“We’ve come a long way in our society where we undeniably recognize the value and impact fathers have in the lives of children, families and our country. Fatherhood, in all its value, is still an everyday work in progress.
Through great story telling, unique experiences, Devon Bandison, with each chapter holding our attention, takes us on his journey of life lessons, pain & joys of fatherhood, learning that his destiny of being the best father he can be was defined by his sense of self, purpose, leadership & success.
Never before has there been a playbook for fathers that connects directly to our leadership, gives us a guide towards success, a better life for ourselves and children – until now.”

“This is so much more than a book. It’s more like a literary work of art that doubles as an annihilator of old school paradigm. When they talk about, say, the “works of Alan Watts” well, this is one of the works of Bandison. It’s simultaneously hilarious, hip, tear-jerking, inspirational and life altering. And it could only be crafted by someone who has clearly committed years of his life to deep healing and personal and spiritual growth. I’m not a father. And yet I had absolutely no difficulty finding personal significance in the lessons that Devon so masterfully conveys through his remarkable litany of entertaining stories. This is a must read, especially for fathers, but certainly not only fathers – for everyone. Props to you, Lil Boogie!”

“Thank you, Devon Bandison, for giving all fathers – and the mothers and children who love and depend on them – a great gift with this wonderful book. It’s filled with heart-felt and hard-won wisdom that is as practical as it is profound. Bandison shows by example how he’s striving to live the life of a passionate and reflective learner. His fearless search for knowledge, mainly about who he is, has enabled him to be a dedicated and generous teacher, converting the lessons of his experience into tools any father can use to become the leader he wants to be.”

Devon Bandison’s underlying theme throughout Fatherhood Is Leadership is that overcoming each of these challenges starts and ends with us. Bandison uses his own life story to share the tools that he has developed in himself to become the man and father he envisioned. His life experiences and proactive approach will benefit dads of all stripes.”
