Solid advice from a genuine person

Dang, I love this book. I discovered Trent Shelton while looking for a new podcast. He's so inspiring and easy to listen to. I'm well beyond being a young adult, but I still got a ton from this book. Love that he narrates it himself. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a bit of inspiration and good advice about life from a genuine person.

Amazing read!!!

Trent is just the BEST! I loved his first book so much, it literally changed my life. This one was just as amazing! He is so relatable and raw, like a good friend! His voice, and the way he reads is so inspiring and motivating! I never get bored listening to him speak! A must read for everyone-- all ages and all walks of life. He will help change your perspective. Sometimes we just need a friend to remind us of our potential and to change our outlook. Trent is that friend!
