Authors Who Lead - Learn to write a book from bestselling authors and leaders
Business:Entrepreneurship
Every person’s life is a unique manuscript filled with triumphs and tribulations, a story that when shared can resonate, inspire, and reveal universal truths. In this episode of the Authors Who Lead podcast, I talk with Andrew Coville, a former marine turned police officer turned author, about his powerful memoir "Summer 2009.” Through an intimate conversation that touches on themes of vulnerability, imposter syndrome, and the cathartic writing process, this episode offers listeners profound insights into the transformational power of storytelling.
