More Than a Book —
It’s a Movement

Lamell’s mission has always been simple:
To remind us that persistence isn’t just how we keep going — it’s how we grow stronger together.

Now, he’s bringing that mission directly to book clubs that are ready to lead the conversation on what it means to rise, lead, and persist.
