Hey! Welcome back!

Today’s episode is a little different. I’m opening up about three things I’ve changed my mind on when it comes to writing, publishing, and building a business with a book. Spoiler: growth means allowing yourself to pivot ... even when you’ve been preaching something for years.

These are lessons I’ve learned from working in the author entrepreneur space since 2018, and from real life (like a scary few months with my mom that made me rethink a lot of things). So if you’ve been clinging to old rules about writing, AI, or what it takes to build authority ... this one’s for you.

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. Why I changed my mind about authors putting their face on the BOOK COVER (you gotta hear why!)
   
2. My totally changed mind on AI & ChatGPT and WHAT you should be using it for in your book process
   
3. Why I no longer believe a book is the ONLY way to build authority

This episode is all about giving yourself permission to evolve. I’m sharing what I’ve learned, where I’ve shifted, and why it’s okay to change your mind as you grow.

Today I’m joined by the dynamic Miranda Von Fricken, speaker, LinkedIn coach, and bestselling author of Own Your Awesome. If you’ve ever wondered whether your corporate experience, content, or even casual ideas could translate into a book (and a brand), this episode is for you.

Miranda shares how her first book wasn’t the one she originally planned, but it became the perfect launchpad for credibility, speakerships, and an engaged reader community. We also dive into the power of personal branding, writing what you already know, and the ripple effect of saying yes to yourself.

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. How Miranda turned her LinkedIn expertise into a bestselling book (and why it made her MORE MONEY on stages!)

2. A behind-the-scenes look at Miranda’s author journey, from imposter syndrome to owning her awesome

3. The power of starting with the easiest book (and letting go of the “perfect” one)

Hey there! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! Today we're talking about the impact of ChatGPT on authors and entrepreneurs.

I'll be honest, I was initially VERY hesitant about using ChatGPT and AI, but now my perspective has shifted a bit. Let's touch on the dual nature of AI as both a tool and a disruptor.

This episode breaks down three things you need to know about standing out with your book in our current AI landscape (aka how NOT to be "garbage guru").

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. How ChatGPT is going to produce a lot of "garbage gurus", but how YOU can rise above it

2. How to leverage the speed and clarity that AI can provide for your book journey

3. Why the messenger is more important than the message
