This episode is for anyone who's been thinking about writing a book especially if you're an entrepreneur, coach, or consultant who wants to build your authority and influence.

Nina sits down with Heidi van't Riet, a book-writing coach who works with business leaders to turn their expertise into published books. They have an honest conversation about why writing a book is still one of the best ways to build credibility in business and more importantly, how to actually finish one, even when you're convinced you don't have time, can't write, or haven't got a clue where to start.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

▪️ Why being a "good writer" is the least important part of creating a meaningful book

▪️ The simple framework that transforms overwhelm into a clear roadmap

▪️ What type of book makes sense for your goals (hint: it's probably not what you think)

▪️ Who you actually need on your team to make this happen

▪️ Your publishing options explained without the industry jargon

▪️ What really happens before and after launch (because the book is just the beginning)

▪️ How your book can become a genuine revenue stream

If you've been sitting on the idea of writing a book to grow your leadership presence, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.

Is the old mantra of "sacrificing everything for your career" actually working anymore? Or is it a fast track to burnout and emptiness, even if you succeed?

In this episode of the Mastervision® Podcast, I speak with Lucie Lachaux. By 26, she was a CFO with everything she was supposed to want. Yet she felt utterly empty.

Her story sparks a powerful conversation about understanding who you truly are, what you genuinely need, and how to build a career that feels meaningful, not just successful on paper.

We explore the Gen Z shift: a generation questioning traditional leadership, prioritising mental health, and offering a fresh perspective on how we all think about work–life integration.

If you're building a career and a life you actually want to live, not one you think you should wish for, you will definitely love this conversation! Enjoy 🙂

In this episode, I'm talking with Michael Belton, the CEO of MERED Real Estate Development. Michael's path is a fascinating one: from Alaska to Russia, and finally to the GCC. With over three decades of experience in global real estate, he's managed a staggering $5B in assets across the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

We get into what leadership truly means in a region of over 200 nationalities, constant change, and AI on the rise. Michael reminds us that real estate has never been just about buildings, it’s always been about people. We discuss why, even as bots start to close deals, timeless skills like curiosity and emotional intelligence are what still set the best leaders apart. Michael also shares the qualities he believes AI can never replicate: human trust, clear vision, and the genuine ability to support and inspire.

This conversation is full of lessons on how to lead in a fast-changing world and why, no matter how advanced technology becomes, human leadership still wins.
