I Was Secretly Writing a Book All Along

The sample copies arrived today. The book goes on sale at bookstores nationwide and on Amazon starting 5/18.

This book brings together answers to the typical questions and stumbling blocks I’ve encountered while serving as an advisor or consultant to various companies, and while fielding questions from friends and juniors.

It ended up scattered with advice and hints for a wide range of readers: people involved in manufacturing who have no idea about IoT, people with IoT knowledge who have never seen or heard anything about the realities of startups, and people who have nothing but a dream and want to launch a business but are lost about which way to turn.

I’ve always loved books and read a lot of them, but this is actually my first time publishing one myself, and having the physical copy arrive like this stirs something deep.

Flipping back through it, what I managed to line up feels less like “a bunch of know-how you can put to use right away” and more like “content rich enough to serve as a foundation once you’ve read it through carefully” — somewhat stiff, somewhat heavy, but valuable. That might be reflected in the cover design too.

What kind of response will it get. Will this make someone happy. I’m looking forward to finding out.
