You have been blessed with being the leader of your family. You have been blessed to be the architect of your life.

How exactly does someone take on an identity or become something new? Where does someone begin building the life for their family they always dreamed of?

In a day and age where the world threatens to pull families apart, where relationships grow shallow, and the cultural mindset centers around self-interest, you might wonder: What can I do to help my family?

While many parents feel overwhelmed and helpless, Conor Gallagher reminds us that, with grace and grit, you must step up and lead your family. In this short, yet poignant and plain-spoken book, you will learn ways to free yourself from the stress and become the leader your family needs.

“You can’t outsource the design of your family’s ecosystem,” Gallagher reminds us.

By building your family’s life with intention and vision, aligning purpose with virtue, you can begin to shape a thriving life for your family. Because if you’re not leading your family, someone else will.

So it’s time to arise and begin.

You are the architect. You are the master builder.
