Description

Welcome to Authority Through Authorship: The Executive Authority Podcast — the show for business professionals who are ready to step into recognised authority, elevate their positioning, and build scalable growth through the power of a strategically written book.

Hosted by Kevin Long, founder of Babysteps Publishing and a leading authority in business publishing, this podcast is designed for consultants, coaches, executives, and entrepreneurs who are no longer satisfied with being seen as service providers — and are ready to become industry authorities.

Each episode breaks down how to:

  • Turn your expertise into a high-impact business book
  • Position yourself as a trusted authority in your market
  • Attract higher-value clients and opportunities
  • Build a framework-led business, not just a service
  • Leverage your book as a long-term authority and revenue asset

In a world flooded with content and driven by AI, credibility is becoming the ultimate differentiator.

Your book is no longer optional. It is your authority anchor.

This podcast shows you how to build it — and more importantly, how to use it to grow your business, your reputation, and your influence.

If you’re ready to move from expert to recognised authority, you’re in the right place.
