get it right.

No one can go back and make a new beginning, but anyone can
start today and make a new ending. Growing up on the South Side
of Chicago, Rodney faced incredible hardships in the foster care
system and coping with family drug problems and violence. But
through sheer determination and the support of some key mentors,
Rodney was able to reach for new heights as an entrepreneur and
a Yale University graduate.
A New Day One is Rodney’s story of triumph over adversity, filled
with valuable principles and life lessons that are sure to inspire
you into action. Whether you’re an inner-city youth or a high-networth
businessman, there’s something to be learned from Rodney’s
incredible story.
“Raised in the Chicago foster care system and now a Yale graduate, Rodney has written an honest intelligent and beautiful book that is destined to be an inspirational classic.”
