To close the second month of 2021 readings, here goes a very special title, the best of this year so far in my opinion: Daddy Muscles by Dylan Stafford.
I was waiting to have the chance to read this book, and finally, as I prepare to apply for the MBA programs in the U.S. I put this book on my list to know more about the Dean of the FEMBA program at UCLA Anderson himself, Dylan Stafford. I know him since I started my UCLA Extension Certificate Program, after taking part in a couple of recruiting events at UCLA Anderson (either as a guest or working for UCLA Catering), and from his Podcast - DRIVE TIME. (https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/degrees/fully-employed-mba/culture/drive-time-podcast).
I knew this book was about having a baby and being a dad, something I am far from right now, but I wanted to know about Dylan's story, and, honestly, I surprised me a lot. It exceeded my expectations. I was waiting to read about changing diapers and all, but what I got was a piece of his biography, and, for real, what a inspiring story! He writes about his life as a student at A&M Texas, his Siemens manager position, some insights about sobriety and, of course, getting married and building a family. What caught my attention was his proximity to his faith by converting to Catholicism and how this guided him through his life changes.
I think I read this book in like 3 days, so aficionado I was about this reading, so I strongly recommend for you to read that too if you are interested in inspiration, motivation and overcoming obstacles for evolving in life. I already ordered his next book and I can't wait to read it!
