Grateful for voices like @blairimani who articulate what so many of us are feeling.

I welcome honest, thoughtful debate. What I don’t welcome is dehumanization. What DJT did last night was disturbing—but even more disturbing? The people cheering it on.

This isn’t politics-as-usual. We’re talking about human lives. And let’s not forget: what happens abroad echoes here. People in America are living in fear—of losing their rights, their jobs, even their lives.

So please: breathe deeply. Go for a swim. Hug your kids. Text a friend. Read something grounding. Listen to a podcast that makes you feel seen.

Protect your peace—but don’t look away.

🌳 Grow deep. Build trust. Read the damn book. 📖

In a world obsessed with fast growth and flashy content, I’m more committed than ever to the slow, intentional work of building something that actually lasts. Because all influence—whether in the literary world, the business world, or anywhere in between—is built on one thing: integrity.

For the past three weeks, I’ve been writing on Substack and talking with Steph on Booked & Unfiltered about why reading the damn book matters. And to be honest? I’m tired of watching so-called influencers half-ass the work just to get the interview, the likes, the followers.

How do you trust a book recommendation from someone who hasn’t read the book?
Why would you?

It’s like taking advice from someone who’s never “tried the product”—but still expects to be seen as an expert.

And to the authors: you deserve better.
I know how badly we want support, visibility, and word of mouth. But if the audience knows the recommendation isn’t rooted in your actual work, then what’s the point? It’s fluff. It’s noise. There are no roots. No integrity. No trust.

This week’s Substack goes deeper into all of it.
📬 Head there to read and share your thoughts—because this conversation matters.

Political campaigns are now using AI to craft mess

Political campaigns are now using AI to craft messaging that actually resonates—with your values, your concerns, and your community. 🤖🗳️⁠
⁠
In this clip, Kate Barr and I talk about how AI is being trained to help candidates—especially those without massive budgets—communicate more effectively and authentically.⁠
⁠
It’s an incredible tool that levels the playing field and opens the door for more voices, more stories, and more connection in our democracy.⁠

🌳 What good is growth if your roots can’t hold you up?⁠
⁠
In this episode of My Simplified Life, Steph drops a truth bomb: when you grow fast without deep roots—aka integrity—you’re just one storm away from toppling over. 💥⁠
⁠
We’re talking about what really builds trust in the book world, why being real matters more than being big, and how staying grounded in authenticity creates lasting impact.⁠
⁠
📖 Whether you're a book influencer, author, or just tired of the performative noise—this one’s for you.⁠
⁠
🎙️ Watch now + let us know: Are you rooted or just reaching?⁠

🔥 She didn’t just start a movement — she lit a damn fire. 🔥⁠
⁠
When Shannon Watts created Moms Demand Action, she thought she was taking on one issue. What she actually did? Build a powerhouse army of moms who found their voices, their strength, and their unstoppable force for change.⁠
⁠
Her book FIRED UP isn’t just about feeling lit up about life — it’s about what happens when women stop waiting, step up, and transform the world and themselves. 💪⁠
⁠
This is the energy. This is the moment. This is what happens when women decide enough.⁠

Empathy isn’t selective. As Israel and Iran bom

Empathy isn’t selective.

As Israel and Iran bomb each other, I’m seeing posts that only speak for one side. And while I understand where those emotions come from, we cannot forget this: the governments are not the people.

I personally know good, kind, innocent human beings who are in the middle of this. Mothers, fathers, children — people who simply happened to be born in a country that is now at war.

Look at our own country. The United States government doesn’t always represent its people. We march, we protest, we speak out — because leadership and humanity aren’t always aligned.

We don’t have to support a government to have empathy for its citizens. We don’t have to agree with foreign policy to pray for those caught in the crossfire.

Empathy means seeing the human suffering on all sides.
Compassion means holding space for every innocent life living in fear right now.

Pray for the people of Iran.
Pray for the people of Israel.
Pray for all the innocent civilians in the Middle East who deserve safety, peace, and the chance to simply live.

💛 I know this is a complex and emotional topic. My heart simply aches for all the innocent people trapped in violence they did not choose. This post isn’t about politics — it’s about humanity. If you’re struggling to hold space for more than one truth at once, I gently invite you to sit with it. Empathy doesn’t require agreement — only compassion.

Today, we hung our flag. We drove downtown, honked and waved at every protester at the train station and those walking by our car. We celebrated FIFA coming to San Jose. We chatted with our incredible @mattmahansj . And then, like any normal summer day, we had our neighbors over to swim.

Because protesting, resisting, and standing up looks different for everyone.

My daughter carries fear in her eyes when we talk about protesting. This weekend, she quietly asked if I could be arrested for speaking out. Instead of attending, we drove by the protest so she could see that people were standing together peacefully — but as a mom, I didn’t want to add more fear to her world.

I’m deeply proud of my fellow Americans for showing up — in the streets, in their homes, in conversations.

And yet, like many of you, I woke today to the devastating news: two elected officials shot in their homes. A war escalating in the Middle East. Friends with family in Iran living through the unthinkable. American citizens kidnapped off our streets by ICE. It feels like the world is breaking.

I don’t have the answers. I don’t know what the solution is. But I do know this: when we stand together, when we refuse to be silent, our voices carry power. And even in the darkest moments, that matters.

@senbooker joined me to discuss the despicable scene we saw today involving this administration detaining @senalexpadilla

It’s time for us all to be courageous and to speak up!
