[Segment 1: Introduction to Aurora Winter]
Audrey: We’re back with Aurora Winter. She’s a popular media guest, featured on ABC, CBS, KTLA, Huffington Post, Elle Magazine, Oprah Radio, and the Rebel Author Podcast. Aurora, welcome to Business Chop!
Aurora: Thank you, Audrey! I’m excited to be here and share some valuable insights with your audience.
Audrey: Before we dive into the main topics, I want to touch on something fun. In your background info, you mentioned recently pivoting your entrepreneurial success to fulfill a childhood dream—writing a fantasy series! Tell us more about that.
Aurora: Absolutely. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I realized I had a lifelong dream I hadn’t pursued: writing a fantasy series. So, I started Magic Mystery and the Multiverse. The first book won the Reader's Choice Award for Best Book for Teens, and the second book, The Secret Multiverse Academy, recently won a gold award from Literary Titan. The third book is coming out in 2025. I wanted to encourage lifelong reading, which has been transformative for me.
Audrey: That’s amazing! And speaking of books, Turn Words into Wealth is packed with strategies for authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. What inspired you to write it?
Aurora: I noticed many people spent years writing a book but failed to maximize its potential. They didn’t test their titles, covers, or marketing strategies. Worse, they had no plan to turn their book into a business. Turn Words into Wealth includes seven monetization strategies to help authors generate revenue, whether through speaking, coaching, consulting, or even TV deals.
[Segment 2: The Power of Words and Storytelling]
Audrey: That leads me to my next question. Do words really matter? And if so, how?
Aurora: Absolutely! Words are powerful. I’ve built multiple businesses in different industries, from coaching and training to selling sailboats, film and television production, and now publishing. The common thread? Storytelling. Or, as I like to call it, storyselling.
A great example of this is Steve Jobs. He spent three weeks perfecting every Apple product launch presentation. His words triggered buying frenzies and built one of the most successful companies in the world.
There was also an experiment reported in Significant Objects. Researchers listed ordinary objects on eBay, some with a story and some without. The items with a story sold for 2,700% more than those without. That’s the power of storytelling!
Audrey: Wow! That’s incredible. So, for thought leaders, why is becoming an author so important?
Aurora: Amazon is the third-largest search engine in the world. If you have expertise but no book, you’re missing out on a huge audience. A book also establishes credibility and helps you reach more people. Plus, it opens doors to speaking opportunities, coaching clients, and media appearances.
[Segment 3: The Neuroscience of Communication]
Audrey: Let’s talk about the neuroscience behind communication. What are some common mistakes people make?
Aurora: The biggest mistake? Thinking that the message sent is the message received. College trains us to communicate like Excel spreadsheets—just facts. But that’s not how the brain processes information.
The brain filters messages in three steps:
- What? Is this interesting?
- Who? Who else thinks this is important? (Social proof)
- Wow! Is there something engaging or surprising?
A great book title, a compelling hook, or a powerful testimonial, taps into these filters and grabs attention.
[Segment 4: Monetizing Your Message]
Audrey: That brings me to multiple streams of income. How can authors and entrepreneurs turn their words into wealth?
Aurora: There are seven proven ways to monetize a book. Here are a few:
- Public speaking: Paid keynote speakers can earn six figures per speech.
- Coaching & consulting: A book builds trust and credibility, attracting high-ticket clients.
- Courses & memberships: Transform your expertise into a program.
- TV & media deals: Books like Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up led to a Netflix show and a certification program.
There are many possibilities if you structure your book and brand correctly.
[Closing: How to Connect with Aurora]

Audrey: Fantastic! Chop Squad, you know what to do. Aurora, before we go, can you leave us with one final nugget of wisdom?
Aurora: I love this quote from the Gospel of Thomas: "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
Whatever is inside you—whether it’s a book, a business, or an idea—bring it out into the world. That’s how you make an impact.
Audrey: Wow, what a powerful way to end the show! Thank you, Aurora, for sharing your wisdom with us today.
