Dream come true! I am a published author!

A dream that took WORK. Months of research and writing to be specific.

The author copies of my very first book, "The Martech Handbook" have arrived! And they are beautiful.

Your iPhone is dying by 2 PM every day.

It's not the battery.

It's 14 settings Apple turned ON by default that are silently draining it in the background.

I changed all of them and gained 4+ hours of daily battery life.

Steal them

If you get surprised by a layoff:

- Leave graciously
- Negotiate your package
- Slow down your burn rate
- Allow yourself time to reflect
- Build a systematic search process
- Take the epic trip you've been putting off

Use action to relieve your anxiety.
