Praise for 'Jack of All, Master of Self'
Master yourself.
In a world that demands men pick a lane, Jack of All, Master of Self makes the case for living wide, deep, and true. This book is a heartfelt invitation to rediscover manhood—not as a rigid stereotype, but as a multidimensional, purpose-driven journey.
Through stories of hard work, heartbreak, brotherhood, discipline, and faith, Ryley Silvernail shares the lessons he’s learned from jobs that broke his back, mentors who shaped his soul, and a dog named Willie who showed him what loyalty really means. From learning the value of silence to wrestling with addiction, this book speaks directly to men who want more—more meaning, more self-respect, more life.
Raw, honest, and deeply personal, this is not a guide to being the perfect man. It’s a call to become a whole one.
For every man who has ever felt stuck, sidelined, or sold short—this book is for you.
THE AUTHOR
Ryley Silvernail is a husband, craftsman, outdoorsman, and writer with a deep belief in doing things the hard way—on purpose. He’s built a life around fixing what’s broken, figuring things out one mistake at a time, and telling the truth about what it really takes to build something meaningful.
As the author of Jack of All, Master of Self, Ryley offers a personal reflection on identity, resilience, and what it means to live with purpose in a world determined to put men in a box. His speaking style is down-to-earth yet thought-provoking, weaving together humor, hard-earned wisdom, and practical lessons that audiences can carry into their own lives.
Ryley challenges listeners to think differently about success, work, and personal growth. He speaks to those who want more out of life than checking boxes—and encourages them to embrace challenges, take ownership of their mistakes, and create something real from the ground up.
When he’s not speaking or writing, Ryley can be found working with his hands, training his dog, or starting projects that probably should’ve had instructions.
