About the Author
Ranga Jagannath has spent years immersed in startups, strategy, and quarterly results—and yes, he genuinely enjoys a well-structured spreadsheet and a sharp business review. He has built brands, led teams, and asked questions that made even confident decks a little nervous.

These days, he channels that same energy into peakpursuit.substack.com, his weekly Substack on personal growth, creative detours, and the kinds of ideas that arrive mid-run or during roadside daydreams.
If something here made you laugh, think, or simply pause—he would love to hear from you. The conversation continues on Substack, where reflections (serious, silly, or sideways) are always welcome.
And if this book felt like a slightly uncoordinated run that somehow cleared your head—glad you made it.
