The Platinum Perspective

One guest. One topic. One book.
Every episode is a conversation with a guest who has lived the topic — at home, on the block, in business and at City Hall — and every episode becomes a volume of The Platinum Principles, a book read in an evening.

How every title reads

The Platinum Perspective presents The Platinum Principles, Vol. 16: Coming Home Safe — with [Guest Name]. The show is the umbrella and the books carry its name on the cover. The series name builds one brand, the number says there is more, the subtitle is the promise of that book, and the guest's name tells the reader whose voice they are hearing.

Every subtitle names what the reader walks away with. Every book stands on its own, so a reader can start with whichever one speaks to them today.

⭐ The Platinum Perspective and The Platinum Principles belong to Platinum Ink. Guests come and go; the show and the principles stay. A guest can hold one episode and volume, or several.
