Writing and publishing a book is something many business owners aspire to do, but few complete. Why? Well, we know that publishing a book can help build authority and tap into new potential clients. But what happens when you add a second book to the mix? A different title. A different topic. A different reader journey. And possibly…even a different ideal reader. Chaos? Or catapulting credibility?

In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan talks with Dr. Paige Williams…researcher, author and trusted advisor to CEOs and senior leaders about her new book Own It! and how it ties in to her brand while also creating unique opportunities for growth.
