From a Tent to Audacity

Written By Katie Goar

When Babbie Jaco asked me at the end of our WAHNcast conversation if there was anything she hadn't asked about, I gave her podcast the first public sneak peek at something Iโ€™ve been working on for a very long time:

I wrote a book.
It's called AUDACITY.

It's in partnership with Forbes Books, and it took what felt like 8,000 emails to decide on the cover.

The book is about a simple conviction: ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ๐›๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ'๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐š๐ฎ๐๐š๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.

Most of us just never called it that.

Babbie's was a cocktail-napkin deal for 70 properties.
Mine started in a tent. Then college. Then saying yes to a promotion I wasn't ready for.

Thank you, WAHN for the 50/50 award and for having me back again on WAHNcast!
Thank you Tonya Beeler for the patience during those 8,000 emails. The moment we first saw the cover is a cherished moment.
