Wes speaking about “RISE” the book during an interview in Dallas Texas recently:

“This book is the opening shot of the veteran uprising. I want US Military veterans in positions of power throughout business and politics across this country. I personally feel that there is a passive mentality of veterans today: Please sir, can I have a job… Please sir, can I have some VA benefits. Quit asking with your hand out because when you do that, you relinquish your power and give it to someone else. Go out there and take what you’ve earned! If you don’t make the most out of your life starting right now, then you are squandering the gift that our brothers and sisters that have fallen have given to us with their sacrifice. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from running your own successful company, hiring other veterans and elevating our place. All you need is the road map and I hope that this book will help you take your first steps.”
