Great ideas don’t fail. They fade.
Learn how to make sure yours doesn’t.
The idea is only 1%.
The other 99% is everything it takes to make it real.
Making an Idea Real is a book-in-progress for people who are tired of sitting on smart ideas—and ready to actually move them forward. It’s built for creative minds, internal changemakers, and anyone trying to do work that matters inside fast-moving teams.
I’ve spent years pitching ideas, some that landed, and others that died in the room. I started writing this book to figure out why. Making an Idea Real is the result of that journey—part memoir, part field guide, part survival manual for creative people trying to move ideas forward inside complex teams.
This isn’t a book about dreaming big.
It’s about what happens next—when the pitch is over and the real work begins. If you’ve ever had a great idea stall inside a meeting, a team, or a company that wasn’t ready… this book is for you.
