Help me reach 10,000 entrepreneurs who need this message.

Community Made challenges the biggest lie in entrepreneurship: that success is self-made. After going from complete isolation to building relationships that saved my business multiple times, I've created a practical guide for finding, nurturing, and activating the right relationships.

But I can't reach the right readers alone.

My goal is simple: get this book into the hands of 10,000 growth-minded entrepreneurs who value relationships but don't know how to build them systematically.

Every authentic review, every social share, every conversation you spark about these ideas helps the right entrepreneurs discover that they don't have to navigate success alone. You're not just supporting a book; you're helping transform how we think about relationships and success.

Here's how you can help:

  • Be a Beta Reader and help me further refine before it hits bookstores

  • Commit to purchasing a copy and leaving a thoughtful review

  • Recommend Relevant podcasts, communities, or influencers

  • Post about it when you find value in the content


This isn't about hitting bestseller lists. It's about reaching entrepreneurs ready to transform their approach to relationships.

Your support makes that possible.

Getting Community Made Into
The Right Hands


I've had some big wins in business, but writing Community Made is one of the first times I feel genuinely proud of the effort and energy I put into something.


I started writing this in 2018, but stopped when I realized how much work it would take. I was hoping that someone else would write the book that was needed in the marketplace. Books in this space either tell you relationships are important and that isolation is an epidemic but don't give you much direction. Or are tactical, but teach you to approach relationships transactionally using people as pawns to support your goals. Which is just icky.


Community Made bridges the gap. It makes the argument that the narrative of being self-made is bullshit and that nobody achieves anything great alone.

Since October 2023…

I've poured 680 hours into writing and editing this book. Taking it from 440 pages down to 180.


More important than the time invested is what's actually in these pages… Fourteen years of going from knowing nobody in 2011 to building a world-class peer group and eleven years of having a front row seat to how some of the most successful entrepreneurs actually navigate relationships.

Relationships are a learnable skill.

Readers don't need to spend 10,000 hours figuring it out. They can steal mine instead.

The book is thoughtfully laid out, and each section builds on the last:

First - How to find the right relationships and do so in record time

Second - How to nurture the relationships that matter, along with strategies on how to do so at scale

Third - How to ask for help (We explore the resistance and why it's critical to bridge the gap)


How to ask for help is very much my own growth edge, which is the purpose of this page.


The ironic thing about writing a book is that it's one of the most community-made creative acts one can do.

First, I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. This book sits on the foundation of those before me. Not in the networking space, but drew wisdom and concepts from brilliant minds in the personal development, intimate relationships and investing space.

Then you have collaborators, thought partners, editors, beta readers... and now, I need your support in order to get this book in the right hands.

So what's the goal?


I have two. One is up to me, and one I can't do without your help.


First, I need to get this book into the hands of 10,000 of the right readers. Entrepreneurs who value relationships and know there's a better way than navigating them transactionally.


From those 10,000, my real goal is 1000 true fans. A thousand readers who either leave a review on Amazon or email me personally sharing that the book shifted something meaningful inside of them.


Some may say 1000 true fans isn't ambitious enough. Why not strive to hit a bestseller list? Because this book is not for everyone. It's for a specific type of entrepreneur who's ready to drop the mask and build relationships that actually matter.

This is where I need your help.


Whether it's connecting me with podcasts to help reach the right audience, opening doors to organizations whose members could benefit from the book, or simply leaving a review upon the book's launch. No act of support is too small.

Let's be honest... I can't teach people how to build passive income empires, launch the next unicorn startup or achieve inbox zero. I've done none of those things.


But if an entrepreneur is ready to learn how to build a peer group of companions on the path who can help them quickly overcome obstacles and will share their name in a room full of opportunities, this has been my intense focus for the last decade.


If you can help me reach the right readers, I would be forever grateful.


Together we can make a dent.

A Sneak Peek…

Who's the
Right Reader?

Community Made is for entrepreneurs who have moved beyond the ‘hustle and grind’ phase and are scaling their Second Mountain - where success isn't just about money anymore. They want meaningful relationships but don’t know how to really cultivate them because everything they’ve learned about ‘networking’ feels gross and transactional.

These entrepreneurs are done with ‘fake it till you make it.’ They’re ready to drop the mask, be vulnerable and build relationships that actually matter. Not just in business, but in life. They know that no one achieves anything in isolation, and Community Made will give them the map to finding and building their community.

The Paradox They Face: Entrepreneurship has consumed so much of their life force that only scraps remain for relationships - and yet, relationships are one of the things they say that they value most. They are growth-minded but time-constrained and seek high-leverage strategies to find and force the connections that will shape their future. They aren’t looking for more social media connections; they are seeking true companions on the path.

Common Pain Points:

  • They've outgrown their current peer group with no roadmap to find their true peer group

  • They know a lot of people, but very few really know them

  • They're allergic to traditional networking events, yet they crave authentic connection

  • They struggle with asking for help (the entrepreneur's curse)


Community Made is NOT for: Entrepreneurs who are just starting out and need basic networking tips, or anyone looking to approach relationships transactionally. It’s for builders who want to build with others.

What Readers will Learn…

Part One: How to Find the RIGHT relationships

Readers will learn to both identify and attract the relationships that actually matter. It’s not about networking or collecting contacts, but rather recognizing who deserves a seat on your ‘bus’ and having the courage to empty your seats when necessary. They’ll understand how to spot rising stars before the spotlight hits, how to move through the Relationship Funnel, and why curated communities can condense decades of relationship-building into days.

-> Every relationship has an opportunity cost - saying yes to the wrong people means saying know to the right ones.

Part Two: How to Nurture relationships with INTENTION through systematic investment


Readers will master the seven ways to make people feel seen: Check-ins, Gratitude, Biggest Fan, Resources, Inner Circle, Gifting and Showing Up When It Matters Most. They’ll learn exactly why “How can I help you?” is actually harmful and discover how to capture ‘relationship intelligence’ that matters. They will also learn how to categorize relationships into distinct buckets with specific investment cadences for each level.

-> Investing in relationships follows the same rules as investing in business: timing matters more than volume. And vulnerability windows offer the highest returns.

Part Three: How to Master the Vulnerable Art of ASKING


Readers will gain an understanding of why asking for help often feels impossible (from childhood programming to the ‘self-made’ myth) and learn the five rules for asking well. They’ll discover how to build their Circle of Allies BEFORE crisis hits and most importantly, they’ll learn how to enroll people in their success through practices like annual updates and ‘design dinners.’

-> Your inability to ask for help is the glass ceiling of your growth - and it’s the most significant edge that most entrepreneurs never conquer.

Readers go from isolated achievers drowning in shallow connections to community-made entrepreneurs with a systematic approach to building relationships that will define their next decade.

Early Feedback

“Your writing feels deeply personal and disarmingly honest. The self-effacing tone builds trust quickly, and the reader gets the sense you’ve lived every word. This is rare and powerful.”

{ Voice and Vulnerability }

“Concepts like ‘Buckets,’ the ‘5, 15, 50’ Dunbar framework, and the draft metaphor for relationship prioritization are both useful and sticky. You’ve managed to take intangible ideas and make them tactical.”

{ Practical Wisdom }

“You’re explicit about who the book is for (and not for), with a clear call-out to ‘second mountain’ entrepreneurs. This precision will resonate with your core reader and help the book find its tribe.”

{ Clarity of Audience }

“Woven insights from Naval, Hormozi, Esther Perel, Warren Buffett, and others in ways that complement rather than compete with your voice. This makes the book feel like a curated experience of hard-earned wisdom.”

{ Strong Curation }

“The big idea—‘Self-made is a myth’—is memorable, contrarian, and emotionally resonant. The notion that ‘relationships are a skill’ is also empowering and demystifying.”
