I send Transferable every other week, and a lot of you stopped opening it a while back. That's fine. Inboxes fill up, and some of you landed on this list before you ever chose to be here.

I'd rather write for people who want it than pad a number. So this is the one email where I ask you for something.

Two things are changing. I'm writing a book on Transferable Capital, the idea that your worth is the portable value you carry from role to role, not the title you hold. It isn't finished, and I'd like readers in the room while I build it.

After writing my first book, ‘Laid Off to Lift Off,’ I got great traction, but what was missing were the details of the framework I created that helped me understand why owning my value proposition and value creation was critical to my success and survival. The Transferable Capital Framework needed its own space, and that is why I created this newsletter, offer coaching, and am writing the next book.

Also, I want to focus on the people who want this content and my help. So I’m trimming this list down to the people who still want to be on it.

Here's how to stay. Take the Capital Gap quiz at the link below. It scores you across the six capitals and shows where yours is thin. Your click tells me you're still here, and it puts you on the early reader list, where I'll ask for your input as the book takes shape.

If the quiz isn't your thing, reply with one sentence on what you'd want the book to answer. I'll keep you on and read every reply.

If I don't hear from you by Friday, October 2, I'll take you off the list. No hard feelings.
