The future of business isn't just about AI. It’s about identity.
To harness the gravity of a directed voice, I wrote Publish or Perish as an exploration of the village required to sustain a leader. From the matriarchs who held the line to the profound lessons passed from father to son, I trace the thread of my journey: the responsibility of the storyteller. At its heart, this book is about agency, identity, and authenticity in the face of professional change.
For the Executive: Leaders navigating the complex intersection of digital transformation and organizational strategy.
For the Strategist: Professionals tasked with maintaining digital trust and long-term brand equity.
For the Change-Maker: Anyone looking to leverage their personal narrative to drive impact in their industry.
“From the moment I shook MJ’s hand after his team won the White House Blue Button Challenge [in 2010], I sensed a spark. Talent, purpose, and clarity of mission. In Publish or Perish, he channels that same energy into a compelling blueprint for leading with authenticity, navigating change, and turning personal truth into public impact. His story will resonate with anyone striving to build with meaning.”
— Aneesh Chopra, former U.S. Chief Technology Officer and author of Innovative State
