ABOUT THE BOOK

Drawing from decades of real-world experience, Mike Boza explores how to build character, develop emotional resilience, and cultivate purpose and motivation. These lessons were forged in locker rooms, classrooms, long team van rides, difficult conversations, and the everyday choices that shape a young man's life.

Rather than abstract theories or sweeping cultural solutions, Launch Codes offers practical wisdom that helps move boys from potential to purpose.
