Five Tips for Writing Your Book in Thirty Days with Azul Terronez
I had a university friend once who needed to borrow my computer. He sat down at it early in the morning, and by the time I got back home that evening, he had no more words in his document than he had when he started hours before. He had spent the entire day writing, editing, deleting, and rewriting, only to have zero progress by the end of the day.
On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I share how you can avoid this kind of disappointment and frustration and actually sit down and write your book in thirty days.

How to Set Impossible, Stupid Goals with Steve Sims
Steve Sims wrote his newest book out of pure aggravation. After he wrote his first book, he told me on an earlier podcast, Episode 19, that he didn’t ever plan on writing another book. But then the pandemic hit, and Steve suddenly didn’t have to travel every month. He had time to be with his family and to breathe and to think. But what he saw happening around the world angered him as people tore each other down instead of challenging and supporting one another.
In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Steve about his journey writing his newest book, Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, and how making big, stupid goals can impact our lives and our businesses.

How to Have the Confidence to Speak on a TEDx Stage with Daria Vodopianova
Daria Vodopianova turned down two invites to speak on TEDx stages because she believed she didn’t have anything to share. A nonprofit group talked her into telling her story, and there she realized that she did have something to share and she could indeed be an example to others and make an impact as a speaker.
In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Daria about speaking on stages and her journey to create She Leads, her business that helps grow other female leaders.
