When I first stood on what is now Muscle Island in July 2023, it was both exciting and scary at the same time. My gut told me, “This has been waiting on you—it’s time to go all in.” So, I did.

Two weeks later, I got a gift I can never repeat. I turned my phone off, drove to the island alone, and in a full flow state wrote this book I’m releasing on September 17, 2025—my 47th birthday.

I printed a few copies, shared it with people, and the feedback was powerful. They told me it was an impactful, non-intimidating read that could inspire anyone from all walks of life.

But I knew it wasn’t done yet. I sat on it for almost 2 years. As Muscle Island came to life, I added my 10 lessons from building this life-changing project.

The island represents anything we face in life that feels uncertain. You can’t treat it like someone else’s story—it has to be your own. I want this book to inspire people to listen to their gut, build habits, and take actions that change the trajectory of their families.

Here’s the crazy part: I struggled in school. I could barely read or retain information. Nobody thought I’d ever become an author. But for years I’ve had this dream: to be a best-selling author.

That’s why I’m asking for your help. If you’ve ever gotten value from me, help me hit the Amazon Best Sellers list on September 17th.

For the first week, the ebook will be just $0.99 to push it up the charts. (Regular price is $9.99.)

This is a goal I’ve never reached before. I’d appreciate your support—tell your friends, family, and homies. Let’s send it to the moon 🚀

Thank you,
