Episode: 3Title: When the Book Isn’t the Problem

In this episode:I reflect on how books often do their job long before authors recognize it. Rather than being failures, many books function as credibility anchors, filters, and bridges—clarifying who your work is for and what it naturally leads to.

You’ll hear about:– Books as credibility anchors– Why books are naturally self-selective– Using a book to filter alignment, not convince everyone– The difference between performance and expectation– Why disappointment often points to a misassigned role

From the episode:“When a book feels disappointing, it’s often not because it failed—but because it was only the beginning.”

Episode: 2Title: The Accidental Entrepreneur

In this episode:I share how my first book gradually turned into a business. Not through strategy or intention, but through attention. Over time, the books I wrote became the foundation of my work, fitting together in a coherent way I didn’t fully recognize until much later.

You’ll hear about:– Writing without a business plan– Why coherence across books matters more than novelty– Staying on a clear path instead of chasing new directions– How books can quietly become the business itself

From the episode:“The books weren’t ever separate from the business. They were the business.”

Episode: 1Title: Origin Story — An Unlikely Author

In this episode:I share how becoming an author had nothing to do with loving reading—and everything to do with needing clarity. From growing up dyslexic to using books as tools rather than trophies, this episode sets the foundation for how I think about authorship and business.

You’ll hear about:– Why reading has always been work for me– Loving what books do without loving the act of reading– Writing as a tool for clarity, not expression– Why friction in the process doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong

From the episode:“I didn’t become an author by loving books. I became one by needing clarity.”
