    “Speak Your Book” - the first chapter

    Today I would like to read to you the first chapter of my new book, “Speak Your Book.” It details the method I use to turn the ideas and expertise of founders and educators into short, focused books that raise funds and open doors. Advance praise for “Speak Your Book”:”The book practices what it preaches: one big idea, no padding, readable in an evening. If you're an expert with a book stuck in your head, read this, then take the four walks he gives you in the conclusion. You may meet your book for the first time.”-Ara Rubyan, author of “Every Plane Contains Its Crash” Buy the full book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/050e3Kdz This is a public episode.

    The Three Questions

    Every education founder I talk to can recite the same line, almost word-for-word: “We do things differently here.” And they’re right. They do. They teach differently, support differently, see children differently. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: if a parent can’t describe what makes your school unique in their own words, your difference disappears. Not because it isn’t real—but because it isn’t portable. In this 11-minute audio, I walk you through three diagnostic questions that reveal whether your school’s message is clear enough to travel beyond your building. As you listen, try answering each question out loud. If you find yourself stumbling or reaching for generic language, that’s not a failure—that’s valuable information about the gap your school’s story needs to close. If you struggled to answer these clearly, you’re not alone. This is exactly what I help education founders articulate—turning what’s in your head into words that actually stick with parents, staff, and funders. Want to explore whether creating your school’s book makes sense? Book a clarity call here. Adam J. Blust spent 30 years working across different parts of education—as a reporter, inside state agencies, and helping educational organizations communicate their work. Now he helps education founders turn their vision into books that increase funding and enrollment. This is a public episode.
