Many coaches dream of writing a book.
A book builds authority, opens speaking opportunities and positions you as an expert.
But what happens after someone buys it?
That’s exactly what I explored with Shahd Safarani, founder of ResMind, on Podcast Profits Unleashed.
Shahd believes most books don’t fail because they’re poorly written. They fail because the relationship with the reader ends far too soon.
Many readers buy books with good intentions but never finish them. Others finish the final page without taking another step.
That means years of knowledge often become little more than a business card.
Shahd shared how AI changes this.
Instead of a static reading experience, readers can continue asking questions after reading each chapter. The AI answers using only the author’s own content, making the experience feel like an ongoing conversation.
For coaches, consultants and experts, this creates something incredibly valuable.
It builds trust.
The AI also learns which topics readers care about most and identifies who may genuinely benefit from higher-level coaching or consulting.
Rather than relying on hope, authors gain real insight into engagement.
One idea particularly stood out.
Marketing isn’t usually the biggest problem.
Many authors already have an audience and successfully sell books.
The missing piece is what happens afterwards.
Without a system to nurture readers, even bestselling books miss enormous opportunities.
This conversation reinforced something I often teach through podcast guesting.
Authority gets people interested.
Relationships help people decide.
Books, podcasts and AI now work together beautifully.
Podcast interviews introduce your ideas.
Books demonstrate depth.
AI keeps the conversation alive.
If you’re already using podcast guesting to grow your business, adding a book—and an AI experience behind it—can become an incredibly powerful strategy.
