Emissary Publishing Episode 4

In this episode of the Emissary Publishing Podcast, Aaron Walker, an experienced entrepreneur, author, and mentor, shares his unique journey of becoming an author and the unexpected benefits it brought. He explains that he initially hesitated to write a book due to seeming boastful, but recognized the potential for his experiences to positively impact others. Despite the writing process taking considerable effort and time, he highlights the tangible returns it brought, particularly in gaining new coaching clients and speaking engagements, just by sharing his story in his book. Walker emphasises the importance of viewing authorship not as a financial endeavor, but as a platform to leave a legacy and inspire others with one’s individual narrative and experiences. Therefore, he advocates for potential authors to write authentically and acknowledge that their personal story is important to share, providing hope and encouragement to their readers.
