Forge Through 40: Beyond Your MVP showed you how one man turned four decades of setbacks, faith, family, and hard-won lessons into a life built on purpose instead of autopilot. This companion workbook is where you do the same - not in theory, but on the page, in your own hand.
Forty worksheets. Each one opens with a line drawn straight from the memoir, then moves at the pace of real life: a two-minute Quick Version to get something honest down today, and a ten- to fifteen-minute Deep Dive for the days you're ready to go deeper. Every prompt gives you real room to write - because the insight you don't capture is the insight you lose.
Built by a product leader, the workbook borrows the discipline for shipping great products and applies it to the one product that matters most: your life. You'll map the people who ground you, audit where your time actually goes, name the beliefs you've outgrown, and design the next version of yourself on purpose. Use them in order or open to whatever the week demands. Use a pencil. Come back and mark it up again next year.
And as you work, something grows. Each worksheet adds a ring to a living tree, the way a trunk records a year of growth - until the fortieth page carries a full forty-ring trunk with an acorn at its heart. A quiet record of the person you're becoming.
A life built by design, not by default. No oak grows alone - this is where you start.
What's inside:
- 40 double-sided worksheets, each anchored to a passage from the memoir
- A fast Quick Version and a deeper Deep Dive on every topic - however much time you have
- Generous, guided space to write, list, score, and decide
- Prompts on belonging, mentorship, strengths, purpose, faith, family, work, and legacy

Who it's for:

- Anyone in a season of rebuilding - career, faith, relationships, identity
- Builders and product people who suspect the frameworks behind great products can shape a great life
