Here are some of the projects I worked on while at Ramit Sethi’s I Will Teach You To Be Rich:

  • Your Move: The Underdog’s Guide to Building Your Business (WSJ #1 Bestseller) – I was the lead writer on this project, working with Ramit Sethi. It hit #1 on the WSJ bestseller list during pre-orders, and got some incredible reviews from our audience, like this one and this one.
  • Project Burn – A 12-week fitness program I developed that helped 120 students shed weight, boost their energy, and build an exercise habit. Led by Ramit Sethi, with coaching from Sumeet Sahni.  Check out before’s, after’s, and success stories… plus a little about the process that got us there.
