USA TODAY BESTSELLER
Hey Dad… is the book I wish I had when I stepped into adulthood—and the one I wrote after years of getting calls from my kids that started with:
Adulthood doesn’t come with a manual, but this comes close.
I didn’t write this just as a dad of four—I wrote it as someone who’s learned (often the hard way) how to manage money, land jobs, rent apartments, fix things, and stay sane in the process. I also talked to 30+ experts—financial advisors, career coaches, entrepreneurs, even a NASCAR driver and Navy SEAL—to help bring their best real-world advice to the table.
This book is packed with practical tools, funny stories, and honest lessons about:
Hey Dad… isn’t just a guide. It’s a conversation. A pep talk. A toolkit. And a reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Start with a question.
Stay curious.
Learn from your mistakes.
And when in doubt—remember that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
