Description: "Before he was one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" and a comedy sensation followed by millions, Kountry Wayne found few legit options for a poor Black man coming from a small-minded country town in Georgia. For many years he turned to running his own game, but thankfully friends and family (and one patient probation officer) convinced him that he had talent beyond hustling. Once he began posting short sketches based on his on-the-nose Southern Black truths, wildly funny observations, and inspirational guidance, he became an almost overnight hit. Now a proud father of ten, Kountry Wayne is on a mission to give back. By sharing his seemingly impossible story, he hopes to help others see that no matter where you started from or how marginalized you feel right now, the possibilities for living a rich, full life are limitless"--
Review Quotes: "Something Wayne learned on his own, that I believe in strongly is that you have to build your career with love--as something you nourish. You birth it, you raise it, you treat it like a baby or a beloved pet that you care for unconditionally and that will care for you back." --Cedric The Entertainer
"Kountry Wayne's story of success as a person, a father, and an entrepreneur may seem miraculous but he shows his cards and shares rock solid lessons that we can all put to use." --Antwone Fisher, author of Finding Fish, screenwriter, activist "My favorite lesson that Mr. Colley, father of ten kids, includes in this spiritual blueprint for turning dreams into reality is the one that teaches you to remember it's not so much what you do but who you do it for." --Chris Gardner, author of Pursuit of Happyness and Start Where You Are
