Think writing a book is just for authors? Think again. In this episode of the Happy Productive Podcast, Jennifer sits down with author, speaker, and her husband Douglas Robbins to talk about how business owners can write impactful books that boost credibility and open doors.

Together, they reveal the behind-the-scenes of the Author Accelerator program, how writing creates authority in your niche, and what it really takes to get your book from idea to published. This is more than just a fun husband-wife banter. It’s a wake-up call for entrepreneurs sitting on a powerful story that needs to be told.
