Hey there, fellow goal digger!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a lovely, long list of what you want to squeeze out of this luscious, juicy fruit of a life we’ve got. Whether you’re trying to sell your latest invention, slide into a promotion (or slide into someone’s DM’s—Iook at me using such hip lingo here making my teen cringe), or just convince your kids to eat their vegetables, it all comes down to a persuasive pitch and telling a damn good story. And the quicker you get to the point, the better. Sure, we all want our 15 minutes of fame, but how are you going to get it in a world where people have a 9 second attention span that is shorter than a goldfish?*
That’s why I wrote this book, Life’s A Pitch: How to Win What You Want in Business and in Life.
I’ve been around the world and around the water cooler and I’ve learned a thing or two about standing out in a crowded marketplace. And let me tell you, it’s not about being the loudest or the flashiest. It’s about knowing (and liking) your audience (and their problems), getting creative, and having a killer elevator pitch at the ready (you never know who you’ll run into or how you’ll connect with them).
I’ll teach you the tricks of the trade that have kept me on top of the publicity and marketing game for years. You’ll learn how to craft the perfect pitch, charm the toughest of critics, and nail that media appearance like a boss. Whether you’re aiming at a promotion, a reinvention, or a revolution, I’ll point you in the right direction. So, buckle up, my beautiful buttercup, let’s turn those dreams into reality—after all, life’s a pitch, and I’m here to make sure you’re the one winning the game.

*Ok, I did some digging, there really isn’t any scientific-y evidence that goldfish have 9 second attention spans (seems it was a stat made up in marketing). I personally have never had the opportunity to chat up a goldfish to confirm the theory, however, I have had many conversations with people who can’t focus, and I know you have too. Hence, here we are. Also, now I know you’re the type of person who follows footnotes and I think I love you.
