## Resource

This episode is a special preview from my upcoming book, Rewrite Your Rules , dropping April 1st. I'm reading a raw, honest excerpt from Chapter Nine: "Be the Rough Draft: A Better Relationship With Fear." In it, I share what it really looked like behind the scenes during one of the most pivotal—and fear-inducing—moments of my career: acquiring Travel Noire. We're talking investor calls, operational landmines, war rooms, and leading through uncertainty while keeping the bigger vision alive. This isn't just a story about business—this is about choosing courage over comfort, strategy over panic, and innovation over fear. Thank you to everyone who's already pre-ordered. You're not just supporting me—you're helping signal to the marketplace that this is a book that matters. And if you haven't yet, head to wherever you buy books—Amazon, Barnes & Noble, your local indie—and get your copy in. This episode is for the entrepreneurs, the career pivoters, the side-hustlers, and the everyday leaders navigating uncertainty. Remember: success favors those who rewrite the rules.
