A Voice at the Intersection of Innovation and Impact

Lee Russel is a bestselling author, MVP launch expert and AI strategist whose work sits at the crossroads of technology, entrepreneurship and future thinking. Known for helping founders move fast, validate early and scale with clarity, Lee has become a sought-after speaker in AI business transformation and a trusted guide for leaders navigating rapid change.

His book, The Minimal Viable Launch: A Guide to Creating Software that Sells Itself, captures the principles he’s championed for years: simplify, validate and make the first version count. But the journey to creating it wasn’t always straightforward.

‍

Before the Book: Too Many Ideas and No Clear Thread

Before the book took shape, Lee was already leading clients through leaner, more intelligent launch cycles. His reputation was strong, yet he knew there was an opportunity to articulate his thinking in a way that could reach far more founders.

The challenge wasn’t a lack of ideas. It was the opposite.

After years of advising, building and testing, Lee had accumulated an abundance of intellectual property. What he needed was the thread that tied it all together.

A few lines into the writing process, uncertainty crept in. He found himself rewriting, rethinking and wondering whether the book he was creating truly reflected the message he meant to share.

“I had ideas, lots of them. I knew I had something valuable to share, but I assumed that clarity would come as I wrote. I thought that if I just started getting words on the page, the structure and message would take shape over time.”

Without solid foundations, progress felt harder than it needed to be.

The Moment Everything Shifted

A realisation brought Lee back to the core of his own methodology: clarity always comes before creation.

That shift turned frustration into focus. He recognised that getting clear on the purpose, reader and outcomes of the book was not a luxury; it was the missing piece.

‍

“Without that early clarity, I second-guessed myself constantly. I rewrote entire sections, shifted my focus multiple times, and spent too much time wondering whether I was writing the right book.”

From that moment, he committed to doing what he teaches others: make the plan as intentional as the launch.

Crafting The Minimal Viable Launch: Structure, Voice and Strategic Precision

With a renewed sense of direction, Lee shaped a book that distilled years of insight into a cohesive, commercially powerful framework. He channelled his deep experience in MVP strategy, AI transformation and future-focused thinking into a message that founders could act on immediately.

The writing process shifted from questioning to alignment. Each chapter reinforced the core principle: clarity accelerates everything.

“It wasn’t until much later in the process, after feedback, tough decisions, and plenty of rewrites, that I fully understood what my book was meant to be.”

The result was a book that became both a teaching tool and a positioning asset, one that expressed Lee’s voice with confidence and precision.

The Results: Growth, Authority and a Community That Moves with Him

The impact of The Minimal Viable Launch reached far beyond the page.

A clear message became a commercial catalyst:

A business rebrand and multi six-figure growth
The book sharpened Lee’s market position, supporting a full strategic rebrand that aligned his services with his most commercially powerful expertise. The result was significant revenue expansion and a strengthened client pipeline.

An engaged, branded community
Founders began gathering around the ideas in the book, forming a community that shared language, process and belief in lean, intelligent action.

A high-value strategic partnership
The clarity of Lee’s message and authority opened the door to a partnership that expanded his reach and reinforced his industry credibility.

More of his “largest cheques”
Clients arriving through the book were not only warmer, they were more committed, more aligned and more willing to invest at a higher level.

Each outcome reinforced a central theme: when the message is clear, the market responds.

A Future Built on Clear Strategy and Bold Vision

With the success of The Minimal Viable Launch, Lee now stands even more firmly as a futurologist and strategist helping leaders build what’s next. His speaking, consulting and advisory work continue to grow, fuelled by a book that has become a keystone in his brand.

His focus now is expanding his impact through scalable programmes, deeper community engagement and continued thought leadership at the intersection of AI and business transformation.

The WBR Experience: From Hesitation to Confident Creation

Reflecting on the process, Lee sees clarity as the turning point, not only in the book he created, but in the journey he took to write it.

“Had I invested in deep planning early on, I could have written with confidence rather than hesitation. The more you define these answers now, the smoother your writing journey will be.”

What began as a challenging process became one of the most rewarding experiences of his professional life.
