Authority Through Authorship: The Executive Authority Podcast
Welcome to Authority Through Authorship: The Executive Authority Podcast — the show for business professionals who are ready to step into recognised authority, elevate their positioning, and build scalable growth through the power of a strategically written book.
Hosted by Kevin Long, founder of Babysteps Publishing and a leading authority in business publishing, this podcast is designed for consultants, coaches, executives, and entrepreneurs who are no longer satisfied with being seen as service providers — and are ready to become industry authorities.
Each episode breaks down how to:
- Turn your expertise into a high-impact business book
- Position yourself as a trusted authority in your market
- Attract higher-value clients and opportunities
- Build a framework-led business, not just a service
- Leverage your book as a long-term authority and revenue asset
In a world flooded with content and driven by AI, credibility is becoming the ultimate differentiator.
Your book is no longer optional. It is your authority anchor.
This podcast shows you how to build it — and more importantly, how to use it to grow your business, your reputation, and your influence.
If you’re ready to move from expert to recognised authority, you’re in the right place.

Where to Start Building Authority: Extracting the Expertise You Already Have.
Most professionals believe building authority starts with creating something new. It doesn't. In this episode, Kevin Long explains why your authority already exists, hidden in years of client conversations, and why the real challenge is extraction, not creation.
You'll discover the single question that unlocks the structure of your book: what are the ten to twelve questions your clients ask you most often? Kevin explains why those questions contain your framework, why evidence beats inspiration when building recognised authority, and how patterns in your answers reveal the methodology you've been running instinctively for years.
Drawing on eighteen years and more than seven hundred Amazon number one bestsellers, Kevin shows how structure turns scattered knowledge into intellectual capital, and why the Authority Gap closes through showing, not knowing.
If you've been wondering where to start, this episode gives you a starting point you can use this week. Your expertise doesn't need reinventing. It needs extracting.
