My Book 'Hidden Genius' is Out Today!

Today's the day! You can find 'Hidden Genius' in a bookstore near you!

Good morning, friends!

Wow. What a day. Can you believe we’re here? This tiny newsletter has grown into a book!!!

I’ve been waiting for today since the first time I wrote, illustrated, and bound a book with string at 6 years old.

But today’s email is not about me. It’s about you. In the acknowledgements section of the book, I write:

To the readers of The Profile who have supported me for years. I often say that The Profile is the best community on the planet because it’s full of curious, intelligent, and overall amazing humans. None of you are shy about giving me your opinions, criticisms, and feedback on a weekly basis, and you are responsible for helping improve the quality of my work.

Without you, The Profile wouldn’t exist, this book wouldn’t exist, and my career as an independent writer wouldn’t exist. Your kind emails have carried me through some really dark times, and your suggestions for improvement have allowed me to grow in ways I never thought possible.

So here we are! And today, I hope we can all celebrate together! Take a photo with the book, share it with me, and most importantly, let me know what you think. It will mean the world to me.

As a reminder, I’ll be hosting events in Miami, NYC, and Atlanta, so I hope to see you there and thank you in person!

How can you help on launch day?

If you want to support me on launch day, here’s how you can help:

1. Leave a review: If you read the book and enjoyed it, I’d be so thankful if you took the time to share a review on Amazon or Goodreads about it so others can read it too!

2. Share a photo of the book in the wild: If you want to help me spread the word, I’d love it if you share a photo of the book and tag me on Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn!

3. Introductions: If you or someone you know has a platform (newsletter, podcast, YouTube, etc) with a large audience (100,000+ people), and you’d like to make an introduction, please fill out this form.

4. Sign up for my newsletter The Profile where I will be sharing more updates. Sign up here.

Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been reading your emails with tears in my eyes knowing that this is all possible because of you. My genuine hope is that a small idea inside the book helps you discover your own hidden genius and gives you license to live a fulfilling, meaningful life — the kind of life you’ve always been meant to live.
