In My Own Words

I've sold more than 200,000 copies of my books in eight languages.

In 2021, I co-founded Bobbi LLC, the company that created The Really Good Podcast. It hit #1 on Apple Podcasts and got over a billion views on social media.

Now I'm writing my third book, The Self-Taught Marketer, the Definitive Guide to Founder-Led Marketing. It comes out later this year.

And I run Hard Stop, a founder-led marketing agency.
