Mitch Russo

Mitch Russo’s public life began onstage as the lead guitarist for the rock band Absolutely Free. But the real work began after the amplifiers went silent.

Mitch co-founded Timeslips Corp., which grew into the world’s largest time-tracking software company before being acquired by Sage PLC. He later partnered with Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes to build Business Breakthroughs International into a company with annual revenue approaching $30 million.

After Holmes’ death, Mitch experienced a quiet but decisive shift. What followed was a decade-long evolution that produced six business books, a new software platform, and a growing realization that success alone was no longer enough.

That realization led him to an unexpected place: fiction.

His debut novel, Sacred Crossroads, emerged from a period of profound transition, an in-between space where old identities dissolved and certainty vanished. The story reflects that threshold moment when nothing makes sense anymore.
