  • E2A 103: Writing a Field Guide for Generalists with Siobhan O'Riordan

    E2A 103: Writing a Field Guide for Generalists with Siobhan O'Riordan
    Dec 2 2025
    In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan welcomes Siobhan O’Riordan, coach, advisor, and lifelong generalist to discuss her book Reframe: How Generalists Thrive in a Changing World. Drawing on her nonlinear career and client work, she unpacks the “generalist’s dilemma” of being essential yet often unseen and misunderstood. In Reframe, she offers a functional definition of a generalist built around ranging curiosity, creative connections, and context, giving generalists the language and framework they’ve lacked so they can better understand their strengths, articulate their value, and intentionally design careers that fit them.

    She also reflects on the writing journey behind the book, noting that long-form writing is a very different discipline from day-to-day writing. The process forced her to clarify her thinking, decide what truly served the reader, and turn years of experience into a focused, practical guide. With the help of structure, a clear curriculum, and a supportive writing community, she completed a book that argues generalists are increasingly vital in a changing world—able to experiment, test, and take risks in ways specialists often can’t.

    Nov 18 2025
    In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan sits down with Chris Harrop, former Senior Partner at Bain & Company with over three decades of experience helping leaders solve complex business problems. Chris shares the challenge of translating a lifetime of hands-on expertise into clear, accessible guidance and reflects on what it really takes to solve hard, never-before-seen problems. His book, The Problem Solver’s Playbook, teaches readers to “tame” problems by narrowing scope, digging to the root cause, and navigating the messy realities of stakeholder alignment and execution. As business challenges grow increasingly dynamic—accelerated by AI—Chris underscores why strong, foundational problem-solving skills have never been more important.

  • E2A 101: The Power of Creating a Framework and Consistent Writing with Scott MacMillan

    E2A 101: The Power of Creating a Framework and Consistent Writing with Scott MacMillan
    Sep 9 2025
    In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan unpacks a common challenge: expertise, on its own, isn’t enough. Without a clear and consistent framework, even the deepest insights can be overlooked. Scott explores why frameworks matter, how they turn scattered ideas into memorable and shareable models, and the five qualities that make intellectual property truly powerful.

    You’ll also learn a simple process for shaping your knowledge into a proprietary methodology you can apply consistently across books, keynotes, and client work. If you want to move from being an invisible expert to an influential thought leader, this episode will help you build a framework that elevates your authority and amplifies your message.
