The Michael Jordan of Ghostwriting on the One Thing Nobody Ever Told His Clients: A conversation with author and screenwriter Michael Levin

You hit the milestone everyone wanted, and the voice in your head only got louder. Now you have to be even better, and some quiet part of you is terrified you won’t be. Michael Levin has been called the Michael Jordan of ghostwriting: more than a thousand books, New York Times bestsellers, a screen credit for Disney, and a client list of billionaires, CEOs, and world-changers he mostly can’t name. He’s also a marathoner and triathlete, still racing at 68. And after decades sitting across from the most successful people alive, he’s noticed something they almost never say out loud, no one ever told them they were enough. If you’ve spent your career proving you’re enough, this is the conversation that finally lets you off the hook.
