"If the world went completely sideways from a zombie virus outbreak, and we had to put together a militia to save the human race, Andy Stumpf would be my top draft pick. Exceptional people that you can call friends are one of the most valuable resources in this life. They provide examples of how to conduct yourself in a way that you admire, and can aspire to. Their accomplishments fuel you with inspiration, and their thought process enhances your perspective. Andy is one of my favorite examples of this, and knowing him has made me a better man.

Life lessons

The simple breakdowns of the major points and life lessons. Andy doesn’t take himself too seriously. Feels relatable.

If you are a man in the 21st century, you need to listen to this.

Quite simply a must read if you want to be a better man. There are lots of books out there and this is just one of many. There are no new lessons here. There are very few new stories here as well. However, this particular arrangement of stories and lessons is in fact unique. What this book can teach is a lesson every man should take to heart at this time in our history.

There is a lack of strong teaching for men right now because society has been focusing on women for the past few decades. There is nothing wrong with that and to some extent it is correcting a wrong that has been acted on for millennia. But as with all things human, we have gone too far the other way. We find ourselves with weak men that are largely lost for a lack of leadership. That leadership is still there it just has remained quiet for good reason but also misguided reason for too long.

I am in no way comparing Mr. Stumpf’s book to some gym bro, Alpha dude empty lesson on toxic masculinity. What I am saying is this book is an every man struggle to do the right things for the right reasons. Respect your fellow men and your fellow women. Respect yourself foremost as a path to better respect for others. To keep your goals and your loves in the forefront when times get tough.

Buy the book. Read the book. Tell a friend. Call a loved one. Work hard and take care of those in your orbit.

Fantastic Read

Andy has a well thought out and articulated story. Great read and highly recommended for any and all readers.
