A working session for anyone still employed full-time who is trying to turn deep expertise into something clients pay for directly. I left a salary for this and it took two years longer than I told…
Two of my last three speaking gigs came with a sponsor attached, and both times the money showed up late enough that I was covering flights on my own card. I keep saying yes because it fills the ca…
For six weeks I'd been sending my full consulting playbook free to a list of 400 HR directors. Open rate was fine, signups for the paid tier almost zero. So this month I cut the public version to t…
I've got paying clients and a waiting list I can't serve, which is a good problem I'm tired of pretending is good. What's actually stopping me is onboarding — every new client gets a bespoke 90-min…

Churn answers keep pointing at the same gap: a new reader can't see what they're buying. I asked my list what evidence they'd want before paying, and 20 of them replied. I built the ugly version of…
