Brewed From Within

Brewed From Within fuels a willingness to lead without a map. It guides fellow founders, students, educators, intrapreneurs, and startup community builders who balance a diversified career portfolio with real skills, community, and the art of connection.

Together, people like us play 80 hours to avoid working 40. We collide ideas, curiosity, initiative, healthy obsessions, creativity, knowledge, prolific action, communication, generosity, trust, evolving realities, adaptability, confidence, storytelling, humility, optimism, consistency, conspicuous kindness, fun, adventure, wonder, serendipity, peace, love, and persistence. Each quest is unique, but as leaders avoid the temptation to wait, our own entrepreneurial lifestyle becomes a creative way of being and a path to career nirvana.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK

After a cosmic Foreword by Brad Feld, the book Brewed From Within: Energy for the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle opens with an Entrepreneurship section that builds on the author’s first book. The second section is Leadership, which jams on education, teams, and community building. We then get nerdy as your wayfinder translates nerd to normal in a Technology section that will keep you ahead of innovation curves, before we land in a heartfelt section dedicated to Life & Happiness. This book is loaded with experiential wisdom and extraordinary digital depth to keep us all building… TOGETHER!
