How it all started
2016
Testing the waters
While attending community college and working as Chinese food delivery drivers in New Jersey, twin brothers Christian and Rasmus realized getting a degree so they could eventually work an unsatisfying 9-5 job the rest of their lives did not sound like an attractive life plan.
2017
The start of a business
By the end of the summer, Rasmus and Christian were making enough money from their books to move out of their parents’ house, so they quit their jobs, dropped out of college, and booked one-way tickets to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Their biggest motivation for building a business online was so they could travel and experience all the most amazing places across the world.
2018
Launching on YouTube
Christian & Rasmus move to Hawaii and Christian starts turning his books into audiobooks and selling them on Audible. They quickly become his best-selling books and he makes over $10,000 per month. The Mikkelsen Twins YouTube channel is born. After posting a video every other day for 6 months talking all about book and audiobook publishing, they reach 1,000 subscribers.
2018
Audiobook Impact Academy
Audiobook Impact Academy 1.0 is launched in September and 96 students join on the first day. The twins end the year traveling to Mexico, UK, Italy, Greece, Egypt, and then finishing off in Bali where they stayed for the next 8 months.
2019
AIA 2.0
The majority of the year is spent just filming YouTube videos and creating Audiobook Impact Academy 2.0. They travel to Australia, Lombok, Komodo Island, Japan, Cuba, Croatia, Spain and Denmark.

Publishing.com is born as the twins hire their first 3 team members to help manage and coach their growing community of online publishers.

Rasmus and Christian both get married and Rasmus’ first son is born.
