What this episode covers
Most speakers know they should write a book. Far fewer ever do. And the gap between those two groups? It’s bigger than most people think. Author Urs Koenig sits down with Rob to explore why a book has become one of the most powerful credibility tools a speaker can have, and what really gets in the way of finishing one. Drawing from his own journey and the work he’s done helping others get published, Urs breaks down the mindset, process, and discipline it takes to move from “I’ve got a book in me” to holding it in your hands.
