Accolades & Praise

“As a business leader, I have hungered for wisdom in many circumstances. Proverbs provides it. Dan and Drew bring to life this ageless guide and how you can lead conscientiously and courageously so that your company can flourish and perform.”

“The book of Proverbs teaches us to cry out for wisdom. That truth should be no different for our businesses than our daily life. Drew and Dan help drive that point home in Sharpen.”

Extended Synopsis

Sharpen: A Guidebook for Business Ownership and Adventures in Leadership bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern corporate application. Recognizing that business owners often rely on limited perspectives—such as market trends, intuition, or compromise—authors Dan Cooper and Drew Hiss argue that these tools, while valid, can result in dull overconfidence and poor decision-making. By applying the fundamental truths found in the book of Proverbs, the authors provide a framework for leaders to sharpen their edge.

Through a combination of real-world case studies, actionable business processes, and rigorous mental models, Sharpen helps leaders gain the clarity needed to accelerate growth and remove artificial limitations. The book offers a comprehensive approach to personal and professional development, equipping owners and CEOs with the tools to lead themselves, their organizations, their employees, and their communities with renewed purpose and wisdom.
