Well worth a re-listen, this episode was originally recorded a few years ago when romance and romantic suspense author, Kaye Kennedy, scaled her author business from zero to a million page reads in just six months. Kaye utilized her business skills to launch in a focussed way that was truly inspiring (then and now).

Kaye has continued publishing with incredible success and has also added being an author coach and psychic medium to her impressive resume!

About Kaye

Kaye Kennedy is the author of contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels featuring everyday heroes who love hard and make love harder. If you like steamy and soulful reads that will break your heart and put it back together again, then her stories are for you.

Kaye is an author coach and psychic medium by day and a romance novelist by night! She wrote her first book in the fourth grade, filling a marble notebook, and hooking her on creative writing. She earned her degree in English Literature and taught college composition & literature classes before switching gears entirely and becoming an entrepreneur, starting several businesses. Having always been a voracious reader, devouring three to four books per week, Kaye knew it would only be a matter of time before she saw her name on a book's byline.

If you're an author who is looking to level up, Kaye can help you get there by offering divine guidance and by removing energetic blockages that may be holding you back.

Not only is Kaye an author, she's a psychic medium, personal and professional development coach, Reiki Master, and an ordained minister. With over ten years of experience, she has performed more than a thousand readings for people all over the world. Her additional certifications in Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - Tapping), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) give her a breadth of skills to utilize in order to best assist her clients.

In addition, Kaye has been an entrepreneur in various industries for nearly fifteen years. Her experience led her to become a business development and branding coach for numerous small businesses. For the past 3 years, she has been working almost exclusively with authors.

While originally from New York, Kaye has lived in New Hampshire and Florida, but now calls Connecticut home. She is battling an invisible illness and resides with her rescue mutt turned service dog, Zeus, who is a character in Burning for Secrets. When she isn't writing, she's out paddling on the water, indulging in a beach read, checking out a brewery, or feeding her wanderlust.

Part Two of Two

"Currently .... we're at a unique industry-wide inflection point. Whether you're a new or established author doesn't matter. You have the opportunity to grow your career much faster than under normal circumstances." ~ Nicholas Erik

Nicholas Erik joins us again with fantastic insight into the impact technology is having on the publishing world — right down to us as individual authors. Now this isn't a pro or anti AI episode — it's about understanding how we as authors can adapt to these technology shifts, overcome our pain points through technology, and how the companies we're dealing with on a day-to-day basis are utilizing it.

Nick makes a really compelling case that the next three years could be a once-in-a-career moment to level up, and he's got this beautifully simple framework for cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually moves the needle.

And we had so much to talk about that — for the first time in a long time — we've split this into two episodes, because we didn't want to cut a single thing. Whether you're building to six figures or already there and wondering what's next, this one's for you.
