It’s official. RealPM is live.

After years of navigating projects with fake collaboration, vague authority, and corporate gaslighting wrapped in agile lingo, I finally put it all into one brutal, unfiltered book.

This isn’t theory. It’s not PMI cheerleading.
It’s what project management really feels like when you're thrown into a mess, handed deadlines without context, and told to “drive alignment” with no actual power.

If you’ve been the one holding it all together while everyone above you smiles through dysfunction, this is for you.

📗 RealPM is now available at:

Amazon: https://a.co/d/f6iB5ic
Apple: https://lnkd.in/eh-2By3J
B&N: https://lnkd.in/eBnp3_yR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Packed with anecdotes, irreverent wisdom, and practical frameworks forged in real-life chaos." – Readers’ Favorite

Yes, the audiobook is recorded and coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who supported this through its many stages. If you’ve ever had to manage without being given the tools, this book has your name in it, whether you wrote it or not.

RealPM drops this Friday, August 1st on Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble.

It’s
not a how-to.
It’s a how-you-survive.
If you’ve ever been handed accountability without power
If you’ve cleaned up after leadership’s “strategic pivots”
If you’ve delivered results while dodging politics and burnout
Then RealPM was written for you.
This book doesn’t teach theory.
It exposes the dysfunction theory can’t fix.

If you’ve been following the movement, this is the moment.
Let’s give project managers a book that actually reflects the job.

More soon.
