BETTER questions.

Marriage. Black love.

BETTER questions.

Most people pick a side. I cross-examine both.

01 / The Book

Hard truths. TOUGH conversations.

Hard truths. TOUGH conversations.

Hard truths. TOUGH conversations.

A book about love, marriage, and dating, and the certainty people sell around all three.

Across nine chapters and 132 Takes, Nic Nice puts the familiar scripts on the table and asks what happens when we stop defending a side long enough to examine it.

This isn’t a rulebook, and it isn’t recycled relationship advice. If you’ve ever been in the room where the argument is happening and wondered why no one is asking the harder question, this book asks it out loud.

About NIC Nice.

About NIC Nice.

Nic Nice on the mic. Nicolas Pinard Jr. on the page. A husband and father first, married for more than twenty years. Writer, podcaster, marketer, and founder next.

He writes and speaks about the parts of love, marriage, and dating that make people flinch. Not because the flinch is the point, but because that is usually where the real conversation is hiding.

Everything he builds runs on the same instinct: better questions, said out loud, in the rooms where they're getting avoided. The book is that instinct at full volume. The shows are that instinct in motion. LIFN and PME turn it on other people's problems: helping you find your voice, or making the moving parts of your life easier to manage.

Talking My Talk is his first book.
