The purpose behind this book: What if your purpose wasn’t something you find—but something you build? What if it wasn’t hiding in a motivational seminar or a billionaire’s podcast—but sitting quietly between your haircut and your habits?

After 44 years in the hair business, cutting over half a million heads, listening to unfiltered conversations in the barbershop, and watching men of all backgrounds face their truths—I’ve come to one realization: most people aren’t chasing money. They’re chasing meaning.

This book is called Purpose: Money, Health, Happiness for a reason. Because these are the three pillars most men build their lives on. And yet, these are also the same three areas where most of us quietly struggle. We confuse money with worth. We react to health instead of building it. And we pursue happiness like it’s a prize we haven’t earned yet.

But here’s the truth from the chair level: you don’t need another vague theory. You need a mirror that talks back. A tool that helps you see where your time, energy, and passion are really going. And most importantly—you need a system that matches who you are, not who you’re pretending to be.

Inside this book, we’ll break down the real difference between passion and purpose—one is the fire, the other is the map. You’ll discover why some people grow after pain, while others freeze. You’ll learn how your character (what people see) and your personality (who you really are) must align. You’ll understand how your personal operating system—your paradigm—is built on geography, language, and time. And by the end, you’ll be able to diagnose your stress and treat it with the right book, the right habit, and the right mindset.

This isn’t a book of theories. It’s a book of strategies—seasoned by sweat, sharpened by scissors, and delivered with humor, clarity, and straight talk.

Whether you're a barber, a businessman, a father, or a man still figuring things out—Purpose is written for you.
