Dean Grey, The Future of Publishing

When we picture professional writers in our minds, we often think of individuals holed up in a room alone and plugging away on some old fashioned typewriter. However, this concept is simply outdated and more often than not, writers are working in coffee shops, large-scale corporations, or on the go as they travel for business. The technological and digital revolution has completely changed the world of publication and freelance work because it has allowed anyone to become a professional writer overnight. There are a number of websites devoted to helping writers disseminate information such as WordPress, Medium, Tumblr, and BlogSpot. These sites are serving a new generation of entrepreneurial writers.

Take Dean Grey on Medium (and various other blogging platforms), for example. As an accomplished entrepreneur, he recognizes the power of online writing and uses it daily in his career of helping other professionals. Not only has he established a presence on multiple blogging platforms, his entrepreneurial background helped him establish his own publishing company. This is the future of writing. It is a highly entrepreneurial endeavor with fewer and fewer individuals seeking out publishing houses in favor of making it on their own. Everyone is familiar with stories of success where individuals (often stay at home parents or even teenagers) create a blog for their own personal interest, generate a massive following, and eventually monetize their writing and start pursuing it as a career.

Sharing Success

Dean Grey began his professional career at a very early age. He quickly rose to prominence in the direct sales world due to his ambition and personal skills. In direct sales, it is absolutely crucial that you have the skills and personality necessary to make connections with other people. You need to sell more than just your product or company’s professional philosophies; you need to be able to sell yourself. Dean Grey’s charisma gave him the advantage he needed to start making professional networks early in his career that have served him throughout his life. This ability is something that sets Dean Grey apart from others in his field. He quickly realized that this unique quality was something that he could capitalize on by sharing his experiences with others, helping them to find their own strengths and resources in life.

After leaving the direct sales world, Dean Grey founded KMI, later rebranded to Freestyle. KMI was a successful life coaching business that taught young entrepreneurs the vital skills needed to succeed that were not taught in a classroom. Entrepreneurship is about much more than having a great idea for a product or business. It takes a unique combination of personal and professional skills that are not covered in normal education. Over twenty-three years, KMI inspired more than two million athletes, actors, singers, and other entrepreneurs to reach their goals and equipped them with the best tools to do so.

For Dean Grey, gamified social learning was the next step in the evolution of the sales and marketing industry. Gamification is the use of game elements such as point scoring, competition, and awards outside of actual gaming. Social learning is the concept that people learn the best when they are engaged in social environments surround a topic. Dean Grey is currently using both of these concepts with his company Skylab Apps, developing mobile apps for entrepreneurs and companies hoping to build networks of customers.
