Behind every strong man is a story, one built on long days, hard lessons, and the people who showed up when it mattered most. Your Name Is Your Currency is a memoir that captures this truth with honesty and heart, offering readers a glimpse into the world of skilled trades, personal transformation, and the power of brotherhood.
Andre “Gator” Daniels shares his journey from struggle to self-respect, guided by the men who taught him what real work, and real manhood, looks like. From journeymen who demanded precision to friends who reminded him that life should also have joy, each chapter becomes a lesson in humility, grit, and growth.
But what sets this book apart is its emotional core: a father writing to his sons. Daniels uses his own life, its highs and lows, to show them how to walk with integrity, keep their heads high, and treat their name like the currency it is. His message extends far beyond family. It reaches young men searching for guidance, workers who take pride in their craft, and anyone who has ever had to rebuild their life from the ground up.
This memoir speaks to the soul because it’s real. It reminds us that even in the toughest moments, brotherhood can lift us, work can shape us, and discipline can save us.
Now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Your Name Is Your Currency is more than a book, it’s a message worth sharing.
