I’m closing the chapter on The Coloring Book Creator and stepping into something bigger. In this kickoff episode of the Published Creator Podcast, I share the turning point that sparked this shift and how you can take your book beyond the pages to build a thriving brand, business, and legacy.
Welcome to the very first episode of the Published Creator!
I’m Rodney Washington, and I’m thrilled to share this space with you. This podcast is here for authors, creators, and entrepreneurs who want to go beyond publishing a book and instead build experiences, communities, and thriving businesses around their ideas.
Turning the Page: From Coloring Book Creator to a New Beginning
For three years, The Coloring Book Creator has been my platform to help aspiring authors bring their ideas to life. But as I’ve worked with more creators, I realized the journey doesn’t stop at the book.
The real opportunity lies in how you take that book and expand it into something bigger, coaching, courses, memberships, retreats, and even licensing opportunities.
This is the heartbeat of becoming a Published & Thriving author creator.
Why Books Are Just the Beginning
A book is powerful, but it’s not the finish line. Think of it as your business card on steroids; it opens doors, creates opportunities, and builds credibility. But if you stop at book sales, you’re leaving so much potential on the table. In this episode, I share how to reframe your book as the foundation of a much larger ecosystem.
Closing Thoughts
Thank you for joining me for this first episode of the Published Creator podcast.
As I close the chapter on The Coloring Book Creator and step into this new season, I invite you to come along for the journey.
Together, we’ll explore how to turn your book into more than just pages; we’ll turn it into a thriving brand, a business, and a legacy.
