Drawing on 65+ years in publishing and work on over 600 nonfiction books, they explain why subject matter experts are an underused source of powerful prescriptive (advice-based) nonfiction, and why publishers care as much about an author’s platform as the quality of the manuscript. They emphasize that experts don’t need to be “writers” if they follow a clear process, and share how they themselves used the same 25-activity framework they teach to plan and write their own book.

Central to their philosophy is the idea that in nonfiction the reader—not the author—is the main character. Everything from topic choice to structure and anecdotes should serve the reader’s needs and problems. Before writing a single word, they advise experts to: understand their target reader and market, define the specific problem their book solves, develop a solid outline, and start building an author platform—framed as “community” to make it less daunting, especially for introverts. They also reframe the book as a business tool and calling card that drives speaking, consulting, and impact, rather than the primary source of revenue, and leave listeners with one actionable mindset shift: stop writing “about something” and start writing for someone.

Feliks shares how three and a half decades and 1,500+ BI projects led to his six-step DECIDE framework (Discover, Engage, Clarify, Illustrate, Develop, Embed), why he focuses on mid-sized companies, and how working directly with entrepreneurs drives faster, more meaningful impact. He explains why most organizations skip straight to “Develop,” creating “perfect chaos” instead of clarity and profit.

Feliks discusses how he distilled decades of experience into a focused, practical book while running a busy consultancy, why the hardest part was deciding what to leave out, and how his 64-year-old mother getting her driver’s license inspired him to finally write.

Drawing on three decades working with senior leaders across Australia and internationally, Kylie explains why she focuses on “leaders of leaders” and how often mid-to-senior level leaders are underdeveloped and left to “just know” what to do. She unpacks her core Know–Show–Grow framework, revealing that even experienced leaders frequently don’t know their people as deeply as they think they do—beyond surface-level details to what truly motivates them, worries them, and helps them thrive. Kylie also explores the risks of stepping in and micromanaging instead of intentionally growing each leader based on their confidence and capability.

Kylie shares the vulnerable bathroom-floor moment that opens her book and why she chose to lead with such a personal story: to prove she understands the pressures of senior leadership and to model the kind of real, relational connection she advocates. She talks candidly about her writing journey—from trying to cram “20 leadership books into one” to narrowing in on the critical role of one-on-one relationships—and how the process sharpened and expanded her thinking, including evolving her “show you care” ideas to include presence alongside kind love and firm love. Kylie explains why she chose a book as a scalable, permanent resource and how she now uses it as both a companion to her coaching, workshops, and keynotes and a door-opener into new industries. For listeners sitting on a book idea or framework of their own, she offers a clear challenge: stop waiting for the perfect moment and just start, because writing will deepen your framework, strengthen your voice, and grow your impact.

Alex shares how years of notes, client work, and reflection on operational chaos in mining became the raw material for his book. When he stepped into the Managing Director role, he used writing as a way to clarify who the firm serves, what problems they solve, and how they create value—essentially turning the book into a strategic thinking tool for himself and a translation layer between site leaders and executive decision-makers.
Alex explains that much of the first draft came together in about two weeks because he’d already been mentally working on the ideas for a long time. The real work was in iterating: shaping the manuscript around a proven nonfiction structure (problem → big idea → how-to), refining and renaming his consulting frameworks so they were simple and communicable on the page, and testing concepts through beta readers and a keynote talk. The result is a book that not only captures hard-won industry knowledge at a time of brain drain in mining, but also serves as a practical, educational asset for his business and a way to scale his expertise to a broader audience.

Drawing on years spent working directly with growers across Australia, Georgia wrote the book for sales reps, sales leaders, and national sales managers who spend their days driving up farm driveways and into rural retail stores. She explores what makes ag sales different from other industries—the emotional weight of living where you work, volatile profit cycles, and the often-unspoken grief when seasons of effort are wiped out by weather or markets—and shows readers how to have conversations that truly land, handle objections with confidence, and close sales without sacrificing trust.

Built around her “Selling in the Paddock” blueprint, the book deliberately starts with “know yourself” rather than product knowledge or tactics. Georgia explains that most ag sales professionals are technically strong but underdeveloped in self-awareness, communication, and emotional intelligence—the “power skills” that drive real-world results. Selling in the Paddock helps readers understand their own style, recognize what drives their customers, and adapt to build stronger relationships and better outcomes in the field. Georgia also shares how she collaborated with AI tools to structure her ideas in a way that worked with her dyslexia and neurodivergent thinking while keeping every story and insight authentically hers, resulting in a practical, people-first guide for anyone looking to sell more confidently and compassionately in agriculture.

GUEST BIO Georgia Stormont is an agricultural sales coach, speaker and podcast host dedicated to helping people sell with confidence in the ag industry. After spending more than 15 years working as a sales representative in horticulture, driving farm tracks and sitting at kitchen tables with growers, Georgia saw first-hand how different selling in agriculture is from most other industries.

Today she works with agribusiness companies across Australia to help sales teams communicate better, build stronger relationships with growers and ultimately sell more effectively. Through coaching, workshops and facilitation, Georgia focuses on practical tools that work in the real world of agriculture — where trust, reputation and long-term relationships matter.

She is the host of the podcast Selling in the Paddock, where she speaks with farmers, sales reps and industry leaders about the conversations that drive agriculture forward. Georgia is also the author of the upcoming book Selling in the Paddock, a people-first framework for selling in agriculture.

Based in Melbourne, Georgia continues to work closely with growers and ag businesses and remains passionate about supporting the next generation of agricultural sales professionals.

Drawing from more than two decades in high-pressure, globally distributed corporate roles, Wendy shares how her book Between Flights took flight—quite literally—on airplanes, in the liminal space between meetings, cities, and family time.

Wendy and Scott explore why so many leaders carry the “unspoken” parts of leadership alone, why reflection is not a luxury but a vital leadership practice, and how small, intentional pauses can help leaders stay grounded and aligned with their values. Wendy also describes her journey from writing purely for herself on her phone’s notes app to sharing her reflections on LinkedIn and ultimately publishing them as a book.

Whether you’re an executive, an emerging leader, or an entrepreneur aspiring to authorship, this conversation offers a calm, honest look at what it really takes to lead with heart in high-intensity environments—and how writing can help you process, make sense of, and ultimately share those experiences with others.

GUEST BIO
Wendy Walker is a marketing leader, creative advocate, and thoughtful voice on what it really takes to lead with heart. For more than two decades, she has shaped brands and cultures across industries and continents, guiding teams through growth, transformation, and creative reinvention.
She believes leadership is not about titles or power, but about the impact we have on others — and the energy we leave behind long after we’ve moved on.
Wendy’s career has spanned senior marketing roles at global, regional, and startup levels, always anchored in the conviction that creativity and clarity can drive both impact and integrity. Beyond the corporate world, she has played a significant role in shaping the industry as Founder and President of the International Advertising Association (IAA) Singapore chapter, Global Board Member of the IAA, and former Chair of The Marketing Society in Singapore, where she was awarded the title of Fellow. In 2025, she served as Global Jury President for the Creative B2B category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, leading discussions that celebrated bold, transformative work on the global stage.

In Reframe, she offers a functional definition of a generalist built around ranging curiosity, creative connections, and context, giving generalists the language and framework they’ve lacked so they can better understand their strengths, articulate their value, and intentionally design careers that fit them.

She also reflects on the writing journey behind the book, noting that long-form writing is a very different discipline from day-to-day writing. The process forced her to clarify her thinking, decide what truly served the reader, and turn years of experience into a focused, practical guide. With the help of structure, a clear curriculum, and a supportive writing community, she completed a book that argues generalists are increasingly vital in a changing world—able to experiment, test, and take risks in ways specialists often can’t.

Rather than writing alone, Hanna and Verena teamed up as a patient advocate and physician, then extended the project by inviting additional contributors to holistically represent all five stakeholder groups in healthcare (patients, providers, pharma, payers, and policymakers.

The conversation highlights the unique benefits and challenges of co-authoring a book with many contributors. Hanna and Verena share how collaboration made the writing process less isolating, provided deeper insights, and ensured the final product resonated with a wider audience.

Hanna:
Having lived almost her entire life with type 1 diabetes, Hanna has grown up with “the patient” as part of her persona. This has helped guide her life’s mission—to help others live a better and healthier life (with or without a chronic condition in tow), which she has realized through various degrees, certifications, projects, and positions as an expert patient voice.

Verena:
As a trained internist and oncologist, Dr Voelter has always seen her role at the
side of the patient. Since the publication of her first book, TangoForFive, she has participated in numerous conversations with interested readers and members of the 5P ecosystem on how to make this vision of cooperation a reality. Patients, fellow doctors, policymakers, and health insurers, as well as leaders from the pharmaceutical industry and life sciences, have supported her in breaking down silos and championing a TangoForFive as the holy grail to fix our ailing health systems.

Spencer, president of the Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church and author of The Secrets of Success: How to Build a Great Career and Live a Happy Life.

Frank shares how his career—from real estate and nonprofit leadership to ordained ministry—inspired the stories and insights in his book. Drawing on years of sermon writing and mentoring, he found the process of translating life lessons into book form both natural and fulfilling, completing the manuscript in just a few months.

Frank also explains how he built the book around key themes like commitment, compassion, and curiosity, along with his "Three P’s" framework: product, profit, and process. Writing honestly about professional failures and personal milestones made the work deeply meaningful.

Ronsley explains how AI tools can support the creative process by organizing content, managing projects, and refining messaging, without replacing the author’s voice. He emphasizes using AI as a collaborator to clarify ideas and streamline tasks, reducing time on complex projects. However, he warns against superficial AI outputs, stressing that meaningful books require thoughtful refinement and focused content.

Ronsley also addresses the ethics of AI in writing, encouraging authors to use it as a tool to enhance intelligence, not as a shortcut. By prioritizing authenticity through personal voice and solid references, he ensures credibility in his work. He contrasts well-crafted books with rushed AI-generated content, which can harm an author’s reputation. Ultimately, Ronsley highlights the balance between human creativity and AI efficiency to produce impactful, purpose-driven books that connect with readers.

GUEST BIO 

Tom has always been driven by his ability to simplify complex problems for others. While studying engineering, Tom started a faculty mentorship program. At McKinsey & Company, Tom simplified strategic problems for some of the world’s most prestigious companies - while also being global training faculty and co-leading an internal consulting best practice initiative. 
Looking to drive more impact, Tom joined an early stage start up.

The company won Global Best Disaster Recovery in 2014, and the 2015 Prince of Wales Award for Business in the Community.
Tom then co-founded Carter, a startup simplifying the complex new car buying journey. Their dealerships quickly became the award-winning number 1 performers in the country. And then Co-Flo, a legal technology solution to simplify legal operations – serving some of the biggest firms in Europe and Africa and now entering the US.
On the side, Tom has been a non-executive director, independent advisor, skydiver and yoga teacher.
With his love for joining the dots between strategy, strategy execution and senior management development – Tom started The Management Distillery in early 2024. A consulting firm with a mission to simplify strategy execution for high-potential, medium-sized businesses.

Since every good book begins with an idea, Kath also provides tips on developing an idea by sharing her approach to guiding authors from idea to manuscript.

GUEST BIO
As a professional business writer, Kath Walters has written something like 1.3 million words over the past 25 years. As a business journalist, her writing reached 40,000 readers a week for 14 years. Her byline is familiar to readers of the Australian Financial Review, Smart Company, BRW, Business Spectator, Women’s Agenda, ANZ Bluenotes and Company Director.
What that means to you is that she knows readers. She knows what they want. She knows what they expect. And she has been giving them what they want and expect for more than two decades.
Now, Kath guides smart, accomplished businesspeople through a momentous transition. They are experienced, thoughtful practitioners. They have an idea that is like a mental itch that must be scratched. Getting that idea out of their heads and into a book takes them to the next level in their business. They become sought-after authorities with the book to prove it.

GUEST BIO
After graduating from university, Ania spent a few years, and post graduate education, trying to find her way into the expected 9-5 mould in the not-for-profit Arts and Culture Sector. Although she loved working in the creative space, the mould wasn't one that would ever truly fit.

She started exploring the entrepreneur life, using her knowledge of the business side, as a musician and songwriter in the mid 2000s.

Fast forward to present time where she is the founder and head coach of a women's fitness coaching brand, Fierce Feminine Athletics, while also using her administrative superpowers to support other entrepreneurs.

When she’s not in front of a computer, on a yoga mat or running, you might find Ania backcountry canoe trip guiding, working at running and triathlon events, watching Hallmark movies or trying to finish one of the many books she’s started reading.

When running a business, we often reach out to trusted colleagues, mentors and even friends for advice. However, there is something to be said about looking inward rather than outward. Often our gut feelings, or intuition, can give us more answers if we really take the time to listen and trust. In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan speaks with Laetitia Andrac, the Founder and CEO of Essential Shift Consulting, intuitive and business strategy mentor, host of the Essential Shift Podcast and author of Light It: How to Trust Your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business.

GUEST BIO
With over fifteen years of strategy consulting, start-up mentoring and corporate leadership experience, Laetitia Andrac has led many successful growth and innovative programs in many high-profile global organisations, including Telstra, Deloitte, Doblin, Capgemini, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the French Government. She understands first-hand the daily juggle of successful entrepreneurs, which can leave them feeling triggered, time-poor, spread thin and burned out.

Laetitia knows these problems too well, as she experienced burnout in 2014. At the time, wrapping her head around being burned out was impossible. People like her didn’t burnout. This experience taught Laetitia the importance of reconnection with her intuition to avoid burnout. She shares that in her book, LIGHT IT : How to Trust your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business, explaining her LIGHT framework. It has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs shift from burned-out to blissed-out, reconnecting them to their intuition and inner knowing.

Laetitia’s business and leadership experience is backed by extensive qualifications. She holds a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Strategy from a top-nine business school. She holds an International Coaching Accreditation and is an expert in Reiki, Ayurveda, Meditation and Shamanism.

Laetitia’s clients value her unique way of combining intuition and strategy to find harmony and authenticity in how they grow their businesses and impact their communities. Her consulting business, Essential Shift™, is thriving and growing as she offers a unique approach to business and leadership.

She is a mother of two girls and has lived by the ocean in Australia since October 2014.

She shares that in her book, LIGHT IT : How to Trust your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business, explaining her LIGHT framework. It has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs shift from burned-out to blissed-out, reconnecting them to their intuition and inner knowing.

Laetitia’s business and leadership experience is backed by extensive qualifications. She holds a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Strategy from a top-nine business school. She holds an International Coaching Accreditation and is an expert in Reiki, Ayurveda, Meditation and Shamanism.

Laetitia’s clients value her unique way of combining intuition and strategy to find harmony and authenticity in how they grow their businesses and impact their communities. Her consulting business, Essential Shift™, is thriving and growing as she offers a unique approach to business and leadership.

She is a mother of two girls and has lived by the ocean in Australia since October 2014.

GUEST BIOS

Carolyn is the managing editor at Grammar Factory. As the author of a few books herself, she understands that producing one is always a team effort. Authors aren’t magicians whose fingers pour out perfect words as they type. They need help from a dispassionate third party who will hit the delete button fearlessly and give them the unvarnished truth about their manuscript. But they also need someone who can help find solutions to their writerly dilemmas and guide them down the difficult road to publication. And self-published authors need someone like this – a professional editor – even more.Carolyn likes reading books but has a nasty habit of re-writing them in her head as she goes along. She’s also been obsessively re-writing signage since the age of seven. Restaurants with blackboard menus beware – she’ll erase that incorrect apostrophe before you can say ‘possessive’! Fortunately, Grammar Factory is a haven for punctuation vigilantes, and she now has a safe outlet for my addiction.

Olivia is a journalist, creative writer and editor and has worn all of the publishing hats! She believes that storytelling is at the heart of our lives, and capturing those stories is an art worthy of perfection.Outside of the publishing world, she has a diverse portfolio of communications and marketing experience in corporate, government, and not-for-profit organizations. This has provided her with an eclectic perspective in the world of business!Olivia’s mission is to put her experience to good use by helping other writers get their message into the world. She sincerely believes that books have the power to change lives, and is honoured to be a part of that process.When she is not editing books or writing my own stories, you can find her hiking the great Canadian mountains, planning her next travel adventure, walking her dog, or savouring a cup of coffee at a local café.

Guest Bio
Will Greenblatt has been acting professionally since he was seven years old, initially starring in The Homecoming with Academy Award Winner Anne Bancroft. He graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 2010, but the toxic environment of the program left him jaded, so he quit acting. He moved to Spain where he discovered his love for teaching English, and then dived into the world of entrepreneurship, co-founding the Executive Coaching company Westgroup Ltd. in Hangzhou China. After exiting, he co-founded OutLoud Speakers School, an agency of actors teaching public speaking & communication skills to entrepreneurs and executives. He has repeatedly spoken and coached at Google, Wayfair, TechStars, Boston Dynamics, and Ericsson, as well as providing coaching to over 4500 individuals virtually worldwide. OutLoud’s clients have won numerous pitch competitions and raised over $200 million USD in investment. When he’s not running OutLoud, he is also a performing and recording musician, with his album Borden Street available on all streaming platforms. Will speaks 4 international languages, including Mandarin Chinese and is currently learning his 5th, Urdu/Hindi, to speak with his wife’s family.
