Revenue Mind
For readers of Game Face Down

You made it to the end.

Every person who ever walked into the room I built said some version of the same sentence: I thought I was the only one.

If you just said it too, quietly, to no one, this page is for you. That sentence is why the book exists. It’s why this page exists too.

If one of the heavier chapters is sitting on you right now, you don’t have to scroll past anything: the people who pick up are here.

Land here from a link, not the last page? Game Face Down came out of thirty-three recorded conversations about the face we keep on in the room and what sits behind it. You can hear all of them, free, a little further down.

One play a week

The book is finished. The library isn’t. There are about a thousand of these written down, one for nearly every version of the room you just read about.

Every Monday I send one. Five steps and the sentence to send, for a moment somebody is actually standing in. No essay. No newsletter voice. If it stops being useful, one click and you’re out.

I don’t share this list and it never goes to an employer. That isn’t a policy, it’s the whole point.

You’re on it

First one lands Monday.

While you’re here. What room are you walking into? One sentence is plenty. I read these myself and I answer them myself.

Goes to me, not to a sequence. No automation is going to reply to you.

Got it. You’ll hear from me.

The voices in this book

Every one of them sat across from me first, on the Revenue Mind podcast. Thirty-three conversations, all of them free, all of them the unabridged version of what you just read. New here? Start with any one of them.

Or go back to the one that followed you out. Fourteen anchors, fourteen conversations. Each one has the unabridged version behind it.

If the book did its job

Honest mechanics: the thing that most decides whether Amazon shows this book to the next person isn’t anything I do. It’s how many readers said something about it.

Three sentences is plenty. Say what stayed with you, or what you argued with. The next person standing where you were standing will read it and think the sentence this whole thing is built on: I thought I was the only one.

Take it into a room

The back of the book has a discussion guide: three questions per chapter, none of them meant to be answered well. They’re meant to be answered honestly.

It works in a book club, a leadership offsite, a recovery meeting, or on a long walk alone. Here it is as its own file, so you can hand it to a room before you walk in. The rule from the book stands: start somewhere easy. The question that scares you most will still be there in an hour.

If the heavier chapters hit close to home

It took me fifteen years to learn that asking is the play. Borrow that. These are real people who pick up:
