SilentPunt Podcast #212 / April 23, 2026
Lee Bacon has published 10 books, landed a movie development deal, and built a writing career most people would have quit on long before it worked.
Before that? Rejections. A lot of them.
We talk about what it actually takes to stick with something when there’s no payoff, how becoming a father changes how you think about work and identity, and why the “non-linear path” might actually be the only real path.
