I'm going to be direct with you because that's the only way I know how to operate. My name is Andy Stumpf. I'm a retired Navy SEAL, host of the Cleared Hot podcast, and a friend of Montana Knife Company. On April 14th, my first book drops. It's called Drownproof: Eight Life Lessons to Keep Your Head Above Water.   Here's the situation: The New York Times Best Seller list is not a sales list. It's an editorial list. They decide who belongs and who doesn't, and they have a well-documented pattern of overlooking authors who don't fit the mold they prefer. I'm a military guy from Montana who builds things with his hands and speaks his mind. I am not a preferred customer. I don't say that to complain. I say it because you understand it. You support a knife company that was told a $300 American-made blade would never sell — built in a garage in Frenchtown by a guy who became a Master Bladesmith before he could drive. You've watched Josh and Brandon prove every doubter wrong by just being undeniable. That's the play here. I'm not asking the NYT to put me on their list. I'm asking you to help me sell so many books in launch week that they can't justify leaving me off. Drownproof isn't another Navy SEAL memoir. It's a book about accountability, discipline, fear, failure, and the decisions that actually shape your life. Jocko Willink wrote the foreword. Jack Carr called it required reading. Booklist said it's "not just another SEALs book but a manual for learning life's lessons."   I narrate the audiobook myself. If you've ever felt like the deck was stacked against you — at work, at home, in life — this book was written for you. And if you've ever wanted to send a message to a gatekeeper that their opinion doesn't matter as much as they think it does, buying this book during launch week is how you do it. ​ ;0i [Recipient Name], We're writing to you today to proactively address potential issues that may arise with your orders from [Company Name].
