In 2002, I wrote a book called The Magic of the Mask — the story of the car accident that shattered my skull at twenty, the twenty-eight surgeries that rebuilt my face, and the mindset that rebuilt the rest of me. It took me onto 20/20, Larry King, and The Today Show, and into the pages of People, Elle, and Marie Claire. Then I spent twenty years living the work instead of performing it — and what I built in that time is why I'm back.
My work is identity-level. Not motivation. Not strategy. Not another framework that sounds good in theory and collects dust in practice. It's the decision underneath everything else - the one that determines whether your behavior actually changes, or whether you read another book and revert by Wednesday. I teach it privately. I teach it publicly. And starting now, I'm publishing it - beginning with the Own The Room series.
