Mar ‘25 BOTS: Expert Secrets

You’re not selling a product. You’re inviting someone into a new identity.

That’s the hard truth I see so many brilliant, mission-driven entrepreneurs miss. They pour their heart into the features, the framework, the “how-to”—but forget that what people really crave is transformation.

In this month’s Book on the Shelf, I unpack how Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson helps you move from expert to guide—and why your voice, your story, and your empathy are the keys to building real momentum.

Feb ‘25 BOTS: Dopamine Nation
Feb ‘25 BOTS: Dopamine Nation

Are you actually choosing your habits—or are they choosing you?

You push hard. You work long hours. You optimize everything. But despite all that effort, there’s still a nagging sense of dissatisfaction. Why?

Because most people aren’t living a fulfilling life—they’re just distracting themselves from the fact that they don’t like what they do. Instead of facing the hard work of change, they fill the gaps with easy dopamine hits.

✔ Binge-watching while working on “important” tasks.
✔ Scrolling endlessly before bed instead of actually unwinding.
✔ Staying glued to outrage-fueled news cycles, then wondering why they feel on edge.

I get it. I’ve been there (coffee…). But here’s the truth: If you don’t take control of your dopamine habits, they will control you.

Dr. Anna Lembke’s Dopamine Nation breaks down why we chase short-term pleasure at the cost of long-term fulfillment—and what to do about it. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, this is your chance to understand why… and make a change.
