Living in western Wyoming, he has built a creative practice shaped by relationships rather than formal training or traditional literary expectations. He explains how writing retreats, shared poems, and lasting connections with other writers have helped him grow as a poet.The conversation also explores Red State, a collection that examines what it means to love a place while questioning its political and environmental direction. Matt discusses the tension between personal values and collective decisions, as well as the ways poetry can help readers understand experiences that may be different from their own.Matt also shares the meaning behind one of his poems, which moves from large ideas about geography, climate, and environmental change toward the deeply personal experience of sitting with someone who had died. He explains how simply being present can become a powerful act of bearing witness.The conversation also explores Matt’s writing process and why he does not focus heavily on the financial value of poetry. Instead, he values the freedom to explore ideas, share poems, and create meaningful connections with readers.Matt also talks about his work with Jackson Hole Writers, an organization focused on helping writers connect through conferences, workshops, classes, manuscript critiques, and other community programs.Key Takeaways:✍️ A writing life can be built through relationships, not only through formal education or literary credentials.🤝 Writing communities can provide inspiration, support, and meaningful connections across geographic distances.🌎 Poetry can help readers understand different places, perspectives, and experiences.🔥 Red State explores the tension between loving a place and questioning the changes happening there.🕯️ Being present and bearing witness can be powerful responses to difficult personal and collective experiences.📝 Writing without focusing only on market value can create more freedom to explore meaningful ideas.📚 Speaking, writing, and community-building can lead to new opportunities and ways to reach readers.🌱 Writers should continue developing their skills while also making time for relationships.👥 Literary organizations can help writers connect with one another and better understand the writing and publishing process.Matt’s story reminds us that the writing life is not about waiting for permission.

Jake Knox on Finding Your Inner Fire, Writing in Your Own Voice, and Building What Lasts
In this episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast, Danielle Hutchinson speaks with Jake Knox, author of Oak Logs and Gasoline: The Fire Inside, about purpose, identity, self-talk, slow growth, and the writing journey behind his first book.Jake explains how the book began with late-night conversations and drives with his sons. These conversations became a collection of notes, quotes, and lessons that eventually grew into a book. His son Josh encouraged him to gather those ideas together, helping Jake turn years of mentoring and storytelling into a message that could reach more people.At the center of the book is a parable about two men and the way they build their fires. One relies on quick, flashy bursts of gasoline, while the other uses oak logs to create a steady fire that keeps his home warm. Jake uses this story to explore how we fuel our lives and whether we are choosing short-term excitement or consistent actions that create lasting results.Key Takeaways:🔥 Consider what you are using to fuel your inner fire.🌳 Focus on steady habits instead of quick fixes that create more problems later.🗣️ Pay attention to how you speak to yourself, and practice using the same encouragement you would give a close friend.✍️ Write in your own voice instead of trying to sound like another author or speaker.⏳ Give your message time to develop before rushing it into the world.📖 Let your writing process change as your ideas become clearer.🤝 Surround yourself with people who encourage you, challenge you, and help you stay accountable.Jake also shares the challenges of publishing his first book, the importance of finding his natural writing flow, and his plans for future projects, including another volume of Oak Logs and Gasoline and a companion book about tending the fires of love in a relationship.This conversation is a reminder that you do not have to sound like anyone else to share something meaningful. Start with your own experience, find your voice, and keep building what lasts.Connect with Jake Knox:Website: Oak Logs and GasolineHis book is available in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audiobook formats through Amazon.Listen and follow the Authority On Demand Podcast:YouTube: Authority On Demand on YouTubeFacebook: Authority On Demand on FacebookInstagram: Authority On Demand on InstagramLinkedIn: Authority On Demand on LinkedInPodcast: Authority On Demand Podcast#AuthorityOnDemand #AuthorsOnMission #JakeKnox #OakLogsAndGasoline #PersonalGrowth #PurposeAndPassion #SelfTalk #SlowGrowth #WritingJourney #AuthorJourney #PodcastInterview

Dena Yohe on You Are Not Alone, Strength for the Brokenhearted, and Turning Pain Into Purpose
In this episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast, formerly Authors On Mission Podcast, hosted by Danielle Hutchinson, Dena Yohe shares the personal journey that led her to become an author and ministry founder.Dena never planned to write a book. Her writing journey began when she started sending short emails to parents who were facing challenges similar to those her family had experienced. Over time, those messages grew into a blog, a writing group, and eventually her first book, You Are Not Alone.Dena opens up about her family’s experience with a child’s self-injury, mental illness, addiction, and recovery. She also discusses the grief, guilt, shame, and isolation that parents can experience when their child is struggling. Rather than focusing on a step-by-step solution, her books offer hope, validation, faith, and encouragement for parents who are trying to find their way through difficult circumstances.She also introduces Strength for the Brokenhearted, a short devotional designed to offer encouragement through scripture, reflection, and prayer. The book was created from messages she had already written for the Hope for Hurting Parents email community, showing how existing content can grow into a meaningful book when it meets a real need.Dena and her husband also created a facilitator guide and parent notebook to help others start support groups. Their work has expanded from a support group in their home to groups in different parts of the country and around the world.Throughout the conversation, Dena also shares valuable writing advice. She explains why new writers should simply begin, avoid judging their early work, and find a supportive writing community that can offer encouragement and constructive feedback.Key Takeaways:💛 Personal pain can become a source of hope and support for others.🙏 Healing does not always come from having all the answers. Sometimes it begins with faith, encouragement, and taking one step at a time.📖 A book can grow from emails, blog posts, or other content that already helps people.🌱 There is no simple formula for navigating addiction, mental illness, grief, or estrangement.🤝 Support groups can help people feel less alone and provide a safe place to process difficult experiences.✍️ New writers should start writing without judging themselves too early.📝 Constructive feedback and encouragement can help writers improve and keep going.🌳 Strong roots, growth, and resilience are powerful reminders that difficult seasons do not have to define the rest of our lives.Dena’s story shows how writing can become more than a creative project. It can become a way to serve others, share hope, and create resources for people who feel alone. Her message is simple but powerful: keep learning, keep writing, and do not be afraid to ask for support along the way.Connect with Dena Yohe:Website: Hope for Hurting ParentsBooks: You Are Not Alone, Strength for the Brokenhearted, and other resources are available through her website.Writing community: Word WeaversFollow the Authority On Demand Podcast:YouTube: Authority On Demand on YouTubeFacebook: Authority On Demand on FacebookInstagram: Authority On Demand on InstagramLinkedIn: Authority On Demand on LinkedInCaptivate: Authority On Demand Podcast#AuthorityOnDemand #AuthorsOnMission #DenaYohe #HopeForHurtingParents #YouAreNotAlone #StrengthForTheBrokenhearted #FaithAndHope #WritingTips #AuthorJourney #PodcastInterview #TurningPainIntoPurpose

Constance Lewis on Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings, Emotional Expression, and Writing for Children
In this episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast, formerly Authors On Mission Podcast, hosted by Danielle Hutchinson, Constance Lewis shares the story behind her children’s books and the personal experiences that inspired her to write them.Constance explains how she never originally planned to become an author. After contributing chapters to adult books about infertility and postpartum experiences, she had a dream that inspired her to write a children’s book. The idea for Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings came to her during meditation, and she wrote the first version in one night.The book was inspired by her son Miles, who experienced epilepsy. Constance wanted to create a way for children to communicate their feelings when they could not find the right words. Through colorful capes and tutus, children can show how they feel without having to explain everything verbally.Constance also discusses her collaboration with her husband, Andre, who helped develop the rhyming elements of the book. Together, they worked to make sure the language was simple enough for children between the ages of four and eight, while still keeping the story engaging and meaningful.The conversation also explores why emotions such as anger and sadness should not be treated as bad. Constance explains that the emotion itself is natural. What matters is helping children find healthy ways to express and process it. Parents can use simple tools such as crayons, pencils, paper, or color charts to help children communicate what is happening inside.Constance also shares what she learned while searching for an illustrator. She reviewed many portfolios, compared styles and pricing, and made sure she would have full ownership of the characters and images in the book. She also talks about working with a publishing coach and choosing self-publishing based on her family’s needs and goals.As she continues developing more children’s books, Constance is also exploring stories about different age groups, big emotions, parenting, and the reasons behind the way parents sometimes act.Key Takeaways:🎨 Colors can help children express emotions when words are difficult to find.💛 Every emotion matters, including anger, sadness, fear, and frustration.🧠 Children need healthy ways to process emotions instead of being told to simply get over them.📚 Writing for children requires simple language that matches their age and literacy level.✍️ A book can begin with one idea, dream, or personal experience.🤝 Collaboration can help strengthen a story and bring different skills into the writing process.🖼️ Authors should carefully review an illustrator’s style, pricing, timeline, and ownership terms.📖 Publishing decisions should be based on the author’s goals, resources, and long-term plans.🌱 Writers should not wait for perfection before releasing their work.👨👩👧👦 Children’s books can support not only young readers but also parents, teachers, and caregivers.Constance’s journey shows how a personal experience can become a creative tool that helps others. Her message is a reminder that children deserve the freedom to feel their emotions and the support to understand them. It also encourages authors to keep writing, seek help when needed, and allow their work to be imperfectly perfect.Connect with Constance Lewis:Website: Colorful Capes of FeelingsInstagram: @colorful.books_colorfulfeelingsbooksBooks: Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings and Mariah and the Colorful Tutus of FeelingsResources: Free teacher lesson plans, coloring pages, parent resources, and teacher resources are available on her website.Follow the Authority On Demand Podcast:YouTube: Authority On Demand on YouTubeFacebook: Authority On Demand on FacebookInstagram: Authority On Demand on InstagramLinkedIn: Authority On Demand on LinkedInCaptivate: Authority On Demand Podcast#AuthorityOnDem
