Hey Dad…

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:

"Hey Dad...how do I do my taxes?" "Hey Dad...what's a deductible?" "Hey Dad...why is my car smoking?"

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:

Getting your first job (and keeping it) Budgeting like a pro-even if you hate spreadsheets Finding your first place without getting ripped off Navigating credit, cars, and career moves Building independence with confidence (and maybe fewer 2 a.m. Google searches)

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.
