I arrived in the UK with €230, no English, and no degree.

I slept in a park. I worked at McDonald's. I became a high dependency ambulance crew member working 12-hour shifts. Then, I taught myself to code on a second-hand laptop in my spare time.

Today I'm a Software Engineer, founder of my own consultancy, and a published author.

If you've ever talked yourself out of something because you were afraid of what people might think, this book is for you.

It's not a motivational book. It's not about positive thinking or manifestation or hustle culture. It's about a simple, liberating truth: nobody is watching you fail. The audience you imagine, the one judging your every move, doesn't exist. Everyone is too busy worrying about their own lives to scrutinise yours. And once you really understand that, you're free to start. Start ugly. Start scared. Start before you're ready.
