Welcome to Beyond the Bestseller: Inspiring Women Through Books, Careers, and Big Leaps

In this debut episode, host Kelly Schuknecht shares the vision behind Beyond the Bestseller. Kelly’s passion for supporting professional women and helping them achieve more has inspired this podcast, where she’ll feature female authors who’ve written books to share their stories, promote their businesses, and make an impact. This episode covers Kelly’s personal journey, the motivation behind creating the podcast, and the inspiration she hopes to offer to other women. Each episode will dive into conversations with incredible women authors—those who’ve taken leaps, written books, and used their voices to inspire change. These guests haven’t necessarily written for bestseller status but instead to reach that one person who needs their message. For Kelly, Beyond the Bestseller is all about amplifying the voices of women who’ve leaned into their careers, overcome challenges, and are doing something impactful in the world. Tune in to learn more about the incredible upcoming guests this season, including authors Cara Alwill, Sandy Gerber, and Monica Parkin, who each bring unique stories and valuable lessons for professional women on their own journeys.
