We’ve all been told “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but the truth is—people do. And if books didn’t need covers, why do they have them? Your “cover” represents you before people ever read your story, and in today’s episode, we’re talking about how to make sure it tells the right story.

🔹 What does your cover say about you?

🔹 Do you like it? Can you change it?

🔹 How do we handle the covers of other people’s books?

🔹 What do we do when our cover isn’t what we want it to be?

Your book is still being written, but the cover matters. Let’s make sure it reflects the best version of you.

If you hate high school, you’re probably doing it wrong. In this episode, we dive deep into why high school isn’t just a place to survive—it’s a cheat code for life when you know how to play the game. I’m talking directly to all the students who feel burnt out, uninspired, or like high school just isn’t working for them. I’ll show you how to flip the script, take advantage of being surrounded by so many people every day, and unlock opportunities you never even knew existed.

We’ll explore the power of side missions—like making new friends, building networks, and creating unforgettable experiences—and how to mine for the hidden gold, diamonds, and rubies that are waiting in your high school hallways. Don’t miss out on what could be one of the most valuable seasons of your life!
