I’m featured in Tension: The Energy of Innovation, a new book by Chris Wasden, EdD, and Mitch Wasden, EdD, which explores how leaders navigate uncertainty and use tension as a force for innovation and growth. In my contribution, I reflect on the importance of embracing tension as a catalyst for progress—a principle that has guided my approach to leadership and entrepreneurship for decades.

“This book is amazing. After reading the first few chapters, I started over and underlined the parts I wanted to come back to later. It’s a must-read for anyone in business who wants to remain viable and grow—especially in industries undergoing significant change.”

Being included alongside leaders from venture capital, healthcare, and organizational development underscores the shared belief that meaningful transformation often emerges from moments of challenge, pressure, and change.
