HUB 455: AUTHOR PANEL – Ally Berthiaume, Cornelia Kawann, and Stephanie McAuliffe

by Robbie Samuels | Jun 19, 2025 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

Author panel on turning your book into a business asset, featuring Ally Berthiaume, Cornelia Kawann, and Stephanie McAuliffe, hosted by Robbie Samuels.

What if your book isn’t the finish line, but the starting point? Turning your book into a business asset means using it to unlock new opportunities for your business, brand, and network.

Your book can lead to speaking gigs, consulting offers, and powerful connections—but only if you approach it with strategy. Every reader is a potential client or collaborator. Every event is a chance to position yourself as a thought leader. The key is staying open to what’s possible.

I’ve helped authors turn their books into business assets that generate real momentum. That’s why I offer book launch support focused on what happens after you publish.

Curious what doors your book could open? Let’s talk. Book a 30-minute brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com.

Now, let’s welcome our panelists, who will share how their books have led them to exciting and unforeseen opportunities.

Ally Berthiaume co-wrote “Do Not Write a Book…Until You Read This One: The Only Guide You Need to Pen, Publish, and Profit from Your Nonfiction Book,”  a no-nonsense, empowering guide that helps aspiring nonfiction authors navigate the publishing process with confidence.

Cornelia Kawann wrote “Change Your Energy – Change Your Life,” an empowering guide that combines science, practical exercises, and transformational insights to help you unlock your energy, embrace new opportunities, and create a more fulfilling, impactful life.

Stephanie McAuliffe wrote “The Impact of Silence: Reclaim the Sovereignty of Your Soul,” a powerful exploration of how unspoken trauma shapes our lives—and how reclaiming our voice can lead to profound healing and personal freedom.

Each guest shares how turning their book into a business asset has shaped their career. Please join me in welcoming Ally, Cornelia, and Stephanie.
