The Ask
Break the Rules, Unleash Curiosity & Busild the Future (2025)
In The Ask, Katie Mehnert delivers a no-holds-barred manifesto for anyone ready to shatter the status quo and build a future that works for everyone. This isn’t your typical self-help book—it’s a fearless guide to asking bigger, bolder, and better questions that ignite change in your life, your business, and the world.
Through personal stories and lessons from trailblazing leaders, Mehnert shows how the power of asking can break barriers and spark revolutions. Meet a feminist plumber defying the odds in male-dominated trades, a visionary reshaping industry with grit and audacity, and a global icon who proves that vulnerability is the ultimate strength. Their stories—and Mehnert’s unfiltered insights—will challenge you to rethink what’s possible.
But The Ask doesn’t stop at personal transformation. It’s a blueprint for flipping markets, dismantling outdated systems, and creating a legacy that starts now. Mehnert dares you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace the edge, and disrupt the world as we know it. Edgy, unapologetic, and packed with fire, The Ask will leave you questioning everything—and ready to take on anything.
Grow with the Flow
Embrace Difference, Overcome Fear, and Progress with Purpose (Published 2020)
The world unleashes daily tidal waves of information, which can be overwhelming in our current news cycle. Our planet’s energy is changing—not just industrially but fundamentally and spiritually, too. As the current conversation around global energy, technology, and the economy pushes our collective psyche to burst, how can we learn to ride these waves?
When Hurricane Harvey hit Katie Mehnert's work and life in 2017, she began to think less about controlling energy and more about how to grow from it. Growing with the Flow is about personal evolution because personal evolution is about planetary evolution. Each of us is a puzzle piece in our collective future, and each of us matters immensely. So be mighty, be bold, and grow. The world depends on it.
