Prepare for Impact

“An entertaining read full of practical sales and leadership insight that can help you win. More importantly, Ryan and Chad offer perspective on what matters most—family, friendship, relationships, and enjoying the journey with people you respect and love.” Jesse Itzler, entrepreneur, author of Living With a SEAL

“In a country thirsty for leadership, Prepare for Impact delivers! Chad and Ryan’s insatiable passion for leadership will have you wanting to run out of the tunnel! Bravo!” Frank Pacetta, author, Don’t Fire Them, Fire Them Up

“Chad and Ryan are the perfect combination to write a breakthrough book in such an important field. Ryan’s content is outstanding and is often cited by our sales team. Chad is simply the most impressive sales and business leader that I’ve encountered in professional sports. He’s been a mentor to me and so many other folks in the industry. The Estis brothers focus on being authentic and high-integrity leaders in Prepare for Impact. In a world where most sales books are about tactics to hit near-term goals, this focus is so dearly needed. A must-read for the next generation of leaders.” Russ D’Souza, co-founder, SeatGeek

“I have had the privilege to witness the execution of the 30 Steps and 9 Tactics outlined in this book from a front-row seat. The beauty lies within the simplicity, which has resulted in the transformation of countless careers, franchises around the globe, and growth of the entire business of sports. Following the lessons within will lead to a lifetime of success, and, more importantly, help develop meaningful relationships, which is the true driver of joy.” Mike Ondrejko, President of Global Sales, Legends

“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
