Roy Wood Jr.

Well, now it's set up the way I want.

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

Now let's talk about the man of many fathers.

Man, I'm so proud of you for this book.

I know the purpose, the intent of the book, but I want to give you the floor, give you the mic to talk about why the book, why now, and the legacy that that's going to leave behind.

Because it is about to be a bestseller, just so you know.

Man, I appreciate it.

We'll see, as they say, prayerfully.

You know, I wrote the book because I wanted to kind of do a deep dive into who I am and why I am who I am.

Where did I get my values from?

What lessons instilled particular ideologies in me?

and leave that for my son to have whenever he's old enough and ready and wants to flip through it.

And hopefully in that, you find a little bit of yourself.

My dad died when I was 16, so a lot of guidance and mentorship and connection with men I innately sought out from any man that was around, be it a supervisor or a coach or an older comedian that I might have been opening for.

like those things all played a role for me in being a better man, like all of those people.

So the book is just a series of stories of just values.

It's a semi-memoir.

I can't talk about my life

I can't tell you about people in my life without talking about my life to a degree, but it's not a memoir of every little incident and thing that happened in my life.
