There are books about money written by economists, and there are books about money written by people who have actually lived without it. This book belongs to the second category — and that difference matters. Danell Pugh writes from twenty-five years of hands-on leadership in logistics and operations, from building and running his own ventures, and from a life shaped by the same neighborhoods and culture this book is written for. What you're holding is not theory handed down from a boardroom. It's a set of tools built by someone who has had to make payroll, manage risk, and make decisions when the stakes were real. Read this book the way it was meant to be read — with a pen in hand, ready to act.
