Fantastic Read

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

Momentum

Andy has momentum in so many facets of his life. He's worked hard to attain it and maintain it. There are lots of paths to choose in life, and one thing is certain... Andy's has been anything but ordinary. This book tells the long story and struggles behind the success we see on social media. It's packed with practical lessons, tips, and takeaways that just about anyone can benefit from told with the same humility and tone listeners of his podcast have come to know and expect.

Only thing missing

... is cold water on your heart. Andy doesn't bullshit, and doesn't malinger. This is the book for the vast majority of us that did a job, loved it then, and needed to move on. If you can't see the wall in your way, often but by you, pick up some new TTPs from Stumpf. Sometimes you only need to hear your own thoughts and conclusions from another speaker, since one of the biggest problems many of us face is self-doubt.

How do you eat a dinosaur? look inside to find out.

only marked down performance, because Andy reads his own writing like he is in front of class. great job, though.

recommend it to anybody that doesn't mind hearing a little about the life in service, in addition to the whole rest of the life lessons from the outside.

making mornings better

loved every aspect of the book. getting up in the morning listening for a while to set the tone of the day. to realize the obstacles are easy to overcome. learning more aspects of being "drownproof" in my leadership role

inspirational

I'm really not sure what to say maybe it wasn't quite as much as I'd hoped but it had a great message throughout the entire book definitely a recommended read for anybody trying to get there life together
