My Upcoming Book — The Mistakes That Make Us

I'm still making progress in writing a book that's inspired by the stories and lessons learned from my podcast series! I'm getting close to the finish line. The focus of the book is creating a culture of learning from mistakes. I mean "cultivating."

The Mistakes That Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation

I'm now anticipating its launch in mid-2023 (June?). I was wrong about the previously-expected March date. My mistake! Writing the book has been a very iterative process, but I'm happy about the way it's taking shape. I hope you'll be happy with it too!
