How to Turn Your TEDx into a Book


Azul Is Interviewed by Steve Vannoy about His Current Books

“That shift really allowed me to have confidence that what I have to say actually matters, and becoming an author actually gave me a whole new world of opportunity to talk to people because people saw me differently.” —Azul Terronez

Have you ever had thoughts that maybe you were an imposter and weren’t meant to do what you’re passionate about? And that maybe if someone found out who you really are, they wouldn’t appreciate you, or admire you, or want you? Being a writer is like having imposter syndrome attached to you at all times. Letting go of that is a big part of becoming an author.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I show up feeling like an impostor. It’s so easy for me to be behind this microphone and interview others and tell you all what to do, but today I’m interviewed by Steve Vannoy. He asks me about the current books I’ve been working on and uncovers what happens behind the scenes with me. I’m an author and the one you hear from on this podcast, but you don’t hear much about my own writing. It’s a vulnerable moment for me.

My Journey
Steve and I envisioned and created our Authors Who Lead program together, and we both know that it’s definitely a journey writing a book. Our methods are a bit nontraditional but yield transformative results in both the author’s lives and their books. In this interview, Steve asks me about going through this process that we’ve created together, as an author myself this time.
