What Writing This Book Took Out of Me
People often ask what it was like to write Doing What You Know.

I had to face the gap between what I knew and what I was actually doing.
And that meant pulling back the curtain on years of starts and stops, fear and self-sabotage, breakthroughs and breakdowns.

Finishing it was.

Finishing this book meant owning the message —
Even when I still had to live it.

That’s what I tried to bring to every page of this book.
And if you’re ready for that kind of honesty in your own life,
