Being my personal story and knowing it could only be narrated by me, I couldn't bring myself to simply read into a mic. Instead, I converted each chapter into episodes of the podcast over time to be more conversational and then strung them back together. Finalized nearly two years after the paperback, I chose not to make it available commercially but rather exclusively in the training courses I'd since developed to help others build the skills to put the Z-isms concepts into practice with lasting effect. As the 5-year anniversary approaches in 2025, it's time to make the audiobook available to everyone. It may well be my proudest achievement to date. ENJOY!
