Escape to the West
The day has finally come. A long-awaited trip to the west of Ukraine, to relative safety. I went to visit my family and, at long last, get a good night's sleep. Kyiv has been under almost continuous attack

Proper Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance (Hopefully)
The title really rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? 😂 Six more days until the book launch! I’m several days deep into the marketing blitz on social media to help build anticipation. For me, marketing has

Hello, friends and strangers. It feels like I haven’t written anything in an eternity. Not because I had nothing to say. Quite the opposite, in fact. Time and again, I’ve wanted to write about what hurts
