So glad you shared this here too, cos no, I doubt I'd have seen it on the website! Just started reading your book finally (I wasn't in a reading headspace for a good while) and you just sing what I'm feeling.

I have a question that I probably need to articulate a few times before I get it right, but here's my first attempt: writing articles like this that might seem 'edgy' to the corporate types who you might want to work with as a consultant is something I still worry about doing ... I really want to know how you handle any objections or negative judgements you get from potential clients when they see some of your your content (including the book)? I assume that at best, you just helpfully filter out people you don't want to work with anyway, but is there more to it practically?
I felt ok to ask the above after reading the passage in the Pathless Path about people not seeing (close enough) examples of non-default paths, and this obstacle is one of my few outstanding questions.
1. I do separate my brands - StrategyU and Boundless
2. many people do find both - and the ones that still reach out are cool with it - so better clients anyway!
3. I decided a while ago writing is my thing - It's taken many years to build up that confidence of what i really think and share it - but ive never regretted this (my curiosity is pretty tame too, i dont wade into hot issues)

Yeah good Q!
1. I do separate my brands - StrategyU and Boundless
2. many people do find both - and the ones that still reach out are cool with it - so better clients anyway!
3. I decided a while ago writing is my thing - It's taken many years to build up that confidence of what i really think and share it - but ive never regretted this (my curiosity is pretty tame too, i dont wade into hot issues)
The last point is what I'm still calibrating within my context, needs more practice!
Have you got any stories to share (or have shared) about clients who appreciate your boundless brand and writing?
Nothing crazy. But just some people saying they bought my book. Some also secretly sharing plans to quit haha
