“How to Build a Book That Grows Your Company”

A live session from Charlie Hoehn on how a book is built so it grows the company instead of the author’s ego. Geoff Woods is the case, your members leave with the frameworks, and the only pitch is one honest sentence about what we do.

What he covers
01

Why most executive books die as a PDF nobody finishes

02

How Geoff went from about 2,000 followers to $10 million and a Tony Robbins open

03

The difference between a book that sells copies and a book that sells the company

04

A simple filter your members can use before they spend a year on the wrong book

What he won’t do
01

Pitch from the stage

02

Ask your members to buy anything in the room

03

Treat every person in the room as a future author

How the book gets written

They talk. We build the book in their voice.

01

Talking points first

Chapter talking points, mapped with a Book Director.

02

Two days in Austin

They talk for two days, in Austin or remote. That produces every word we need.

03

Their voice on the page

Zero AI-generated content. The process won Zapier’s AI Innovator of the Year.

The full process is on the how-it-works page.

One author

From 2,000 followers to opening for Tony Robbins.

Geoff Woods started with an audience of about 2,000 LinkedIn followers. We built The AI-Driven Leader with him. First draft in 39 days. Published in five months. The book hit #1 in AI, sold 100,000 copies in year one, set $10 million of new business in motion, and doubled his keynote fee. Then Tony Robbins asked him to open.
