someone called me out yesterday



Hey Reader,

Someone called me out yesterday:

"Why do I need a workbook? Just tell me what to say."

Honestly, it's a fair question.

Here's why I wrote The Next Conversation Workbook:

Knowing communication tips is one thing.

But using the right words when you're in the conversation?

That's different.

I can tell you the three Cs—Control, Confidence, Connect—over and over.

And you can know them in your mind.

But when you're face-to-face with someone and the conversation is going sideways…

That's when you need more than just head-knowledge.

You need practice.

And that's what my workbook does.

It gives you reps. Like a trial lawyer preparing for court. Like an athlete running drills.

You work through the exercises.
You figure out your words ahead of time.
You get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

And then when the moment comes—you're ready.

It releases March 24, 2026.

But you can order your workbook now to make sure you have yours on day one.

It's going to become the most-used book on your shelf. I promise you that.

Thanks for being here, Reader.

Hey Reader, You know how sometimes you hear advice and think... “How do I hang on to this for when I really need it?” That's exactly why I created The Next Conversation Workbook.

Hey Reader, You’re in a heated conversation. Your pulse picks up. You’re ready to defend your point — to prove you are right. But here’s the truth: The moment you focus on yourself, you lose your ability to influence. So how do you turn that around? Here are 3 ways to shift any argument from conflict to influence. #1. Flip the focus. Most people go into arguments thinking: “I have to make them see I’m right.” That mindset triggers defensiveness — yours and theirs. Instead, ask yourself these...
