Publisher's Synopsis
Sharp on Purpose: Dressing for the Life You Were Meant to Lead
By Darryl J. Gordwin
This isn't a book about fashion-it's a manual for manhood.
In a world flooded with filters, fake flexing, and plastic pride, Sharp on Purpose is a soul-shaking wake-up call to every man who's tired of just looking the part and is ready to start living with purpose, presence, and power.
Author and mentor Darryl J. Gordwin doesn't just challenge men to press their shirts-he calls them to press into discipline, destiny, and divine design. Whether you were raised with suits or scars, this book will reshape how you view:
✅ What you wear before you speak
✅ How to walk like you already belong there
✅ Why confidence isn't ego-it's alignment
✅ How to survive when all you've got is a garden
✅ The difference between dressing for show... and dressing for survival
With raw wisdom, spiritual depth, and unforgettable metaphors, Sharp on Purpose is filled with legacy lessons passed down from a grandfather's closet to the streets, the field, and the fire of real life.
This book is for the man who:
Feels overlooked but overqualified
Knows there's more in him but needs clarity to pull it out
Is ready to lead, mentor, and leave a legacy that can't be erased
Wants to be respected when he walks in the room-and remembered after he leaves it
If you've ever asked,
"How do I show up when the world is trying to dress me down?"
this book is your answer.
You weren't made to blend in.
You were made to be Sharp on Purpose.
Now walk like it.
