalized on it. His firms published over 800 books from 2005-2017. But he says that he was serving the wrong audience. He wanted to change the world, but was doing it in the wrong way. He did a Ted Talk and a Kickstarter to fund a company that was not serving people who wanted to write a book, but for people that wanted a book and had great ideas, but didn’t have the time. During this time, he started to become a thought leader on global credibility. He currently has a initiative to interview over 500 top minds on credibility. The information being gained on this initiative is driving his next decade of business solutions. What’s your process for finding a market and maximizing how you succeed in it?
At the 14 min mark, Mitchell and I discuss partnerships… What is the #1 thing an individual or business can do to cement credibility?
What is a book?
What is an “Aha” message?
Are there specific sections that every book should have or does it vary by author?
What has to be done to become a best-seller?
What is a CPOP?
At the 44-minute mark, I dig one of Mitchell’s old principles, the HELP principle and we have some fun with him remembering it…
At the 47 min mark, Mitchell talks about other patterns/thing he’s learned from the hundreds of interviews on credibility he’s done.

Misfits, I want to introduce you to TunnelBear. You may not know this, but I am a victim of hacking and identity theft. In fact, over 40,000 Americans per day are affected by these crimes. You read that right, more than 40,000 per day. Like me, you may be one of them as well. And it’s easy to understand why with all the public wifi we use. Whether you work from time to time in coffee shops, or you or your teams travel often, work remotely, or have a “bring your own device to work” policy, it’s almost impossible to avoid using public Wi-Fi for work.
