The Mind Of George Show

Stop Trying to Be Impressive. Start Being Impactful with Robin Colucci

Episode Notes

You don’t need to write a book.

But if there’s one you can’t not write — that’s the one the world needs.

In this episode, George sits down with Robin Colucci, a premier book-writing coach who’s helped thought leaders, CEOs, astronauts, and Nobel laureates turn their ideas into industry-shifting books. But this conversation isn’t about hitting the bestseller list — it’s about the inner book: the one that’s been simmering inside you, waiting to come out.

Whether you dream of publishing or have no desire to write a book at all, this episode will change how you think about clarity, courage, and contribution. It’s not about writing a book — it’s about becoming the version of you who could.
