Never make long-term decisions based on short- term circumstances. There will be moments in your life where it will seem as though the proverbial sky is falling. However, more than ever it is during times like this where you must remain levelheaded and pragmatic. What began as a temporary rough spot is often artificially prolonged due to impulsive and short- sighted decision making. —an Exerpt from Page 15 ”

W illis is the Director of Global Logistics and Planning at Luma Home, a tech compa- ny in Midtown Atlanta focusing on whole home wi-fi and smart home solutions. When asked what should father’s and fathers-to-be get out of reading this book, he stated, “My hope is that this book will equip father, fathers-to-be and sons alike with practical, real world advice aimed at helping to create a generation of men who will be compassionate, strong and well-rounded achievers.” “Being a man is hard, being a father is even harder. Where do you turn for advice or help on raising a young man? Some of us have the benefit of having strong male figures in our life that helped guide us along our journey to becoming

men, but what about those brothers who were not so lucky? Who do they turn to? My sincere hope is that ‘Son, Listen’ will provide these fathers and young men with an easy to read resource that can help supplement their own areas of expertise.” When asked about the advice moved his wife to encourage him to publish this text for others, he stated “My wife was in- strumental in me publishing this book for the masses. Upon reading the completed manuscript she was very moved by the amount of practical advice included and even more so by the short and concise manner in which I organized the content to accommodate the shorter attention spans that are often characteristic of our young people. Furthermore, my wife taught seventh and eighth grade boys in an inner city, Title I school in Memphis

for five years and the lack of practical, real world knowledge that many of us take for granted was sadly very common amongst a large portion of her students. In encouraging me to take this book to the masses my wife felt readers, young readers specifically like those she taught back in Memphis could benefit substan- tially from having this pocket resource to turn to whenever needed.” Now, we have Son, Listen for every- one to benefit from this practical, perhaps even life-changing tips for the reader.
