Ten weeks ago I started publishing a behavioral series on The Ready Set. One behavior at a time, no filler, no recycled leadership advice. Last week it wrapped with Shared Success, the tenth and final behavior in the model.
If you’ve been reading, thank you. Genuinely. Writing into the void is a strange thing, and knowing people are on the other end of it, and finding it useful, matters more than I usually say out loud.
Now I want to tell you what’s next.
Paid membership is open.
The Ready Set on Substack is moving to a paid tier, and I want to be straightforward about what that means and what it doesn’t. This isn’t just “deep-dives” or access to chat or talk with me. Frankly, I’m always available to chat.
It doesn’t mean the free content disappears either. The same, insightful weekly content continues for everyone. What it means is that paid subscribers get something the free tier can’t offer, and something that I haven’t seen any other publication offer: a full developmental experience. A way to stop reading about the behaviors and start working on them (personally, specifically, and with actual data behind it).
That starts with KLIR.
What KLIR is.
KLIR (Key Leader Impact and Readiness) is a diagnostic tool I built around the ten behaviors you’ve spent the last ten weeks reading about. It takes about fifteen minutes. When you finish, you get a personalized report that shows you where you score across all ten behaviors, which ones are your strongest leadership assets right now, where your real development opportunities are, and what a focused growth path looks like for your specific profile.
Not a personality type. Not a generic archetype. A behavioral picture of you, grounded in the same model this series was built on.
It’s available exclusively to paid subscribers, starting now.

The Charter Member rate.
For the next seven days, I’m holding 25 Charter Member spots at 38% off — locked permanently at that rate for as long as you stay subscribed.
I want to be clear about what this is. It’s not a promotional discount designed to lapse. It’s a permanent rate for the people who’ve been here since the beginning. Before the paid tier, before KLIR, before any of what’s coming. Early believers deserve to be treated differently, and this is how I’m doing that.
Twenty-five spots. Seven days. After that, the charter rate closes and standard pricing applies.
Why this, why now.
I’ve spent over fifteen years watching leaders struggle with the same avoidable problems. Not because they lack intelligence or drive, but because no one ever gave them a clear, honest picture of where they actually stand behaviorally. Not where they think they stand. Not where their last performance review said they stand. Where the data puts them.
That’s the gap The Ready Set was built to close. KLIR is the tool that makes it personal.
If you’ve been reading this series and found yourself nodding, or quietly uncomfortable, or taking stock of your own leadership in ways you hadn’t expected, that response is data. And it’s exactly the kind of signal KLIR was built to help you act on.

If the timing isn’t right, no pressure. The free content continues and I’m glad you’re here either way.
But if you’re ready, the door is open, and it won’t be at this price again.
