Authority Publishing Founder & CEO, H.J. Chammas - Why Your Book Should Build More Than Royalties

H.J. Chammas, Founder & CEO of Authority Publishing, joins Clint Betts for a conversation on personal branding, entrepreneurship, publishing, AI, and how leaders can turn their expertise into authority.

After leaving the corporate world at Nestlé, building financial independence through real estate, and experiencing the failure of his own first book, H.J. discovered an important lesson: publishing a book isn't really about selling books. For entrepreneurs, executives, coaches, and consultants, a book can become the foundation for credibility, speaking opportunities, partnerships, clients, and an entire personal brand.

Today, Authority Publishing helps experts transform their knowledge and experience into intellectual property designed to make an impact and grow their businesses. H.J. breaks down his Publish, Promote, Monetize framework and explains why simply putting a book on Amazon is nowhere near enough.
