The Author Entrepreneur Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jessica DeBry
This podcast was created for female business owners, coaches, and service providers to answer this question: how can I take what I already know, turn it into a short and simple self-published book, then leverage that book into six and seven figures and beyond? That's the question and this podcast is the answer. Welcome to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast!
Hey! Welcome back!
Today’s episode is a little different. I’m opening up about three things I’ve changed my mind on when it comes to writing, publishing, and building a business with a book. Spoiler: growth means allowing yourself to pivot ... even when you’ve been preaching something for years.
These are lessons I’ve learned from working in the author entrepreneur space since 2018, and from real life (like a scary few months with my mom that made me rethink a lot of things). So if you’ve been clinging to old rules about writing, AI, or what it takes to build authority ... this one’s for you.
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
- Why I changed my mind about authors putting their face on the BOOK COVER (you gotta hear why!)
- My totally changed mind on AI & ChatGPT and WHAT you should be using it for in your book process
- Why I no longer believe a book is the ONLY way to build authority
This episode is all about giving yourself permission to evolve. I’m sharing what I’ve learned, where I’ve shifted, and why it’s okay to change your mind as you grow.

Today I’m joined by the dynamic Miranda Von Fricken, speaker, LinkedIn coach, and bestselling author of Own Your Awesome. If you’ve ever wondered whether your corporate experience, content, or even casual ideas could translate into a book (and a brand), this episode is for you.
Miranda shares how her first book wasn’t the one she originally planned, but it became the perfect launchpad for credibility, speakerships, and an engaged reader community. We also dive into the power of personal branding, writing what you already know, and the ripple effect of saying yes to yourself.
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
1. How Miranda turned her LinkedIn expertise into a bestselling book (and why it made her MORE MONEY on stages!)
-
A behind-the-scenes look at Miranda’s author journey, from imposter syndrome to owning her awesome
-
The power of starting with the easiest book (and letting go of the “perfect” one)

Hey there! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! Today we're talking about the impact of ChatGPT on authors and entrepreneurs.
I'll be honest, I was initially VERY hesitant about using ChatGPT and AI, but now my perspective has shifted a bit. Let's touch on the dual nature of AI as both a tool and a disruptor.
This episode breaks down three things you need to know about standing out with your book in our current AI landscape (aka how NOT to be "garbage guru").
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
1. How ChatGPT is going to produce a lot of "garbage gurus", but how YOU can rise above it
-
How to leverage the speed and clarity that AI can provide for your book journey
-
Why the messenger is more important than the message

Hello there! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! Today we're talking about how to podcast your book.
I talk to many female entrepreneurs who tell me they're considering either starting a podcast OR writing a book. And this is where I say, "Why not do BOTH?"
The big benefit to writing and publishing a book is that you do the work once and all of the upside on the backend is completely passive. BUT I also know from personal experience that writing an entire book manuscript can be pretty intimidating, so I recorded this episode to inspire you to take action via a more approachable avenue: a podcast!
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
1. The 4-step process to recoding a podcast that transitions easily into your book manuscript
-
Time-saving AI tools that transform your recorded episodes into actual chapters
-
The key elements to have in each podcast episode that translate into key book chapter elements

Happy New Year! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! I'm so excited to be back after a few months away to share three reasons why 2024 is the year of the Author Entrepreneur (I know, I know, I'm a little biased, but hear me out).
Also, I want to remind you not to dwell on previous failures when planning out your goals for the new year.
In this episode, I share something I haven't shared previously: that one year ago I was feeling pretty defeated. But a shift in my thinking really switched things up and propelled me forward into writing and publishing Author Entrepreneur, which in turn up-leveled certain aspects of my own biz (including a sold-out program launch 6 months post-book launch).
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
1. The three big reasons why 2024 is a unique pocket of opportunity for business owners who have a book to rise above in their industry

Why short-form content is no longer "valuable" and a long-form asset like a BOOK immediately sets you apart from the rest
-
That nothing feels as valuable as a bestselling book to your prospective client or customer (hint, hint, NOW is your time to make it happen!)

Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! This episode is a short one, inspired in part by something I took away from the State of the Union address.
I watch the State of the Union every year, no matter who is in office or what political party, because I think it's interesting to see how real-life stories are weaved into statistics and agendas and it's a reminder to all of us how powerful stories can be.
This short episode is for you if you're thinking about a book or working on a book and have been leaning too heavily into sharing strategies (but haven't shared any personal stories). This is your friendly nudge to share more stories!
*WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***
1. The power of human connection and why personal stories are MUST for your book
-
How people buy with emotion, but justify with logic (and how this ties into the importance of your book)
-
Why every entrepreneur absolutely must have a book to help drive connection, and ultimately sales, in their business

Instagram is dead. Seriously, it’s just not what it was before. I say this because I know you might be devoting hours a day into an app that I believe does not have the ROI it used to.
