HUB 483: AUTHOR PANEL – Dan Gingiss and Marcia Dawood

by Robbie Samuels | Dec 2, 2025 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

So, your book is out in the world. Are you wondering, “Now what?” That post-launch lull can feel disorienting (I should know, I’m in it right now!). You’ve poured so much into it, but if you don’t have a next step, it’s easy for momentum to fade fast.

At the Biz Book Pub Hub, we help you plan for what comes next, whether that’s turning your book into a keynote, a course, or a business development tool. You don’t need to guess. You need a guide. Get plugged in at www.BizBookPubHub.com and keep your book working for you.

Our panelists today are here to share what they did before and after their book launch…

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.

Marcia Dawood is the author of “Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards, and Increase Your Happiness,” which equips you to harness angel investing for social impact, financial gain, and personal fulfillment.

Please join me in welcoming Dan and Marcia.

🟠 Listening to Readers and Pivoting: See how tuning in to reader feedback revealed untapped needs and led to the next book, plus why your first audience isn’t always your final audience.
