"Pat Williams is the godfather of front office executives. Over the years, he has taught me about staying positive during the ebbs and flows of life. I even have a saved voicemail he left me that I listen to when I need some encouragement. Pat is a special guy who anyone would benefit from hearing speak. This book has captured how making a way for others should be a priority for anyone trying to improve in sports, business, or life."

"In my mind, Pat Williams is one of the best leaders in the history of professional sports. He has enjoyed tremendous success in his career but remains extremely humble. We can all learn from his amazing career, and we will all be better if we are more like Pat. This book is a must read for anyone interested in a career in professional sports, or anyone interested in true, servant leadership. "

"Only occasionally in a lifetime do you meet a truly unique person and personality. I didn't know that when I first met Pat Williams back when I was a fledgling author, and he was the youngest general manager in pro sports.
But I was privileged to help Pat write his very first book, The Gingerbread Man. Now, more than 90 titles from him later, I understand what a privilege it was to work with him and become his friend. You couldn't do much better than to be like Pat. "

"Pat Williams is one of those people you meet and go, ' Wow, how does he do all of what he does? ' For John Simmons to put into words Pat's game plan for this earth life is awesome. We can use this information in our day-to-day lives. How to Be Like Pat Williams: The Amazing Life of a Waymaker maps it out for us why spirituality is important; why having a good daily attitude is important; why family is important, and the list goes on. I've read most of Pat's books and have talked to Pat often over the years. When I'm finished with one of his books, phone calls, or in person visits l feel uplifted. No negatives, just a vision of moving through life with positive energy. Congratulations to Pat and John on helping to make all of us better people! "
