Listen "🌴238. The Lowest Hanging Watermelon: How I Chose My First Book Topic"
Episode Synopsis
Today I’m answering a great question from a friend: “Do you decide to write a book and then pick the topic, or do you already have the topic and then decide to write?”For me, the answer was simple — I just wanted to be an author. That identity was important to me. The easiest path? Writing about something I’d already been talking about for years: workshop design. That’s how The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint came to life.In this episode, I share:Why author identity came before topic for meThe role my podcast, community, and hundreds of conversations played in shaping my first bookHow procrastination (and a coffee with Jade Miller) helped spark my SPARK frameworkWhy Substack has become my “book lab” for my next big idea around Work FameThe one reason you shouldn’t write a book (spoiler: it’s not for quick money)If you’re thinking about writing your own business book, this episode will help you reflect on the bigger questions first: Who do you want to become?
