During the call, Dan and I discuss fame, publicity and working with the media.  One of the unique things about Dan is that he has worked “both sides of the street,” as a reporter and editor, and also as an author and publicist, so he has some real insight into the dynamics of building successful working relationships with people in the media.  You Can Be Famous:  Insider Secrets to Getting Free Publicity is also the title of Dan’s new book, which will be released later this year, though it’s available now through his website, http://youcanbefamousbook.com.

Our guest, Danek S. Kaus (pronounced DONek S.
