About the Book

Build Your Foundation

Making it in America feels more elusive than ever. How can the working class navigate this chaotic landscape while staying true to our values and building a legacy we can be proud of? It’s time to place front and center the principles that once led the way: hard work, integrity, and resilience.

A Working Man’s Guide is a value-driven roadmap for working men seeking to thrive in their careers, relationships, and personal lives. Mark Teague draws on his remarkable path from farmhand to executive and business owner to give a framework for problem-solving rooted firmly in time-honored ethics and practical advice.

“In a world inundated with noise from both left and right “news”/political systems, Mark Teague brings us a thoughtful book anchored in timeless principles – principles by which he still lives after a distinguished international career.

A WORKING MAN’S GUIDE is just that: a guide to a principled, practical response to the fundamental issues all working men and women face. Written by one who has spent his life in the arena of the working man, this book is not theory. It provides proven guidance by which to live wisely and effectively in today’s world.”
