Real people. Real work. In their own words.
Every week I sit down with someone creating what’s next. Many of them write on Substack. You hear them talk through the work. You see where the plan holds and where the plan bends.

I’m no stranger to change. Infantry. Headhunter. Entrepreneur. Advisor/Coach. Writer.
Every evolution required a new identity. New resources. Different support.
In each case, I found one of the biggest levers to pull wasn’t a 5-step process, but the power of the community built to support the work those leaders were doing: transformation.
I built and sold two search firms, placed more than a thousand senior leaders, and helped more than 17,000 professionals in their search for what’s next. Now I write fiction and sit down with people creating their next chapter in real time, from St. Petersburg, Florida.
I also advise a small number of people each year. Reply to any Saturday email to start a conversation.

Creating What’s Next arrives every Saturday. The interviews, my writing, and what I’m sharing from the community.
