Stick with me, Boys: A Kiwi Bloke's Memoir of Farm Life, Family, and Foolhardy Adventures

Good decisions build a life.

Bad decisions build good stories.

Luckily for us, Ewen made plenty of both.

Growing up on a hardworking New Zealand farm, Ewen learned early that life rarely goes exactly to plan. Through farming, business ventures, travel, and long days working in remote mining camps, he discovered that experience is often the world's most stubborn teacher.

Sometimes the lessons came through success.

Told with dry humour and honest reflection, this book is a collection of stories from a life lived fully - mistakes included.

Because if there's one thing Ewen has learned, it's this:

You can read about wisdom in books.

Or you can learn it the hard way.
