“ Stories of Overcoming and Resilience:
Written By Dan Weddle ”

About


Earned Wisdom: Stories of Overcoming and Resilience is the memoir of Dan Weddle, a former "blue-collar law enforcement guy" who navigated a challenging upbringing to become a successful technology CEO. The book chronicles his unlikely journey from working undercover narcotics and patrolling the streets of Memphis to leading a multimillion-dollar company using a "people-first" leadership philosophy.

However, the heart of the story lies in Dan's resilience following the devastating loss of his son, Peyton, in a car accident in 2016. Dan opens up about the trauma of that loss, the shock of being betrayed by a close friend who committed fraud against his son's memorial foundation, and his struggle with PTSD.

Ultimately, Earned Wisdom is a call to action for men to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Dan shares how he learned that "it's okay not to be okay" and offers a roadmap for readers to turn their own pain into purpose, proving that while we cannot control tragedy, we can control how we respond to it.
