Your Story Is Sitting There Doing Absolutely Nothing

You’ve got wisdom that could help people skip the mistakes, dodge the pitfalls, and get to the good stuff faster. But instead of sharing it, you’re overthinking it to death.

I’m the guy who gets your story out of your head and onto pages that actually matter. And after writing 60+ of my own books and ghostwriting 50+ more, I’ve gotten pretty damn good at it.

The Real Deal About Stories That Work

Here’s what I learned after watching my LinkedIn book sell fifteen thousand copies in three days: people don’t want your perfect version. They want your real version. The one where you admit you screwed up seventeen times before you figured it out.

That book hit number forty-three on all Kindle sales not because I’m brilliant, but because I told the truth about how LinkedIn actually works instead of regurgitating the same tired advice everyone else was peddling. Publishers in seven countries translated it because authenticity sells everywhere.

When Your Book Actually Changes Everything

Last year, a Fortune 50 executive called me desperate. He’d been overlooked for promotion after promotion despite running massive digital transformations. Smart guy, but invisible. Twelve months after we finished his book, he’d secured thirty million in venture capital and transformed from forgotten middle manager to industry visionary.

Another client, a Canadian tech entrepreneur, needed more than a resume to break into new markets. Six months after his book launched, he was giving a TEDx talk and fielding international partnership offers. A Web3 strategist I worked with just landed a traditional publishing deal because publishers recognized him as the authority in an emerging field.

These aren’t lucky breaks. This is what happens when you stop hiding your expertise and start sharing it strategically.

Why I Actually Know What I’m Talking About

Twenty years running operations for Trader Joe’s taught me something most ghostwriters never learn: behind every business problem is a human story. I managed sixteen billion in operations and thirty-eight thousand employees, which meant I spent two decades turning “everything’s broken” into “here’s how we fix it.”

Every system crash was someone’s worst day. Every solution had to work immediately because millions of dollars hung in the balance. Sound familiar? That’s exactly what ghostwriting is—taking someone’s chaos and making it make sense under pressure.

Professor Richard Makadok at Purdue uses my consulting book as required reading because it actually works in the real world. Students consistently rate my guest lectures as their semester highlight, not because I’m entertaining, but because I’ve lived what I teach. KnowBe4 hired me to update their cybersecurity book because I have thirty-five years of hands-on experience, not because I read about it somewhere.

What Separates Me From Every Other Writer

Most ghostwriters come from journalism or English backgrounds. Beautiful writers, but they speak fluent liberal arts. I speak fluent breakdown and fluent breakthrough. I’ve managed billion-dollar crises and guided people through personal disasters. I understand systems and I understand humans.

When a biotech CEO needs someone who gets both technical accuracy and emotional storytelling, they don’t call a former magazine editor. When a transformation coach needs someone who understands both business strategy and human psychology, they don’t hire someone fresh out of journalism school.

I’ve appeared on fifty-five podcasts including The Chris Voss Show with over a million listeners, not because I’m a great talker, but because I have stories that actually help people. My photography portfolio contains nearly a million images from events across the country because I understand visual storytelling, which makes my written narratives stronger.

Here’s What Actually Happens

Your insights are gathering dust while people struggle with problems you’ve already solved. Your hard-won wisdom is helping exactly one person—you—when it could be transforming hundreds of lives and careers.

Remember that Fortune 50 executive? He’s not just successful now—he’s helping other overlooked managers become visible leaders. The tech entrepreneur isn’t just growing his business—he’s inspiring other founders to think bigger. Their stories didn’t just change their lives. They’re changing other people’s lives too.

That’s not inspiration porn. That’s what happens when you stop hoarding your wisdom and start sharing it with people who need exactly what you’ve learned.

Ready to Stop Sitting on Your Story?

Your breakthrough is someone else’s shortcut. Your hard-won experience is someone else’s roadmap. Your story could be the thing that finally helps someone else figure it out.

But only if you actually tell it.
