Why All Authors Need an Audiobook with Vaughn Fahie

If you’ve been sitting on an audiobook idea and telling yourself, “I’ll do it later,” this episode is your sign. I sat down with Vaughn Fahie — aka The Voice Brander — a veteran audio engineer, educator, speaker, author, and jazz saxophonist with over three decades in the audio industry. Vaughn has edited and distributed 3,000+ hours of influential speaker content, produced 14 of his own saxophone jazz albums, and today he’s focused on helping authors extend their message through audiobooks. Vaughn is the Founder and CEO of Audio Newborn Productions, and he’s produced 100+ author-narrated audiobooks in the last 36 months. We talked about why audiobooks are a major opportunity for authors right now, what most people get wrong about the process, and how to make your audiobook feel like a premium extension of your brand, not an intimidating project you keep postponing. If you want your voice to reach audiences you are not touching yet, this conversation will light a fire.

Neuro Resilient Leader with Angus Nelson

This episode was a reality check for high-performing leaders who are “successful”… but still feel the pressure living in their body. I sat down with Angus Nelson, author of Neuro Resilient Leader and founder of Evolve Leadership, and we talked about a core truth most leaders overlook: a lot of leadership problems are actually nervous system problems in disguise. We got into Leadership Stability (staying clear, decisive, and grounded under sustained pressure), why decision-making gets slower and heavier even when you’re smart and capable, and how leaders can upgrade their internal operating system to lead at the speed of change. Angus also broke down his C³ Protocol (Clarity, Capacity, Composure) and why his core insight hits so hard: you can’t scale what you haven’t regulated.

13 Ways to Make Money With Your Book

This solo episode is for every author who’s been told, “Just sell more books,” and knew deep down that was not the full plan. I broke down the 13 ways authors can make money with their books, because royalties are only one stream, and for most authors they’re not the fastest path to real income. I walked through practical ways to turn your book into a business asset that creates multiple revenue streams, builds authority, and opens doors. If you’re sitting on a book (or you’ve already published) and you’re ready to monetize it with intention, this episode will give you a clear menu of options so you can choose what fits your brand, your audience, and your lifestyle.

Becoming the 1% with Caden Vittorini

This episode was for anybody who’s tired of watching young people get underestimated. I sat down with Caden Vittorini, CEO & Founder of Vitt Factor, TEDx speaker, #1 best-selling author, and one of the top youth life coaches out right now, and we talked about what it really takes to build confidence, leadership, and purpose in the next generation. Caden has led interactive school assemblies in 100+ schools and has impacted over 50,000 students, and his perspective is both motivating and practical. We got into what he’s seeing on the front lines with teens and young adults, what’s actually holding them back, and how leaders (parents, mentors, educators, and entrepreneurs) can help them develop real self-belief and direction. We also talked about his book, what inspired it, and what he wants readers to walk away with after they finish it. If you care about impact that’s real (not performative) and you believe authorship is a tool for legacy, you’re going to love this conversation.

The 5 Stages of Widowhood with Sandie Fuenty

This episode was tender, powerful, and full of perspective. I sat down with Sandie Fuenty, author, columnist, and longtime businesswoman, to talk about love, loss, faith, and what it looks like to keep choosing life while you’re still carrying grief. Sandie shared her journey about the season that changed everything: walking beside her husband through his health decline and the kind of resilience you only learn when life forces you into a new chapter. Her first solo book, ’Til Death Do Us Part, is a heartfelt reflection on widowhood, healing, and moving forward without pretending you are “over it.” This conversation is for anyone navigating grief, caregiving, major transitions, or the quiet work of rebuilding.
