Ben Gioia helps entrepreneurs write high-quality, client-attracting books in just five weeks using his “Influence with a Heart” method. He shows busy professionals how to stay productive without burnout, even with just 20 minutes a day. He recently completed his fifth book and launched the “Five Week Draft” course to guide others through rapid, effective writing. Ben highlights why experts often struggle to finish their books: imposter syndrome, outdated publishing beliefs, and emotional resistance. He focuses on writing with a clear goal—to attract clients and create opportunities. He demonstrates this with a story of how a book cover alone secured a Fortune 100 consulting project. His approach blends empathy, purpose, and consistency, helping authors connect with readers and turn their books into a driver of business growth. Quotes: “You don't have to wait until your book is finished to start getting clients and partners.” “There are virtually no barriers to publishing a book today. The only barrier is ourselves.” "If you talk to your ideal clients while writing, your book will not fail."

In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni dive into one of the biggest decisions every professional speaker faces — whether or not to write a book. With reading habits changing and attention spans shrinking, is publishing still worth it? Maria shares what she learned from writing The Bookability Formula, including how a book clarifies your thinking, protects your IP, and raises your authority. James discusses his upcoming SuperCreativity book, why he waited five years before writing it, and how books can elevate your speaking brand. Together they explore the pros and cons of traditional vs. self-publishing, how to use your book as a marketing tool, and creative ways to launch and promote it. Whether you're a new or established speaker, you'll discover why books still matter — and how to make yours work for your business, your brand, and your audience. Key Takeaways Books clarify thinking – Writing forces structure and helps you refine your core message. Authority comes from authorship – The word "authority" literally begins with "author." Timing matters – Don't write too early; live your content first. Books as business cards – A book opens doors and elevates positioning, even if it doesn't make big money. Hybrid publishing is a smart middle path – Keeps quality control without losing autonomy. Tie your launch to an event – Use an existing audience for maximum visibility. Give books freely – Strategic giveaways amplify goodwill and social proof. You must market it – Promotion, interviews, and podcasts are on you, not your publisher. AI audiobooks are here – Tools like Eleven Labs can narrate your book in multiple languages. Memorable Quotes "Writing a book unravels your thinking — it turns spaghetti into structure." – Maria Franzoni "A book is the summation of years of ideas, handed to you for £20. That's incredible value." – James Taylor "Authority comes from author. A book changes how clients perceive you." – Maria Franzoni "You don't need a book to be a successful speaker — but it can unlock a higher level of opportunity." – James Taylor "Attach your book launch to an event that already has your perfect audience." – Chris Gardner (via Maria Franzoni) Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome & why reading is declining 01:16 – Why Maria wrote The Bookability Formula 02:15 – Books as clarity tools and IP protection 04:01 – James on the value of books for idea transfer and legacy 05:47 – Speaking first, writing later – when to start your book 07:09 – Avoid writing too early; live your material first 08:23 – How writing affects your speaking income short-term 09:38 – Books as brochures and positioning tools 10:59 – How bureaus view speakers with books 13:44 – Branding your book and keynote under one concept 15:01 – Why bureaus love books but don't profit from them 16:54 – Micro-books and multi-series publishing 17:46 – Traditional vs hybrid vs self-publishing 18:12 – Finding a publisher who respects your voice 19:36 – Owning foreign rights and global expansion 21:27 – The marketing reality: sales depend on you 22:08 – David Allen's 25-year book promotion discipline 23:08 – Maria's tip: attach your book launch to an event 25:02 – Free books as social-media gold 25:50 – James' tool: Eleven Labs for AI audiobooks and voiceovers 26:58 – Closing thoughts and listener questions

When I work with a client, I root for them forever. I love to see them soar, and I am moved by these movements and messages they put out into the world. Having Sarah here to share this enormous success story gives me all the feels.

Michael R. Drew teaches us how to write books that build credibility, serve your audience, and generate lasting business impact, far beyond bestseller lists. He has spent his career turning ideas into bestsellers. With more than 100 books launched onto national lists and over 1,000 No. 1 titles on Amazon, he's one of the most accomplished book marketers in the industry. Having worked with publishers such as Bard Press, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Thomas Nelson, Michael has mastered the art and strategy of getting books noticed. Today, he helps authors write with purpose, build powerful platforms, and turn their message into lasting influence. Michael has helped launch over 130 books onto major bestseller lists. But his true genius lies in showing authors how to use a book as a business tool, not just a trophy. He breaks down the real meaning of success, how to define your book's purpose, and why the best authors start with outcomes, not words. Key points discussed include: Define your “why”: Start with the outcome you want your book to achieve, then design everything around that. The bestseller myth: Lists don't define success, impact and leverage do. Build before you publish: Create the infrastructure and audience your book will serve. Measure what matters: Identify metrics that reflect transformation, not just sales. Distribution wisdom: When and how to pursue hybrid, traditional, or self-publishing. PR is your job: No one will care more about your book's success than you do. Start before you're ready: Don't wait for perfect writing, get help editing later. Share your story: You have an obligation to use your experiences to help others. Connect with Michael R. Drew Website | Instagram
We all love the idea of writing a book, don't we? That dream of holding your words in your hands, of sharing your story with the world, of finally saying “I did it.” But the truth is — writing a book is not all coffee shop moments and creative bursts. It's a journey filled with resistance, discipline, emotion, and deep personal reflection. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't putting words on the page… it's what you have to let go of to get there. In this solo episode, I'm getting real about my own writing journey — the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly. I've been working on my first solo book for over a year and a half, and today, I'm pulling back the curtain on what this process has really looked like. If you've ever dreamed of writing a book (or finishing any big project), this conversation is for you. Tune in as I share with you: Why writing a book will test your patience — and your priorities The surprising truth about what's really holding you back (hint: it's not time) The fear of “laying things down” and how it keeps us stuck How having a writing buddy changed everything for me My public promise to finally finish and publish my book in 2026

Have you ever wondered what Anne Frank and St. Therese of Lisieux have in common? Although they are very different women from very different backgrounds, both changed the world through writing, both died way before their time, but they both continue to bless, inspire and transform the lives of millions of people...all because they wrote down their life experiences. YOU can do that too! You have a story that has the power to transform lives. In this episode, I share how these two great souls illustrate the power of writing your story. St. Therese of Lisieux, whose book, Story of a Soul, transformed her from an unknown nun to a powerful saint who continues to bless millions. And how the late Anne Frank brought the whole world into hers in the little attic in Amsterdam and made us all feel that we had lost a dear friend in the war. Do you feel like you have a story to tell? I'd love to hear about it. PS – Join me for the FREE “YOU Can Write a Life-Changing Book” Masterclass – sign up here Key Learnings: Books are miraculous! By sharing your story through writing, you magnify your impact way beyond what you could personally do. Two of the best examples of this are St. Therese of Lisieux and Anne Frank. St. Therese wanted so much to be a saint, but felt she could never truly do anything ‘big' or significant, so she focused instead on her ‘little way' which was about doing small things with great love. This way was not so little after all, as it inspired Mother Teresa in her great work many decades later! And Anne Frank was shut off from the outside world in the harshest of circumstances, yet she wrote about her experience and brought all of us into her world. To this day, millions of people are touched by her book. Mother Mary has said that the most healing thing you can do is share your story. Writing your story, whether it's your personal story, spiritual memoir, a non-fiction hot-to book or work of fiction…whatever wants to come through you has the power to transform the world. The episode about Anne Frank is Ep 207- Anne Frank's Miracle & Message for Aspiring Writers “The most healing thing you can do is to share your story.” Mother Mary Click here to register for the FREE Masterclass – YOU Can Write a Life-Changing Book!

I just can't wait until my life and mission statement is perfect before I show up online with a lesson neatly tied with a bow. First, that just prevents me from posting anything. Second, I'm hearing a lot lately that people aren't looking for gurus anymore. They don't want perfection. They can't relate to that. They want to watch the messy middle, and when I heard that (again), the realization hit. I write memoirs about how I got through something and what I learned along the way. I read memoirs so that I can see how they got through something. I want to be inspired by watching (reading) them pull themselves out of the mire and accomplish something difficult, because I want to do that too. "We just want to see real women figuring it out." (Tatyana Gosh) So, I'm going to start really showing up online with the messiness of humanity, and without the lessons already learned. My goal is everyday on IG. A reel, post, or story. Preferably multiples. • I met with colleague yesterday, another coach, and she said something that I immediately wrote down: If I show up imperfect, that doesn't mean bad. I've been so focused on trying to rewrite my limiting belief around perfection = professional, that I didn't take it a step further. Why do I think that if I'm imperfect, I'm bad? Side note: "Who doesn't like a badass woman?" (Tatyana Gosh) (Erick): What are you reading?

Your book is a bridge, not a billboard.” Ways your book can grow your business authentically Builds credibility + trust with aligned clients Deepens your brand story and your core message Expands your reach without burnout (your book travels when you can't) “You're not marketing. You're storytelling. And that's magnetic.” Let your business offer inform your book—not dictate it Use client patterns and questions to uncover themes Let your unique framework or transformation process shape the content (not just regurgitate) Bonus: You may create your next offer through writing the book Writing How-To Books (Three Story Method series) Avoiding the trap of performance Write with your audience in mind, not for their approval Let go of “shoulds” and write from soul-led service • Examples of what alignment looks like in practice Including rituals, reflections, or creative practices in your book Speaking directly to your dream client as if you're in sacred conversation Closing encouragement: You don't have to choose between success and soul. Your book can hold both. The more you write from your essence, the more magnetic your business becomes “When you write to be liked, you dilute your magic.” Project Runway fails are usually because they didn't stay "true to themselves as a designer" and it show.

Dubbed the Meme Queen of Depression by Mashable, Aiden Arata's real goal on Instagram was to build a big enough following to convince traditional publishers to let her write a book. Thus her new collection of essays, You Have a New Memory, in which Arata reveals the chillingly empty realities about her millennial "Doom" generation's relationship with social media. There really isn't much of an influencer economy, Arata confesses, acknowledging that most social media "stars" are, in fact, grifters. So the only way to monetize one's influencer status is by writing a traditional book which, Arata argues, also offers a refuge from what she calls the "flattened" language of digital media. 1. Arata Became an Influencer to Enable Her Real Dream"I think that I created an internet following to trick people into letting me write a book. I've always wanted to write a book... I've always been a writer."Arata reveals her Instagram success was strategic - a means to literary credibility rather than an end goal.2. Social Media Has "AI'd" Us Before AI Arrived"I think it's interesting because just sort of the way that algorithms train us to use certain language... we kind of have AI'd ourselves by mimicking certain phrases and just flattening... the field of interpretation for words."She argues we've already been conditioned to communicate like machines, making actual AI less of a leap.3. Digital Content Creates an Existential Crisis"I call it plastic bag theory. And it's this idea that... the internet is like a plastic bag, it's disposable, but it's also forever. It's sort of on its trash island swirling out there somewhere. And then when we use the internet, we kind of become that as well."Her metaphor captures how online content - and creators - exist in a liminal state between temporary and permanent.4. The "Doom Generation" Faces Unprecedented Awareness"We've never been so aware of all of the atrocities that happen around us and to us. And we've sort of also never been so aware of our own powerlessness to affect change."She explains why her generation feels particularly anxious about the future.5. Books Offer Refuge from Digital Language Flattening"A book is a really beautiful response to that. It's reclaiming language as something that can go on these sort of philosophical eddies and can have a metaphor that's a little bit complicated... that is like just perfect in its weird slanty little way."Despite her digital success, she sees traditional publishing as essential for preserving nuanced human expression.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Ever wonder if you're actually called to write? You're not alone. Maybe you've said, “God called me to this”—but your book isn't published, your platform is stalled, and doubt is creeping in. What if our view of calling is part of the problem? In this two-part episode, I talk with Andy Patton from The Rabbit Room about the question every writer asks: How do I know if I'm truly called to write? In Part 1, Andy introduces a fresh way to think about calling—starting with a key distinction between cosmic and local callings—and shares the first of five questions to help you discern your next step.

Trying to decide between launching a podcast or writing a book? Here's how to choose the right path for maximum impact. Someone recently booked a free podcast coaching call with me, and this is exactly the question she was trying to figure out: should she write a book or start a podcast first? She had big ideas to share, but limited time and energy. Should she invest it in launching a podcast or finally writing that book she'd been thinking about? It's a fair question. And like so many things in business, the answer is: it depends. In this episode, I walk you through what you need to consider before making your decision and reveal the advice I gave her. And no, it wasn't a self-serving 'podcast, of course!' Here are a few of the key things you need to explore before deciding on the right choice for you: Where you are in clarifying your message Whether or not you already have an audience What you want this content to do for your business and brand If you've got any external deadlines (like a publisher) And, of course, your actual capacity (because both DO take time and energy) This advice isn't off the cuff. I've worked with clients who started with a book and then launched a podcast to support it. Others who started a podcast first and then realized they've got a book's worth of content sitting in their episodes. And some do both (strategically), so they're aligned and reinforcing each other. The key is to zoom out, get clear on your goals, and choose the path (or combo) that makes the most sense for where you are now and where you want to go. If you're wondering whether podcasting should be part of your content strategy, or you want help mapping out how it fits with your book plans, I've got your back.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Why do 90% of personal trainers fail within their first year? This eye-opening conversation with David, a successful trainer from Wichita, Kansas, exposes the critical gaps in traditional fitness education that leave new trainers unprepared for real-world success.David shares his journey from YMCA trainer to business owner, revealing how the repetitions he gained working with diverse clients proved far more valuable than any certification. "I've never met a trainer who contributes their success to their baseline certification," he notes, highlighting the disconnect between industry education and actual career requirements.The discussion explores how the personal training industry's low barrier to entry damages its professional reputation. Unlike physical therapists who undergo rigorous clinical training, trainers can start working after a weekend certification course. This minimal requirement leads many to view training as a side hustle rather than a serious profession.Both professionals advocate for a complete overhaul of trainer education to include supervised experience, business skills training, and communication coaching. They discuss how successful trainers must master multiple roles – from social media manager to community outreach organizer – while developing their technical knowledge.The conversation takes an interesting turn when they explore book publishing as a pathway to establishing authority in the fitness industry. David shares his plans to write a book for struggling trainers, while receiving practical advice on self-publishing, editing, and marketing strategies that can transform a trainer's career trajectory.Whether you're a new trainer struggling to build your business or an experienced professional looking to level up, this episode delivers actionable insights on differentiating yourself in a crowded marketplace.

This is THE powerful, authority-building move you need to make. With the rise of AI, the world of self-publishing is rapidly changing and growing. It's also a process that's distinctly different in many ways from going the traditional publishing route. If you have a story in you and you want to stay in the driver's seat of your writing process, self-publishing is for you. Before you get started, remember that writing a book isn't just about making money. It's actually more beneficial to leverage the authority you build in your book to generate more income. But perhaps even greater than that, the process of writing a book will take you on an incredible self-improvement journey. In this episode, you will learn about: What self-publishing is and how it differs from going the traditional route. How to keep control of your writing process while you're creating your book. Why writing a book is an instant credibility builder, and how to leverage that. What the hardest part of bringing your own book to life is. What writing the book forces you to do and how it helps you build your skills. Why you don't need to be an expert writer to write a book yourself. The reason self-publishing is the best option, no matter how big or small the book. Mentions: www.selfpublishing.com/renee Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Some of the best business advice doesn't come from a webinar or a pitch. It comes from a story only you can tell.I had the most energizing chat with Danielle Hutchinson, Chief Creative Officer at Authors on Mission and a storyteller at heart. Danielle helps entrepreneurs turn their message into books that sound like them—not a ghostwriter. She shares how honesty and vulnerability build stronger connections, and how even the messier parts of your story can become your most powerful tools. Her journey as a creative nomad adds a whole layer of inspiration to how she approaches writing and life.If you've ever thought about writing a book but didn't know where to start—or worried your story wasn't “big” enough—this conversation will give you permission to begin and the encouragement to keep going. It's cozy, real, and packed with insights that just might get you putting words to page.Highlights:The value of sharing both wins and lessons in your business storytelling.Why great ghostwriting starts with a real connection, not a generic outline.The mindset shift needed to stop overthinking and start writing.Easy ways to start collecting your thoughts and experiences for a future book.What AI can and can't do when it comes to writing something real and human.Connect with Danielle:Website: https://authorsonmission.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-hutchinson-159798259 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@authorsonmission/videosPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/authors-on-mission/id1585639049 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/welikebooksinc/ In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Amina's forthcoming book, The Ambition Trap, is now out in the world, but it took three long years of writing and a lifetime of lessons for this book to come to be. Amina sold the book to Penguin Random House's imprint Open Field from Maria Shriver in September of 2022. Along the way, Amina had support from loving friends, peers, and colleagues, and we're getting a chance for them to interview her on what it was like building this invaluable resource in this six part series. This episode's special guest is Stacey Lindsay, a broadcast and print journalist and writer who has extensively covered women's issues, gender equity, work, civics, health, and culture. With experience as an editorial director and consulting senior editor for digital publications, including Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, Stacey has interviewed numerous public figures, from governors to scientists to actors, such as Lisa Ling, Phil Stutts, Savannah Guthrie, Nedra Tawab, Reese Witherspoon, Debbie Gibson, Sharon Raganoff, and Jay Shetty.
