Jacob Rowe was raised in poverty, shaped by violence, and forged in war. From the streets of Sandusky, Ohio, to combat missions in Afghanistan, he carried the weight of a world that told him he wouldn't make it. But this book isn't just about survival, it's about rising. With raw honesty and powerful insight, Jacob shares his journey from hardship to transformation: through war, fatherhood, failure, real estate, leadership, and ultimately, healing.

His story proves that no matter where you start, you can build a life of purpose, presence, and peace. This isn't a hero story. It's a human one. For anyone who's ever been underestimated, overlooked, or undone by life, this is your reminder: You can become more.
