Writing.

Writing is how I think, teach, and build my network. I've created illustrated essays at More To That, published a book, and have a second one on the way with Penguin Random House. My work has been read by millions, and over 42,000 people subscribe to my newsletter. Many of the topics I write about (such as overcoming doubt, developing resilience, etc.) are aligned with the ideas that a Lead Founder Guide would navigate with students.
