Today marks a significant milestone in my journey as an author and a startup enthusiast. I am thrilled to announce the launch of my latest book, “Hitchhiker’s Guide to Startups.” This book is a labor of love, a compendium of the lessons I’ve learned over a decade of navigating the exhilarating world of early-stage startups.

As a seasoned Product Manager and Agile Coach, I’ve had the privilege of being part of both soaring successes and humbling failures. Each experience has been a stepping stone, shaping the insights and strategies that I am eager to share with you.

“Hitchhiker’s Guide to Startups” is more than just a book; it’s a roadmap for anyone passionate about building successful ventures. It’s a deep dive into the challenges of venture development and a guide to crafting solutions that resonate with your unique vision.

In these pages, you’ll find stories of unicorns and lessons from the trenches—what to do and what not to do as you seek success in your entrepreneurial endeavors. You’ll learn the importance of embracing risk and how controlled failure can be a powerful catalyst for growth.

But this book is also a personal journey. It’s a reflection of the unwavering support and inspiration I’ve received from my rock, my confidante, my wife Isley. Without her belief in me, this book would not have been possible.

As you turn each page, I hope you find the motivation to keep pushing forward, to create memories, and to evolve into the best version of yourself. Remember, the path to success is not a straight line—it’s a series of trials and triumphs.

So, to all aspiring founders and dreamers out there, let this book be your guide. Embrace the journey, experiment boldly, and learn with every step. Your startup odyssey awaits, and there’s no better time to start than now.

Godspeed on your adventure!
