Three years ago, travel writer Lydia Gard discovered freediving. An extreme and beautiful sport defined by one objective: to dive as deep as you can on one single breath. It soon became a calling.

Leadership Books vs. Authority Books: How to Know Which You Need (and When) Donna DahlPurpose of the ShowThis show exists to inspire transformation in both life and business. Through candid conversations with authors, leaders, and change-makers, we uncover the wisdom and practical tools you need to thrive.IntroductionWhat separates a leader from an authority? And what happens when your book becomes the bridge between the two?Today's guest, Donna Dahl, has spent the last two decades empowering executives, entrepreneurs, and high-impact professionals to do exactly that — to write, speak, and lead from a place of clarity, confidence, and authentic authority.Her coaching doesn't begin with buzzwords or quick wins. It begins with a question: Are you ready to dream more, do more, and become more?Donna is known for transforming leaders into authors and authors into leaders. Through her signature “Dream, Dare, Do” framework, she helps clients translate experience into influence and wisdom into written form. Whether she's guiding a CEO through a manuscript or mentoring a new entrepreneur through their first leadership challenge, her approach is both strategic and deeply human — focused on building confidence, clarity, and the kind of courage that lasts.In this conversation, we explore the crucial difference between leadership books — written to inspire, develop, and serve others — and authority books, written to define your niche, elevate your expertise, and build a platform that extends far beyond the page.Credibility + BackgroundDonna Dahl is an award-winning Master Empowerment Coach, speaker, and author of Lessons I Learned from the Tortoise, a book that has inspired thousands of readers and leaders around the world.Based in Calgary, Donna has spent more than 20 years coaching executives and entrepreneurs to find their authentic voice, build brands that last, and create businesses — and books — with heart and impact. She has been recognized as a Global Women Leader, a Woman of Inspiration, and a Manuscript Coaching Award recipient by the International Association of Top Professionals.Her 7-week program, Empowering the Leader Within You, has become a game-changer for clients who want to lead with integrity, communicate with precision, and step boldly into their influence.As the Selection Committee Chair for the Women of Inspiration Awards and a frequent keynote speaker, Donna combines the insight of a master coach with the empathy of a mentor who has walked alongside hundreds of leaders in the making. Her clients — including CEOs, coaches, and creative professionals — often credit her with helping them reach record-breaking sales, unlock new levels of self-belief, and write the kind of books that build movements.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Donna helps us untangle one of the most important strategic questions in thought leadership: Do you need a leadership book, or an authority book?A leadership book guides others through growth. It's written for teams, for emerging leaders, for those who want to serve and inspire. It builds trust, teaches frameworks, and multiplies your influence through empathy and service.An authority book, on the other hand, defines your space. It's the book that says: This is my domain. This is my message. This is the body of work I stand behind. It elevates your expertise, sharpens your brand, and becomes a cornerstone of your professional legacy.Donna shares the subtle — and powerful — distinctions between the two, offering examples from her own coaching experience of how executives, coaches, and entrepreneurs have used both types of books to accelerate credibility and expand their reach.We'll talk about:* How to discern which kind of book your business or career needs right now* Why writing too soon — or too broadly — can dilute your message* How to transform leadership experience into authority presence* Why clarity of purpose is the single greatest predictor of publishing success* And how the very act of writing can become an accelerator for personal and professional growthDonna's wisdom reaches beyond writing strategy. It's about the interior journey of leadership — the courage to define your message, the humility to refine it, and the discipline to deliver it in a form that endures.Whether you're a seasoned executive looking to scale your influence or an entrepreneur seeking to crystallize your expertise, this conversation will help you understand *which book belongs to this season of your calling* — and how to write it with confidence, clarity, and conviction.Call to ActionIf you're ready to stop waiting and start leading — whether through your business, your book, or both — connect with Donna Dahl [DonnaDahl.com](https://tidycal.com/askdonnadahl/30-minute-meeting) Lessons I Learned from the Tortoise — available on Amazon Book a “Consult for Clarity” or explore Empowering the Leader Within You Invite Donna to speak or train your leadership teamBecause leadership doesn't just happen — it's built, refined, and embodied. And with the right book, your message can empower others to dream, dare, and perform at a higher level than ever before.Write the Book. Grow the Business. G.

The Trillion-Dollar Space Race: Musk (Hare) vs. Bezos (Tortoise). Richard Smith compares the space race between Elon Musk's SpaceX ("the hare") and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin ("the tortoise"). Blue Origin operates under the cautious motto Gradatim Ferociter, funded by Bezos's personal wealth, aiming to move heavy industry off Earth. SpaceX is driven by Musk's "existential" goal to make humanity interplanetary, operating with urgency. SpaceX ensures independence by funding its ambitious projects, including Starship, through the revenue generated by Starlink.

A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it. Susie and Sarah disagree about whether the coach did the right thing...Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!
