Author Interview with Tim McCarthy

Tim McCarthy has a Master’s Degree in Education and a Grandmaster rank in the martial arts. He has combined his years of experience as a classroom teacher and administrator (in both public and private schools) with even more years of experience teaching and developing martial arts programs to create a simple plan for the education of children. He has spent years researching developmental child psychology, chosen the best studies, and distilled them into simple, understandable language. He then drew on his vast knowledge of activities that help children become stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and arranged them according to the capabilities of children at each age.His unique perspective combining Eastern and Western educational philosophy creates a powerful road map for raising balanced children in an increasingly unbalanced world.Timestamps00:15 Introduction<br />2:10 Can you tell us about your book?<br />5:00 What inspired you to write your book?<br />6:05 When writing, who were you thinking of who your book is for?<br />7:06 How long have you been writing?<br />8:20 What made you really start to write your book?<br />9:00 What was your schedule like when you were writing?<br />10:20 What do you need in your writing space to stay focused?<br />12:15 What type of books do you enjoy reading personally?<br />13:20 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />13:50 What type of books did you grow up reading and did you have a favorite book?<br />15:10 Now as an adult are there any favorite books or authors that you have read?<br />15:45 Any advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />16:35 Any advice for someone just starting to write their own book?<br />17:30 Is there anything people are generally surprised to found out about you?<br />17:56 Can you go over what a Grand Master is?<br />19:30 Any Additional comments?Connect with Tim McCarthy<br />Website<br />Instagram<br />Facebook<br />Linkedin<br />Youtube<br />Youtube<br />Twitter<br />TikTokSurvey Links<br />Mini Monday Episodes Feedback<br />Podcast Feedback<br />NewsletterFollow usRipollsworkshop Reads Website<br />Ripollsworkshop Reads Instagram<br />Our Host Courtney Ripoll-McBride<br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride
