    How AI, LinkedIn & Social Audio Are Changing the Rules for Leaders Al Kushner Interview Episode #DCLIII The Doctor of Digital™ G. Mick Smith

    🎧 Title How AI, LinkedIn & Social Audio Are Changing the Rules for Leaders ❓ First Paragraph (Big Question Style) What if you could future-proof your leadership strategy—not by working harder, but by working smarter—with AI, LinkedIn, and the rising force of social audio? 🎯 Purpose of the Show The show aims to transform your business and life with education and inspiration. I introduce busy people to trends in ideas and improving their lives by highlighting authors, leaders, and game-changers they should know. 👤 Second Paragraph (Credibility + Background) Today’s guest is Al Kushner—an award-winning author and entrepreneur who helps CEOs harness cutting-edge tech to grow and lead with confidence. His upcoming book, The AI LinkedIn Advantage, drops July 4 and is already generating buzz among forward-thinking executives. 📚 Episode Summary In this episode, we’ll explore how CEOs can integrate AI with social audio and LinkedIn to elevate their business presence, create deeper audience connections, and stay ahead of the digital curve.

Your leadership edge starts now. 🚨 The Idea-to-Author Coach: Literary CPR for Thought Leaders I’m Mick—The Doctor of Digital. I diagnose why manuscripts die—and revive them into authority-building books. Welcome to the place where stories are reborn and legacies begin. 🔗 [Subscribe on Substack](https://substack.com/@thedoctorofdigital) 📘 [Free Lesson – Skool Classroom](https://www.skool.com/kommunity-pulse-4773/classroom/4a2edb2f?md=2c6c64f9670242cc89fb067ad66262fc) 📅 [Book a Call](https://calendly.com/thedoctorofdigital-) Thanks for stopping by. They call me The Doctor of Digital—but I wasn’t born with a mic in one hand and a manuscript in the other. I came from working-class roots: a family of farmers, factory workers, and truck drivers. Education wasn’t a given—it was a gamble. My parents were the first in their families to graduate from high school, let alone college. Me? Teachers said I wasn’t “college material.” But books saved me. They became more than stories—they became survival. They taught me to think, to question, and eventually, to write. That love of learning carried me through three advanced degrees, 85 academic papers, and a life in higher education: professor, campus dean, VP, executive director. But none of that erased the boy inside me who wanted to tell stories. So I did. I wrote a novel. Then a screenplay. Then a non-fiction book—and now, three more are in the works: one on American history, one on music, and one on the tension between work and life. I also host three podcasts, speak at national conferences, and coach authors like you—visionaries with a story that matters. And here's what I know: Most books don’t fail because the writer isn’t smart enough. They fail because the structure collapses before the message lands. Because the heart of the story gets buried in doubt, perfectionism, or the fog of too much information. That’s where I come in. As a book coach, I specialize in literary CPR. I help thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and aspiring writers resuscitate their voice, shape their message, and write books that build authority, not gather dust. I've lived the academic grind. I’ve wrestled with impostor syndrome. I’ve stared down the blank page and asked, Who am I to write this? Now I help others answer that same question, with boldness. So whether you're sitting on a manuscript that's flatlining or just starting to imagine the possibility of a book, you're in the right place. I believe your story matters—and I can help you shape it so others believe it too. 🎯 Ready to begin? Book a complimentary strategy call today. Let’s diagnose what’s holding your book back—and bring your vision to life. 📅 [Schedule Now](https://calendly.com/thedoctorofdigital-) 📘 [Or jump into my free lesson right here](https://www.skool.com/kommunity-pulse-4773/classroom/4a2edb2f?md=2c6c64f9670242cc89fb067ad66262fc) Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-doctor-of-digital-gmick-smith-phd--1279468/support.

The Idea to Author Coach!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ideatoauthorcommunity Hi there! Welcome to my page, where I help aspiring writers achieve their dreams of becoming published authors. My name is Mick, known online as The Doctor of Digital, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you. Growing up in a working-class family, I was surrounded by people who worked hard to provide for their families. My father was a factory worker, and my grandfather was a truck driver. Before that, our family had a long history of farming. But despite our humble beginnings, my parents were determined to break the cycle of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their children. My parents were the first in their respective families to graduate from high school, let alone college. In fact, other than a half-uncle, I was the first in my family to even attend college. And I was considered "not college material" by my teachers. But my parents instilled in me a love for reading, learning, and a strong work ethic, which helped me overcome the odds and achieve my academic goals. Throughout my academic journey, I wrote over 85 academic papers, earned three advanced degrees, including a PhD, and earned nine certificates in executive management, and educational technology. Not surprisingly, I became a professor, teaching 35 college-level courses. I even held leadership positions such as Campus Dean, Vice President, and Executive Director. But despite my many accomplishments, I never lost sight of my passion for writing. After years of writing and teaching, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a published author. And when my first book was published as a novel, I followed that with a screenplay. Since then, I've written a non-fiction book, and I'm currently working on three more book proposals, on history, a book on music, and work-life balance, respectively. I am also active on three podcasts, have a voice talent, and am a favored speaker at conferences, sharing my expertise on educational technology. Regardless of your writing interests I can help. But my journey didn't come without its challenges. I faced many obstacles, including self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, I refused to let these challenges hold me back. Instead, I used them as opportunities to learn and grow, and to develop a growth mindset that has served me well throughout my career. As a book coach, I've had the privilege of working with many aspiring writers who are struggling to overcome their own challenges. And I've seen firsthand the transformative power of writing and storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that writing can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. So, if you're ready to take your writing to the next level and achieve your publishing dreams, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let's work together to overcome your challenges, develop your writing skills, and bring your stories to life. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to working with you!

But despite our humble beginnings, my parents were determined to break the cycle of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their children. My parents were the first in their respective families to graduate from high school, let alone college. In fact, other than a half-uncle, I was the first in my family to even attend college. And I was considered "not college material" by my teachers. But my parents instilled in me a love for reading, learning, and a strong work ethic, which helped me overcome the odds and achieve my academic goals. Throughout my academic journey, I wrote over 85 academic papers, earned three advanced degrees, including a PhD, and earned nine certificates in executive management, and educational technology. Not surprisingly, I became a professor, teaching 35 college-level courses. I even held leadership positions such as Campus Dean, Vice President, and Executive Director. But despite my many accomplishments, I never lost sight of my passion for writing. After years of writing and teaching, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a published author. And when my first book was published as a novel, I followed that with a screenplay. Since then, I've written a non-fiction book, and I'm currently working on three more book proposals, on history, a book on music, and work-life balance, respectively. I am also active on three podcasts, have a voice talent, and am a favored speaker at conferences, sharing my expertise on educational technology. Regardless of your writing interests I can help. But my journey didn't come without its challenges. I faced many obstacles, including self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, I refused to let these challenges hold me back. Instead, I used them as opportunities to learn and grow, and to develop a growth mindset that has served me well throughout my career. As a book coach, I've had the privilege of working with many aspiring writers who are struggling to overcome their own challenges. And I've seen firsthand the transformative power of writing and storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that writing can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. So, if you're ready to take your writing to the next level and achieve your publishing dreams, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let's work together to overcome your challenges, develop your writing skills, and bring your stories to life. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to working with you!
