That realization became the foundation of this book. Not a 200-page explanation, but a simple tool: one chapter on the mechanism, and 52 weekly questions designed to help readers practice interruption in real life. In this conversation on The Author's Voice with KAJ, Doug shares how rebuilding his life from addiction and business collapse led him to this insight, why simple ideas are often overlooked, and how better questions can quietly reshape a life over time. Join us to discover how one question a week can spark immediate change.Explore the stories behind the stories at https://kajmasterclass.com.=========================================*Guest*Doug Fleener is the author of Start With What If: 52 Weekly Questions to Spark Immediate Change and Growth.
