“As a leader, I found Chad and Ryan Estis’s book to be both enlightening and inspiring. Their deep understanding of sales dynamics and leadership principles shines through every chapter. Reading this book is a transformative experience that will leave you equipped to tackle any business challenge with confidence.”

Michael Yormark, President of Roc Nation Sports International

“Being in the unique position of having a front-row seat for the Estis brothers’ college years and early-career exploits, I can say their experience is not uncommon. Having shared their experience of navigating the transition from college to the corporate world and now meeting with upcoming graduates, I can say the fear of the unknown and lack of a clear playbook continues today. The beauty of Prepare for Impact is that it offers meaningful insight for a student preparing to transition, a young professional navigating their first stages of their career, and a thirty-plus-year veteran like me who needs to attract, develop, and mentor the teams of the future for our organization. Beyond the great utility of the book, it is also a great American story. It is truly a must-read!”

Sam Chamberlain, Chief Operating Officer, FIVE GUYS

Prepare for Impact is grounded in actual life lessons and translates as clear, approachable, and easy to understand while still being thought-provoking and honest about the future. Ryan has been a sage advisor to my companies and a thought-leader to our constituents. He’s unarguably one of the best futurists and experts in the marketplace and this book is a must-read!”

Julie Faupel, Founder and CEO, REALM

“In this book, the Estis brothers provide a strategic roadmap that should be required reading for business leaders at every level. The truth is that drive, commitment, tactics, and aggressiveness simply aren’t enough. The common denominator for true success and fulfillment in the global business world today can only be found in winning cultures built on a foundation of ethics, teamwork, and true servant leadership. Sadly, this simple but crucial formula has been lost in much of business today, and the Estis brothers serve as a rare and strong beacon example to follow. They are leaders with a strong vision—and strong values—and this important book lights the way for future generations.”

Jim Wilkinson, executive chairman, TrailRunner International
