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.

The Museum Test: Will Your Expertise Survive You?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Walk through any museum, and you'll notice something. The people who created the exhibits are long gone, yet they're still teaching us. They left evidence of how they thought.
In this episode, Kevin applies the same test to professional expertise. Why does so much accumulated knowledge quietly disappear when careers end? Why do experienced professionals believe they have nothing to write about while standing inside a library they've never catalogued?
Kevin explores why only documented thinking survives, why curation matters more than volume, and why preserved knowledge starts paying long before it becomes legacy. He closes with the practical first steps: capture what you repeat, find the structure inside it, and give it a name.
The question this episode leaves you with is a big one. What part of your professional life deserves preserving?
