We don’t talk enough about the quiet unraveling that can happen in a man’s life—not from failure, but from fatigue. Not from disaster, but from disconnection.
You’re Not Done Yet was born in that space.
It’s a book for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s—and beyond—who wake up one day and realize the life they built is not the life they meant to live. For the man who has succeeded on paper but feels invisible in his own story. For the man who has loved and lost. Tried and failed. For the one carrying shame he never unpacked, dreams he quietly buried, or a voice he stopped trusting.
I wrote this book because I’ve lived it.
And because no one handed me a roadmap for what comes after the first dream dies.
A Call, A Chapter, A Second Wind
The first chapter began with a real phone call—from a friend named Kevin. A man fighting cancer. A man who reminded me I wasn’t done yet, even though I felt lost. He invited me to his table. Literally and metaphorically. That moment became the spark for this entire book. It reminded me of something we all need to hear:
There is still work to do. Still life to live. Still light ahead.
Each chapter in the book is a different movement:
- The Long Ache of Quiet Doubt
- The Weight of Legacy
- The Second Call
- When Faith Finds You Again
- Brotherhood, Not Competition
But they’re not lectures. They’re letters. Stories. Honest reflections of what it means to rebuild your life not at the beginning—but at halftime.
Who This Book Is For
It’s for the man standing quietly in the garage, wondering when he stopped being proud of who he sees in the mirror.
It’s for the man who doesn’t talk about what hurts.
It’s for the man who wonders if he’ll ever feel joy again.
And it’s especially for the man who is still showing up for everyone else, but no longer knows how to show up for himself.
You won’t find clichés here. You’ll find honesty. Grace. And hopefully, a new breath of purpose.
A Quiet Motto: “Make the Best of the Rest”
That’s the phrase my wife Melody and I live by—and it’s written between the lines of this entire book.
The first half of life may not have gone how you planned. But the second half? That’s where the light gets in.
