Michael Zipursky is the co-founder of Consulting Success, a coaching business that turns over multiple seven figures by helping consultants build and grow their own consulting firms.
The business is driven by publishing insight. They have a weekly newsletter with more than 45,000 subscribers, a podcast with more than 400 episodes, and several books.
Some time ago, a listener said to me, "All these authorities you study went to a prestigious university, or have Google or Apple on their CV. I don't have that. Is it even possible for someone like me, without an impressive CV, to become an authority?"
Michael Zipursky had none of that. No elite degree or famous employer. He’s not even had a proper job.
So, when you have none of the traditional credentials associated with being an authority, how do you become one?
That's the story I'm telling in Episode 13 of Undisputed Authority.

About Liam Curley
Liam Curley works with leaders who sell their expertise, helping them articulate the insights that get them recognised as authorities in their field.
What is Undisputed Authority?
How does an invisible expert become an Undisputed Authority?
Each episode tells the story of how one expert became THE voice in their field.
It's a deep investigation into how they developed insight, packaged IP, gathered a community, and built their business model.
I read their books and articles, watch their keynotes, and listen to their podcasts to find the threads.
Then we sit down for a conversation to fill in the gaps.
This is not your standard interview style podcast.
It's a narrative built from dozens of sources that reveal the real story of how they built business.
I'm gathering strategies and patterns that you can apply to your expertise-driven business.
