Today is all about how I learned to protect my authenticity and trust my own process—and the story starts in my own neighborhood.

To kick off this series, I want to take you back to the night that changed everything for me when it came to writing this book.

Near the end of this post, I have a really special announcement that has been the hardest secret to keep from you, and today is the day I get to share it.

So many—if not all—of our challenges can be solved with love.

The movie theater was the last place on Earth I expected to get some kind of clarity on my relationship with AI, but that’s what happened.

I believe it’s one of the secrets to maintaining trust.

Even when you know that something is important to you, it can be surprisingly easy to put it at the bottom of your list of priorities.

Every second I get to spend with my parents is precious, especially as they get older, so we plan visits as often as we can.

What I found most surprising about the experience is how the work I do in leadership, especially around courageous conversations, played a part.

I want to share what I learned about navigating an intense creative season this way and how I made intentional tradeoffs to protect that time for myself without guilt.

I’ve learned that the key to dealing with uncertainty is to turn my focus inward. After all, the only thing we can really control is ourselves, so that’s always where I start.

I thought I’d share with you what I told my friend in case you, too, are struggling with rejection or have struggled with it before.

It’s shocking to me it’s not well-known in the leadership space because it’s been so huge for us.

When you take the time to ask yourself these questions, the answers can help you see whether these things still serve you or if they need to evolve.

Gary’s message and the stories he shared helped me see my journey as an entrepreneur in a totally new light.

I’ve learned that hustling isn’t the only way to success—and in fact, if you’re not careful, hustling too hard can hinder you.

The people who have the courage to keep trying after they mess up are usually the most successful in the end. But, of course, that’s easier said than done.

I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I knew the situation was out of my control.
