This book is built upon the ideas of the world’s most creative individuals. It leverages brilliant ideas taken from interviews on my podcast, Through Conversations—where I have interviewed some of the world’s most brilliant minds—pop-culture, movies, other books, and thought-leaders—and chimpanzees—and seeks to grapple with big, existential questions while making you laugh every now and then. It is also shaped by in-depth research and my own personal journey. 

I spent over 2 years researching the intricate dynamics of the modern workplace, reviewing hundreds of sources on topics ranging from technological innovation to personal growth, and speaking with an array of individuals–from all backgrounds–who have grappled with the very questions this book seeks to address.

We’ll explore the challenges that come with taking leaps of faith—how to identify and navigate through them. We’ll explore the future of work that will be heavily impacted by technological innovation, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and some ways we can walk the talk of building a career based on our lives rather than our lives based on our careers.

This journey is divided into three parts:

• Part one is all about realization–this section is about awakening; It’s the first step–understanding what’s fundamentally wrong with the path we’re taking. Realization is the "aha" moment where we examine the societal scripts we've been handed and begin to question their relevance in our lives. Here, we dive deep into self-awareness, unpacking who we are, what motivates us, and how these influences have shaped our decisions. It’s about shining a light on our blueprint—our internal wiring—and recognizing both its potential and limitations.

• Part two covers integration: Integration is about acceptance and transformation. This is where we confront and embrace our shadow—the parts of ourselves we’ve ignored or repressed. By understanding our darker sides, motivations, and fears, we learn to integrate this knowledge into our lives without being controlled by it. It’s about cutting the umbilical cord to what no longer serves us and transforming our newfound awareness into tools for personal growth. This stage is where the internal work begins, preparing us to act authentically and with integrity. 

• Part three is all about action. Awareness and acceptance mean nothing without action. This part is where we take everything we’ve uncovered and integrated, and put it into practice. Action is about aligning our lives with our creative potential and values; It’s where we begin crafting a life that honors our time on Earth—one decision, one leap, one moment at a time. 

This book isn’t a step-by-step prescription or a rigid guide on how to live your life. It doesn’t claim to have all the answers because, frankly, everyone’s journey is different. The paths we walk are shaped by our unique experiences, dreams, and challenges. Instead, The Time Is Now is an invitation—a call to reflect, explore, and awaken to the possibilities that exist beyond the predetermined scripts handed to us.

I didn’t want to write a “how-to” book because life doesn’t come with instructions, and no one can tell you what your path should look like. What I can do is share stories, insights, and ideas to help you question the status quo and inspire you to take the first step toward living a life aligned with your true creative potential.

To further support your journey, each chapter concludes with reflective questions or key takeaways designed to prompt deeper introspection. These moments are not meant to direct you but to empower you, helping you uncover your truths and chart your own path.

The Time Is Now is a call to action for all of us to turn the page on lives based on despair, disappointments, regrets, and procrastination and begin a new chapter of excitement, optimism, truth, courage, integrity, and loyalty to our souls. 

But especially, a chapter built upon our creative nature.

Writing this book genuinely replenished my life’s energy, and it is my sincere wish that these words transfer you that same energy—and that they help you awaken to the true wealth you already own–one that makes you unlimited with creative power. 

I wish this book opens you to the realization of how precious your time on Earth is, and you Honor Your Time On Earth the only way it can truly be honored:

Your own way.
