About the Book
Brotherhood Beyond Business is a parable that follows Sam Sutton — a man who looks successful on the outside, but is slowly losing himself on the inside.
Through mentorship, brotherhood, and the 10 Domains framework, Sam learns to rebuild his marriage, health, business, and identity.
It’s a story written for men who want more than success — they want purpose, leadership, and a life they’re proud of.
Why I Wrote This Book
I spent years building businesses, coaching entrepreneurs, and appearing “successful” — while quietly wondering why success still felt empty.
Like Sam, I had to learn that life isn’t built purely around business. It’s built around your marriage, your health, your purpose, your faith, your brotherhood, and the legacy you leave behind.
This book is a reflection of that journey — not just mine, but the journey of every man who knows there’s more to life than hustle.
Who This Book Is For
Men who feel alone at the top
Entrepreneurs whose life is out of balance
Husbands and fathers who want to lead better
Men searching for direction and purpose
Anyone who wants a story that challenges them to grow
Inside Sam Sutton’s Journey
Sam is a 35-year-old entrepreneur feeling the pressure of success.
On the outside, he’s doing well.
On the inside, he’s drifting.
Through the Brotherhood Beyond Business, he learns how to:
rebuild his marriage
reclaim his physical health
find mentorship
discover real accountability
grow as a leader
build a life, not just a company
How This Book Connects to the 10 Domains of Life
The book mirrors the 10 Domains framework I teach inside Brotherhood Beyond Business — from Physical Dominance to Deep Relationships to Wealth Ascendancy.
Sam’s journey is a story-form version of the same principles I use to help men become the CEOs of their own lives.
