Chip’s upcoming book is his second release. His first memoir,Capital Gaines: The Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff,came out in 2017.
It will focus on the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and how Chip and Joanna’s own network helped them get where they are today.
“What I am interested in is ‘network,’ the noun. The group of people in your life and in mine with beating hearts and passions who live and love and try and fail and try again. That’s what this book is about,” he continued. “I want you to build a network of people who will stand beside you as you bust your butt to do the same for them, who believe that authentic human connection is more important than any other earthly thing, who bet on each other instead of the way of the world, and who agree that the phrase ‘it’s just business’ isn’t gonna cut it.”
“Building this kind of network requires a lot of hard work, painfully hard work at times,” he added. “But ultimately what you gain is something strong, something reliable, something to be proud of — and in my opinion something worth writing about.”
No Pains, No Gainesis set to be released on March 16, and isavailable now for preorder.
