First of all, I can't believe it has been FOUR months since the pre-order launch campaign ended. On one hand, it flew by. On the other hand, it has felt like four years. Both hands are good as that's life and I wouldn't have any other way.

Over these four months, I've been continuing to write the book (over 3 chapters now!!) and speaking with various publishers around the world. I've had amazing conversations and they definitely didn't make it easy to choose which one would be the home for my book.

After some thought, I've finally made my decision and am happy to report that The 1up Effect has found a home with Morgan James Publishing. I am SUPER thrilled to share this news with you first (after my family) before going public later today.

I'm also pumped to share this journey with Morgan James and have their support in bringing the message of The 1up Effect to people all around the world.

I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful for this opportunity. Once again, if it weren't for YOUR support in pre-ordering a copy and sharing this with others, it's unlikely I would have gotten the attention of Morgan James so I'm so grateful for you.

Now, the next level of work begins. My commitment is to have this book complete by the end of September and hopefully a publish date could be sometime around Feb 2022 (this is an estimation and could be sooner or later).

I'm thinking of various ways to include you all in the book-writing process and will be reaching out to see what could be fun for all of us. While I may be the one writing this book, I want as many people to be a part of its creation as possible. This is YOUR book as much as it is mine.

I have so many people to thank for this moment and I guess that's why I'll have an Acknowledgements Chapter in my book 😊

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to making life a game we can win and have fun playing.
