I'm Jared. I'm not your typical corporate guy. I don’t fit neatly into a little box, and I hate to kiss anyone’s ego. Being outspoken tends to make me stubborn, yet straightforward, and I am always open to a good challenge. My goal is to be kind and smart, even when I make mistakes. I want to leave things better than I found them and always look for the good. Fairness and the importance of equality are at the core of who I am.

Speaking of leveling the playing field, let us delve into why I wrote this book and why you are reading it now.

I do not have to remind you what the current state of “affairs” looks like when it comes to Corporate America. We know it is bleak.

Why am I bringing this up now? The situation is dire; we are declining faster than ever, and somebody has to say something, so it might as well be me. That's why I wrote this book.

Committing to a better tomorrow by changing the system we have in place is the only way out of this mess. Together, we will dismantle the machine and reclaim humane work. I can only speak from my experiences, but I know you will be able to relate to the struggles.

We've all felt it, that pressure to conform, to accept the status quo. But it's time to break free from this corporate oppression. I'm here to tell you why and how.

This book is a safe space, a sanctuary for those who've had enough of the corporate machine. You're not alone in this fight. You're part of a community, a movement for change.
