Creating Jobs for Yourself and Pitching Companies

About the workshop

Pedro was one of the first hires at Self Publishing School (after pitching the founder and creating a job that didn’t exist) and grew with the company to his current role leading Business Development. He’s a great example of using forward tilt on the job to create new positions for yourself. He’s also the author of a book, I Wish Everyone Was An Immigrant, so if you’re interested in writing and the business of books, this will be a great call for you!
