About the Author

Jordan Cross

I hold a master's degree in psychology and spent twenty-five years in medical and pharmaceutical sales across South Florida. I spent those years watching talented, hardworking people give everything to employers who gave back only as long as it was convenient.

"At 10:47 PM on a Thursday, I sat in a parking lot, opened a legal pad, and wrote one question: What do I know that someone would pay for — directly to me? This series is the answer."

I did not inherit money. I did not get spectacularly lucky. I woke up to what the employment deal actually was. I built things — slowly, consistently, in the right direction.

I write from Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic, where the electricity bill is forty-five dollars a month and the Tuesday mornings belong to me.
