The Kelli Christina Show

In this inspiring episode of The Kelli Christina Show, Kelli sits down with award-winning author, editor, ghostwriter, and founder of vocem LLC, Cortney Donelson. From her early career as a physical therapist to becoming a trusted voice behind bestselling books and powerful personal stories, Cortney shares her remarkable journey of following her passion for writing despite being told she wasn't destined to become an author.

Together, Kelli and Cortney explore the art of storytelling, the challenges of writing across multiple genres, the importance of preserving an author's authentic voice, and the role faith plays in both life and business. Cortney also reveals her top advice for aspiring authors, including how to overcome self-doubt, define your audience, and create a compelling manuscript.

The conversation takes a personal turn as they discuss their collaboration on Kelli's upcoming book, In Good Faith: A Whistleblower's War Against a Broken System, the publishing journey with Morgan James Publishing, and the lessons leaders can learn about ethics, accountability, and creating lasting impact.

Whether you're an author, entrepreneur, leader, or someone pursuing a purpose-driven career, this episode offers valuable insights on courage, creativity, faith, and the power of sharing stories that matter.

I would like to welcome Scott Murray on the “Kelli Christina Show: Thought Leaders of Our American Industries.” I am looking forward to discussing Scott’s newest book “Rhyme Has Reason: Alphabet of Life” and this is his third book. 

Scott Murray’s newest book inspires personal growth and community unity, encouraging readers to embrace positivity and character in every aspect of life. This book is a poetic journey with many inspirational and daily messages. 

I am personally going to enjoy reading this book and it nurtures emotional and healthy minds and spirit. It is a perfect book to add to my collection. I have always enjoyed daily motivational books from authors like Max Lucado and Joyce Meyer in prior years. As a member of Alanon for 18 years, then I own most Alanon book materials including “Courage to Change” and “One Day at a Time.”

Introducing -CEO David Hancock of Morgan James Publishing. 

One night, I was sitting quietly and listening to a couple executives discuss good “old fashioned business” in our country. You see, no matter how many years or decades pass then we have some solid and basic qualities and trends that will never change. Fancy technologies, IT and even AI will never change the basic foundations that build successful business and solid results. There are some extremely successful leaders that still strive and thrive on business relationships. While emails, texts, internet and social media are wonderful communication tools. Never forget that physical conversations and meet-ups will never be outdated in business. Qualities including character, values, trust, transparency, ethics, honesty, doing the right things can never be replaced. Team synergy and energy take a group of people to build. 

I am a leader that still makes selections in business based on common qualities and trust. I am very excited to broadcast CEO David Hancock and owner of Morgan James Publishing on my talk show. It was a very difficult and long road for me professionally choosing a new home for my book projects and their future. It is a personal honor to be an official author through MJP in New York City and Virginia 2025 and have David as the boss for my book project and author journey. Some journeys cannot be taken alone, and they require trusted help and advice. 

I look forward to hearing about David’s new book “The Babylon Blueprint for Authors.” It’s coming this December. He has authored over 20 influential books in his lifetime.
