It starts with me at 30, curled up on a ferry terminal bench at 3 a.m. Marriage gone, house gone, bank account cleaned out. Ten years later I've got the career, the marriage and the kids. The book is how.

The facts didn't change. The story did.

The regulars

My day job is getting people together. I grew the Power Platform community at Microsoft to 2.2 million, built DocuSign's developer community to 25,000, and now I run community and developer relations at OutSystems, with nearly a million builders in 87 countries.

Host a podcast? Pull up a stool. Running a conference? Let's talk about a keynote.
