The CEO Author UNCUT

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.

Social Media for Authors with Raewyn Sangari

If you’ve ever been told “just show up online” and wanted to scream… this episode is for you. I sat down with Raewyn Sangari — book marketing strategist, social media educator, and the Creative Director of the Women in Publishing Summit — to talk about what actually moves the needle for authors building their platforms from the ground up. We got into what it really looks like to show up online in a way that feels authentic and consistent without turning into a walking sales pitch. Raewyn shared how authors can build real reader connection, show up like the kind of author they’d want to follow, and market in a way that feels natural (because readers are fans first, and fans who feel seen do not need to be chased). If you’re an author trying to grow your audience, build community, and sell books without losing your voice, you’re going to love this conversation.

The Lies You Believe & The Truths You Don't with The Real Jason Duncan

This episode was a mindset shake-up in the best way. I sat down with Jason Duncan — Founder & CEO of The Exiter Club, best-selling author of Exit Without Exiting, 2x TEDx speaker, and host of The Root of All Success podcast — and we went way beyond “how to exit a business.” We talked about the lies entrepreneurs tell themselves, the truths they struggle to believe, and why so many high-achievers look successful on paper but still don’t feel free in real life. Jason broke down the mindset shifts that have to happen if you want to stop building a job and start building a business that actually supports your life. One of the biggest parts of the conversation was his framework around the 5 freedoms entrepreneurs need in order to feel truly free, not just financially, but mentally, emotionally, and in how they operate day to day. If you’ve been grinding, carrying too much, and telling yourself “this is just what it takes,” this episode will challenge you (and give you a better way).
