Department Overview
There are entrepreneurs who have a book inside them. There are entrepreneurs who belong on a stage. There are entrepreneurs whose voice and ideas belong in people's ears on their morning commute. Most successful entrepreneurs eventually become all three. This department is built for every version of that journey.
Author, Speaker, Podcaster is structured as three distinct tracks within one department. You can pursue one, two, or all three. Each track is led by someone who has done exactly what they are teaching -- not studied it, not theorized about it, but built a real platform through it and generated real revenue as a result.
Whether your goal is to write and publish a book that becomes a business asset, get booked on stages that open doors for your other work, or launch a podcast that builds an audience that trusts you -- this department has a path for you.
This department is currently in development and will launch in September 2026. Register your interest below to be notified when enrollment opens.
Three Tracks
Each track within this department is a complete program of study in its own right. You may enroll in one, two, or all three. Each earns its own QBS certification upon completion.

The Author track is led by Emmy Dunn, founder of Narrative Shift Pathway Studio. Emmy has guided entrepreneurs through the book writing and publishing process and brings the full weight of her publishing and platform-building experience to this track.
The Podcaster track is co-led by Emmy Dunn and Alisa Cooper through The Quantum Business School. Alisa hosts a weekly show through Quantum Broadcast Media and brings nearly four decades of storytelling, entrepreneurship, and audience-building to the podcast curriculum. Bi-monthly shows with Trent on financial topics and regular guest appearances from QBS faculty and notable entrepreneurs are part of the broader Quantum Broadcast Media ecosystem that this track draws from.
The Speaker track department head will be announced prior to the September 2026 launch. They will be selected specifically for the art of speaking -- someone who loves the stage, has commanded many of them, and knows exactly how to help an entrepreneur find their own power in front of an audience.
"Every entrepreneur has a story worth telling. The question is whether you are willing to tell it -- in print, on a stage, and in people's ears."
