I'm looking forward to your book very much. I'm a growth chaser, though not in entrepreneurship mostly. But I know and love the feeling of doing something that makes your stomach sink a little, knowing that you're at your growth edge. I can't wait to learn more about the psychological tools you think might help me achieve my ambitions!

“We build ourselves by building” resonates with me on two levels. I built myself by building my audiobook musical, *Following Jimmy Valentine*, from an O. Henry story. In my version, the title character builds himself and keeps working on himself, as if his soul were the Hudson River School painting that inspired me to write the music.

It's not easy to comprehend how you must feel to have leapt that hurdle. Congratulations! And best of luck with the next phase.

Can't wait to read it! Ambition and life satisfaction are so tied up together in so many different balances. Your book will open some doors in your reader's understanding of that balance even if the focus is on the intense founder mindset.

Thank you, and yes, absolutely! What I’m trying to convey here is precisely that the book applies to anyone regardless of vocation, so long as they’re interested in building a great life for themselves.
