This Author of 16 Romance Novels is Business Savvy and Shares Her Actionable Insights

When it comes to late-career transitions, Gigi Meier’s reinvention is nothing short of remarkable. After three decades in banking — reaching the boardroom level of a multi-billion-dollar Texas institution — Gigi has reinvented herself as a successful romance writer.

She has self-published 16 books, some quite steamy, across three ongoing series. 

The cover of her books — not for every taste — typically feature a shirtless, ripped stud and a one-word title: Paolo, or Hamilton, or Giovanni.

One of Gigi’s best-selling books is her first, Tomlin, the tale of a small-town romance between a foul-mouth car restorer and a determined Judo Olympian who refuses to take no for an answer.

While you might expect Gigi to draw on her extensive banking experience to fuel her publishing success, as she explains on this week’s episode, she’s discovered valuable insights as a romance publisher that would have been useful during her banking career — and they offer actionable lessons for any business or entrepreneurial venture.

Whether or not you’re a fan of romance novels, you’ll want to cozy up to this week’s podcast for some sexy business ideas.

Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
