Please join me on Thursday  at 4:00 pm CST for an encore presentation of our debut show with guest Erik Wesner. It has been one of our top rated shows! For good reason–Erik is a fascinating, insightful, and downright funny guy.

Erik is the author of the popular blog “Amish America.” During the interview we chat about Erik’s book, Success Made Simple, and about Amish businesses.

A bit about Erik:  Since 2004, he has visited 20 Amish communities in five states, and met roughly 5,000 Amish families in total.

As the 2008 Snowden Fellow at the Young Center at Elizabethtown College, Erik delivered a lecture entitled “Is Success a Four-Letter Word? The Amish Approach to Business Achievement”.

Erik has contributed to Amish-themed articles featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and other print media. He’s have also served as a consultant for numerous authors of Amish fiction and non-fiction.

His book Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive was published by John Wiley and Sons under the Jossey-Bass imprint in 2010.

Success Made Simple is based on his 60 interviews with Amish business owners as well as experiences living and working in Amish communities from Pennsylvania to Iowa. Read more here.

In his previous nine-year career with a Nashville publisher and bookseller, he worked in management and set an international record as a salesperson.

If not in Amish America, you can likely find Erik in Krakow, Poland, where he teaches, translates, and trains for marathons.
