Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴194. How to fearlessly hit Publish feat. Alan Weiss (Weekend Rewind)
Hey, friends! Welcome to Talk The Walk — and this one’s for all the writers, podcasters, LinkedIn post-drafters, and idea hoarders who know they have something to say… but just can’t seem to hit publish.
In this live episode, I’m joined (as always) by my favorite co-host Alan Weiss — the guy with 54 books (and counting), multiple bestsellers, and absolutely zero fear when it comes to shipping his ideas out into the world.
We explore:
- Why publishing anything (from blog to book) is a credibility game-changer
- The surprising difference between a daily podcast and a book — and why one of my clients only booked me after reading the latter
- Where fear really comes from (and how to trick your brain into writing anyway)
- The difference between writing to impress vs. writing to express
- Why Alan never writes for his audience — and still keeps them hooked
- How train crashes, robins, and even breaking up with your barista can spark powerful IP
If you've ever stared at a draft and wondered, "Is this any good?" — this one’s for you.
📚 BONUS: Alan also shares how he landed paid gigs from books that didn’t even sell well — because the right people read them.
🎧 Hit play, and remember: done is better than perfect.
