29 May 2025

Description

Send us a textMany aspiring authors feel a pull to share their wisdom—especially about something as universal yet challenging as parenting. In this episode of Authors Who Lead, Scott Jeffrey Miller offers a refreshingly candid perspective. Miller, an eight-time Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author, recently co-authored "Parenting: Wrong Turns, Right Lessons" with his teenage son, Thatcher. For Miller, writing a parenting book wasn’t just inevitable because of his professional background—it was a way to invite his children into “the family business” of authorship.Timestamp:00:00 Life Insights Through Reading  04:39 Author Mindset & Collab Writing  06:49 Public Life & Maturity  10:31 Teenage Son’s Raw POV  14:32 Building an Author Platform  17:23 Truth About Publishers  21:13 Self-Publishing Journey  23:21 Self-Belief vs. Self-Promo  27:28 Define Your Publishing Why  31:26 Books as Messages  32:46 Growth Reflections  37:07 Rise of Shorter Books  39:59 Career on Course Wins  43:09 Unfinished Book Ideas  46:05 Real Feedback vs. Friends  48:43 Dad Moves & Parenting  51:57 Writing & Self-Incrimination Full show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS📚 Write and Publish your bookCONNECT📷 Instagram🎬 TikTok👫🏻 Facebook💼 LinkedIn🐦‍⬛ Twitter🤝🏻 Apply to be a GuestLEAVE A REVIEW✍🏻 Review on Apple Podcasts✍️ Review on Spotify🖱️ Episode Webpage
