Teasers

“What is it that I want to be known for? And how does this, maybe even more importantly, how does this tie to my business?”

“I'm not very patient. And once I get an idea, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to implement. I'm ready to do it. That has served me really well in many ways and also can really keep me from doing my best work, honestly.”

“Just because you think you're not an official writer doesn't mean that you can't get a traditionally published book.”

“I probably walked 30 to 40 miles in total when I was in Puerto Rico and I got a whole new idea of a way to shape and structure the book. It makes so much more sense and is going to reach a much wider audience.”
