Nothing beats writing by hand with a Japanese gel pen! It’s an extra special Friday at Yes, It’s Friday! Today is the day before Halloween, which also happens to be my birthday. My early present is a proof copy of my upcoming book, Radically Authentic: How Quiet Achievers Stop Fitting In and Start Playing Big! This feels surreal, because writing a book was never my ambition or even part of my 2026 plans. It seemed like such a gargantuan effort in completely unknown territory.
