In this episode, Becky sits down with Bobby Kelly, personal systems strategist and author of The Next Chapter Starts Now.

Bobby shares the incredible, high-speed story of how he wrote his entire book in just ten hours by dictating his thoughts while pacing his backyard. We dive deep into the intersection of performance psychology, mindset, and physical habits, exploring how to move past feeling "stuck" to achieve consistent follow-through in both life and business.

Bobby also pulls back the curtain on the technical side of audiobook production. Drawing from his 35 years in the fitness industry, he shares invaluable professional tips for authors who choose to narrate their own work—including how to set up a DIY home studio, how to manage vocal fatigue, and the "5-4-3-2-1" method to make post-production editing seamless for your sound engineer.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The Execution Strategy: How to identify your "next chapter" and build systems to reach it.
• Rapid Writing Techniques: The benefits of dictation and speaking your truth for nonfiction authors.
• Audiobook Pro-Tips: Practical advice on recording, managing ambient noise, and handling emotional content during narration.
• Distribution Realities: Insights into the complexities of navigating major retailers and expanding your reach.
