I have a confession to make. I didn't write a single word of this book back in 2013, 2017, 2022, and now 2025. And no, I didn’t use “AI” to write this 4th edition you’re now reading.

Instead of using a ghostwriter or writing the book myself, I spoke the content over a period of 15+ hours - I sat in front of my computer, used summary notes, spoke to the screen, recorded my voice, and had it transcribed. I then edited, taking out the “um’s”, and the “uh’s”, and corrected the grammar of my spoken sentences. That’s how I spoke, not wrote this book.

Later I’ll show you how and why ‘speaking a book’ (as opposed to “old fashioned writing”) is a profitable breakthrough you can use in your own law practice. Even in mid-2025 (when this 4th edition went to print), I didn’t use a lick of AI – it’s all my own words and thoughts.
