I’m writing a book called Frameworks Thinking — and instead of disappearing until it’s finished, I’m building it in public. This is Chapter 1: Calling the Shot. It’s the first chapter because nothing works until direction is declared. I’ve invited a small group of people I respect to be Founding Readers — not to promote anything, but to help pressure-test the ideas while the book is still taking shape. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing frameworks from chapters that don’t exist yet, starting here. Your role is simple: - Read the framework - Notice what lands (and what doesn’t) - Share honest feedback No hype. No polish. Just real thinking, in real time. More coming soon. — Kevin

Most people don’t procrastinate because they’re lazy. They procrastinate because they’re mentally exhausted from deciding all day. What stood out to me from Dr. Ben Hardy’s work is this idea:when your future is unclear, everything feels like a decision. What to work on.What to ignore.What actually matters. That constant mental negotiation drains energy fast. But when your future becomes clearer, a lot of decisions disappear — and action feels easier. Curious — where do you notice decision fatigue showing up most for you right now?

Quick context for why I’m sharing this here 👇 There are three people who genuinely changed my life:Eric Thomas, Russell Brunson, and Gary Vee. They shaped how I think about discipline, systems, and long-term thinking. Because of that, I don’t chase trends.I pay attention to moments. This week, that moment is the AI Business Summit, starting Jan 14. It’s a 3-day virtual event focused on how AI is actually being used in real businesses right now — not hype, not theory. It’s led by Alicia Lyttle, with insights from Russell Brunson, Gary Vee, and Neil Patel. If AI has been on your radar at all and you want clarity instead of noise, this is worth checking out. 👉 https://www.kevinmangum.com/ai-summit I’ll be sharing takeaways here during the event.

I’m writing a book. Not someday.Not “when things slow down.” Starting now. The book is called Frameworks Thinking. It exists because I’ve spent years watching capable people stay stuck — not because they aren’t capable, but because they don’t have clear frameworks to think, decide, and move forward with. Instead of waiting until it’s “done,” I’m building this book in public. Along the way, I’ll be sharing: - What I’m learning - What I’m teaching - What’s working - What’s uncomfortable No polish. No hype. Just the real process. If you want to follow along as the book takes shape, comment BOOK or visit:👉 kevinmangum.com/frameworks Let’s build it together.
