ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let’s flip the script.
In this episode, my publisher (and friend) Sherry Ward takes the mic and interviews me about the behind-the-scenes process of writing Million Dollar Grit.
We talk about why this book was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, what it took to merge memoir with business strategy, and why I refused to move on to another project until I closed this loop. You’ll hear how my first (regretted) memoir shaped this one, what finally broke my writing resistance, and the healing that came through finishing it.
We also talk about editors, AI, imposter fears, and what I really want readers to feel when they close the last page. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book—or wondered what it takes to turn your life into lessons that actually help people—this one’s for you.

I just wrapped the first in-person AI & Sheep workshop at my farm, and I couldn't let these takeaways leave my brain before I got them on record. The truth is, most people are losing ground to AI, not gaining it — they're in the dopamine pool, working longer, building more, and not seeing a sin…
The worst business advice you'll ever take won't come from a troll — it'll come from someone you hired, polished and confident and completely wrong. In this episode I get into why the things that actually harm your business never look harmful (the cop with the badge still has a gun), why I tell my …
There's exactly one wrong move in business, and it isn't picking the wrong name, launching the wrong offer, or running the wrong marketing strategy — it's doing nothing, and in this episode I make the case that a messy, half-baked, even wrong attempt will always work in your favor over the perfect …
I recorded this one from my car — a little hat tip to Russell Brunson, who taught me that "in the car" beats "not at all" — because I had something I couldn't wait to break down: the launch my client Jessie Gene just ran on Instagram, and what it actually teaches the rest of us. I met Jessie back i…
This is a candid conversation with friend, client, and business partner Aryeh Sheinbein. I have two real-time negotiations on my desk right now (a post-divorce mortgage refinance the bank told me had only one path, and a $10K non-refundable sheep deposit I'd already mentally written off), and partl…
