This is the book I wrote for the person who is already building something and still knows something is off. And for the one who loves them and sees it before they can say it out loud.
A bottle rocket in the butt. A motorcycle wreck that cost me a body part. A marriage I nearly destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. A Jeep fire. Guns drawn at 2 AM. A marathon in the rain with my bride. Seventeen true stories from thirty years of getting it wrong and figuring out how to get it right.
Every story is followed by the lesson I actually learned and a three-step strategy you can run the same week you read it.
"Every word reads like a story coming from a buddy who is always down to jump on the couch, watch the game, and drop and do twenty. It's raw, honest, and vulnerable. Nowhere will you feel he is puffing up his chest or looking to impress you."

Seventeen true stories from thirty years of building, breaking, and rebuilding. The wreck. The fire. The marriage crisis. The 2 AM break-in.
The marathon Michelle and I ran in the pouring rain. Stories you don't forget, told the way one person tells another when nobody is performing.
Every chapter pulls a real lesson out of a real disaster. Not theory. Not borrowed wisdom. What actually worked, written by a guy who lived it and is still living it.
Easy to follow, actionable steps per chapter you can run the same week you read it. Not motivation. Not a worksheet.
Actual moves to make in your work, your marriage, and your own head, written by a coach who runs them himself.

Kevin Davis has been married to his bride Michelle for more than thirty years and has spent the last twenty-five of those years coaching men and couples through the wreckage and the rebuild. He is the founder of Maxed Out Man and Maxed Out Marriage, the creator of the Marriage Translator app, and the guy his friends call when their marriage is on fire or their business is upside down.
He holds degrees in Exercise Physiology and Business and has built and sold companies across health, fitness, technology, automotive, and coaching. He has been broke, burned, broken, and rebuilt. He almost lost his marriage. He nearly lost his life. And yes, the title of this book is literal.
What he hasn't lost is the conviction that a person can build a life worth living, a marriage worth fighting for, and a legacy worth leaving, no matter how far off the rails they've gotten.
He lives in Montana with Michelle, and two dachshunds who run the house.
