About The Series

A tech guy's irreverent approach to life's biggest challenges — using the frameworks that businesses swear by.

JR Epps

Author & Creator of The Business Of Series

Not a therapist. Not a relationship guru. Not a life coach. Just a tech guy who noticed that we've tried everything else and thought: what if we applied the frameworks that actually work in business to the things that actually matter in life?

JR brings an IT and business background to topics that are usually dominated by feelings and intuition — not to replace the heart, but to give it a better operating system.

Published by Runic Publishing, LLC. The Business Of Series is part of a broader mission to make practical, strategic thinking accessible to everyone.

Why "The Business Of"?

Business frameworks exist for a reason. They help you set goals, measure progress, make hard decisions with data instead of drama, and course-correct when things go sideways.

These are the same challenges we face in dating, marriage, parenting, and every other area of life. The difference? In business, there's a playbook. In life, you're mostly winging it.

This series gives you the playbook. Each book takes a different life challenge and maps it to proven business strategies — with enough humor to keep you from taking it too seriously.

The Series Philosophy

Strategic, Not Cold

Being intentional about your choices isn't the opposite of love — it's the foundation. Strategy and emotion aren't enemies; they're partners.

Frameworks, Not Rules

These books give you tools for thinking, not scripts to follow. Every situation is different — the framework helps you navigate yours.

Humor, Always

A tech guy writing about dating and marriage is inherently absurd. We lean into that. The best insights often come wrapped in a laugh.
