We don’t get a heads-up for the moments that change everything. No countdown. No perfect timing. Just… life, happening. This story starts with a forgotten sign from my early career and ends with a reminder about how we choose to live before things unexpectedly change.
FN2: The Lie of “When Things Settle Down”

Think Big. Start Small. Act Quickly.
Most big projects, businesses, and life changes don’t happen because of perfect planning – they happen because someone thought big, started small, and acted quickly. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or waiting for the right time, this simple framework might be exactly what you need to get moving.
Thanks, Rae.
Sometimes the people closest to us see what we can’t. Rae helped me realize I’d been talking about “Get Sh*t Done”… without actually doing the thing that mattered most… actually GSDing!
I Thought I Was Restless.
My career wasn’t linear. It zigged, zagged, and pivoted. For a long time I wondered if that meant I was restless.
Turns out I was just built to GSD.
Why I Wrote Time to GSD
Last summer I told people this book was coming soon. It didn’t.
What surprised me wasn’t the delay – it was how easy it was to justify waiting. That realization became the spark to get Time to GSD out the door.
