A Message from Scott
I did not write this book because I had it all figured out.
I wrote it because for most of my life I did not. And I spent decades watching men around me, men I respected, men I loved, disappear behind the same performance I was putting on. Capable on the outside. Completely unreachable on the inside.
I have spent over 30 years helping men communicate better in boardrooms and sales calls. What I did not expect was that the hardest conversation I would ever have to teach a man to have was the one with himself.
Small-Town Has-Been is the book I wish someone had handed me. Not because it has all the answers, but because it is honest about what the questions actually cost. The fatherlessness. The infertility. The silence that felt like strength and turned out to be a slow disappearance.
If you are the man who is still waiting for permission to speak up, this book is that permission.

F@ck Silence, I Choose Happiness
About The Author...
Scott Wiederhold spent 30 years teaching men how to close deals. What he did not expect was that the same skills that make a great salesperson, listening, empathy, honest communication, were the exact skills most men had never been taught at home.
His forthcoming memoir, Small-Town Has-Been: F@ck Silence, I Choose Happiness, is the book he wishes someone had handed him decades ago. It is for every man who has been performing fine for so long he has forgotten what real feels like, and for every woman who loves him and does not know how to reach him anymore.
