HUB 465: AUTHOR PANEL – Dan Gingiss, Deborah Stine, and Helen Holton

by Robbie Samuels | Jul 29, 2025 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

LIVE HUB 465 Panel Gingiss Stine Holton

How do you define success as an entrepreneurial author? Is it when your book opens doors and sparks conversations? Books should make people think, “I need to talk to them.” That might lead to a speaking invitation, a consulting opportunity, a new client, or a connection you never saw coming. The more clearly you show up in your expertise, the more those doors start to swing open.

I’m on a mission to help entrepreneurs figure out how to turn their book into a business asset, not just a business card. If you’re curious about what your book might open up for you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Let’s explore what’s possible.

Now, I’m excited to introduce three authors who know this journey well.

Dan Gingiss is the author of “Becoming The Experience Maker: Turn Everyday Interactions into Remarkable Customer Experiences,” which shows businesses how to transform ordinary customer interactions into powerful word-of-mouth marketing opportunities.

Deborah Stine wrote “From Expertise to Impact: A Practical Guide to Informing and Influencing Science and Technology Policy,” a guide that helps scientists, engineers, and health professionals use their knowledge to shape public policy and create real-world change.

Helen Holton wrote “Intentional Leadership: How to Drive Leaders, Visions, and Teams Forward,” a thoughtful, practical book for leaders who are ready to lead with clarity, purpose, and renewed energy.

Please join me in welcoming Dan, Deborah, and Helen.

Would you please leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful, and I read each one. Thanks for the inspiration!

In this episode, we discuss the following:

🟠 Stories as Business Accelerators: Discover why weaving real stories and personal experiences into your business book not only captivates—it's what opens doors, lands speaking engagements, and builds your reputation as an expert in your field.

🟠 Launch & Leverage: Get tried-and-tested tactics for building a strong book launch team, gathering Amazon reviews, pricing your business book for your target audience, and using your book to connect with dream clients.

🟠 From Doubt to Done: Learn the mental shifts and accountability hacks that helped these first-time and seasoned authors push through perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the notorious mid-book slump.

🟠 Building a Post-Launch Playbook: See how a book serves as more than a calling card—think actionable frameworks, workshop offers, companion downloads, and content upgrades that drive real business growth and new revenue streams.
