Wim Hof’s son Enahm Hof has complete control of the $16.8 million Hof Empire, including the rights to his father’s name, and control of all social media feeds. Instructors have been sounding the alarm for years that they aren’t paid fairly, have to tithe 10% of their earnings, and feel exploited by the profit-driven enterprise that appears to be acting against Wim’s own values. This is an update to my previous three releases of this video after a consultation with Enahm Hof. It includes updates on the current situation as of March 2023 and what I believe is some hopeful news at the end.

If you want to take your stories to the next level then, you'll probably want to find agents to represent you to book publishers and film studios.
Commissions:
Literary agents typically charge a 15% commission to represent you, which means they are going to get a percentage of all of the work that you produce. This is a good thing because they have incentive to get you the most money possible for your work.
Film agents typically charge a 10% commission.
Speaking agencies (which get you speaking gigs) charge between 25% and 33%.
Never take on agent who asks for up-front money from you. Those are all scams.
Finding an Agent:
The front door rarely works so don't send your inquiry into the slush pile.
Network through established writers and see if they will make an introduction for you. (But don't ask me!)
Interview as many agents as possible to get a feel for who will be the best fit.
If you are trying to choose between multiple agents, my rule of thumb is to hire the agent who is the most enthusiastic about your work and think you can work well with. Their overall reputation is not the most important factor.
Book Auctions:
A book proposal is the pitch letter for your book. It needs to be an amazing sales document. They tend to be between 20-100 pages long.
Your agent will send your proposal out to the market, usually to about 20 publishers at once, and try to gin up excitement among them.
If you're lucky, multiple publishers will bid on your project and drive the price up.
REMEMBER: In an auction you have the ability to reserve certain publishing rights for yourself. Sell the publisher as few rights as possible. Try to retain world rights. Hold on to TV/film rights. Fight to the death to retain your audiobook rights.

The real history of Occam's Razor dates back to an argument between a Franciscan friar named William of Occam and Thomas Aquinas who wanted to understand what happened in the moment of holy communion when a catholic priest transformed a cracker into the body of Christ. Though Occam believed his solution to the problem was the simplest, anyone looking back at the debate from a modern perspective will instantly understand that the entire idea of Occam's Razor (the the simplest explanation is usually the correct one) is just straight up wrong.

From Sherlock Holmes to Batman, anyone seeking superpowers has traditionally looked to the Himalayas for secret spiritual knowledge. But are they really there?
