    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.

With support from Scott and his team, they stayed on track and pushed through the endless cycle of revisions to arrive at a book that equips AEC executives to navigate AI transformation.
