For years, strangers and family alike have compared me to favoring several celebrities including Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Donald Faison, and Tyler Perry. I’m usually dumbfounded by these compliments, and while they’re flattering, I made this post to prove that I don’t resemble any of these celebrities. So, what’s your take? Leave a comment below!
L-R: Cuba Gooding, Jr., Terrence Howard, Donald Faison
I’m in just as much shock as you about the image over yonder — A book with my name on it. I’m still in disbelief. So, how did this happen anyway? I’ll explain:
1. I noticed an e-mail from a publisher seeking story ideas for a new book project
2. I submitted a story
3. The publisher contacted me
4. The publisher asked if I’d be interested in writing the book
5. I agreed
6. I wrote the book
7. It’s releasing in June
What you should know is that without this blog, I probably wouldn’t have a book deal. The publisher read more than just my blog entry about fighting a multi-billion dollar company for 2,300 shareholders. They also read entries about the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, and many other topics I’m passionate about. The very nature of Stick It To The Man is all about leveling the playing field between us ‘regular folks’ and those in government and corporate America. It was a great fit for everyone.
So, in addition to appearing on primetime TV, being interviewed by major press outlets, learning from extraordinary people, hanging out with celebrities in Hollywood, catching the ear of billionaires, teaching myself software design, interviewing cool people, and making a lot of great mistakes, I can also now add a book to my wonderful life experiences.
The only reason I can say I’ve had these experiences is because I’ve never denied myself the opportunity to experience them! The key is that I always believed in my ability to ascend obstacles and challenges to seize the moment.
If I can land a book deal, anyone can!
Update: Overwhelmed by the hundreds of downloads of this phone call — There are people who care about seeing an end to the Federal Reserve
Right or wrong, my plea for transparency at the Federal Reserve was ignored by Ben Bernanke’s office and its Office of Public Affairs during a recent call on March 5, 2009. In a series of calls I will share here on my blog, I want the American people to understand for themselves why Ron Paul and others are calling for transparency of the Fed to audit its books, policies, and more.
The Federal Reserve is a highly secretive organization that has orchestrated many of America’s darkest events in its history, including the Great Depression. More Americans need to be made aware of this sinister entity and the role it plays in modern day slavery — Yes, slavery!

I am very happy to announce a preliminary list of cities selected to support the forthcoming North American “Stick It To Man” tour. I’m looking forward to hitting the road and talking about my new book, connecting with the people and sharing their stories with the world!
