MORE FROM THE   MAN > BRAND

(Excerpts from The Man is Greater Than the Brand)

"We often let people's perception of who they think we should be based on where we come from, how we look, and what we should sound like dictate how we show up in the world. In doing so, we neglect our own journey of self-discovery, and personal development. From a somewhat troubled high schooler to a nationally renowned football player--Richard shares the expectations that he and others placed on him as well as relationships and circumstances that were working behind the scenes."  -RYAN SCHACHTNER, CEO OF A MUST WIN. 

"Richard's vulnerability and transparency are woven in throughout this book. Society places pressure on men to conform to a certain masculine ideal, which can lead to a lack of authenticity. Yeargin calls out and challenges toxic behaviors- safeguarding men against trauma and underachievement." -ASA T. BRIGGS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PSYCHIATRIST.
