What if you could write a book in a weekend? Psychiatric nurse practitioner Andrew Hewitt did exactly that, creating four comprehensive business books in just 60 hours by using AI as an interview coach instead of a ghostwriter. In this game-changing episode, Andrew reveals his exact process for turning his expertise into published books without spending years writing or letting AI put words in his mouth.

Ashley and Andrew dive deep into the ethical way to use AI for content creation, the difference between having AI write for you versus having it guide you, and why this method works brilliantly for experts who are too busy to write but have knowledge worth sharing. Andrew also shares his incredible journey from homelessness to running three successful companies, his philosophy on betting on yourself, and how he helps other healthcare practitioners break free from corporate jobs to build their own practices. Plus, hear the inspiring story of how he refused to let a colleague give up on her dreams, leading to a thriving practice and a lasting friendship built on collaboration over competition.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform a story swimming in your head into a published cozy mystery novel? What if keeping a two-year writing secret from your family could lead to seeing your book on Barnes & Noble's website?

Join Ashley Grant as she chats with Robin Stephanie (aka Masshole Mommy) about her journey from blogger to published author of "The Deadly Garden," the first book in the Driftwood Cove mystery series. Robin reveals her meticulous outlining process, from creating detailed character profiles to building a "series bible" that keeps her fictional Massachusetts town consistent across books.

Discover how a podcast about Charles Manson's use of belladonna sparked an entire murder mystery plot, why Robin chose to write family-friendly cozy mysteries instead of gritty crime fiction, and the surprising upfront costs of self-publishing that most new authors don't expect.

Robin shares her promotional strategies, from local book signings to AI-generated social media images, plus why her Google search history ("how quickly can you die from belladonna poisoning?") would probably land her on an FBI watchlist. She also discusses her paranormal podcast "The Gen X Couple" and teases details about book two in her series.

Whether you're an aspiring mystery writer, cozy fiction fan, or curious about the self-publishing journey, this episode offers practical insights into turning creative ideas into published reality.
