Synopsis

#1 New York Times Bestseller

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bare Bones, host of the marquee morning program “The Bobby Bones Show,” comedian and dedicated philanthropist delivers an inspirational and humorous collection of stories about his biggest misses in life and how he turned them into lessons and wins. 

Bobby Bones is the youngest inductee ever into the National Radio Hall of Fame alongside legends Dick Clark, Larry King, and Howard Stern. As "the most powerful man in country music" (Forbes), he has reached the peak of his profession and achieved his childhood dreams. Each weekday morning, more than five million fans tune in to his radio show.

But as Bobby reveals, a lot of what made him able to achieve his goals were mistakes, awkward moments, and embarrassing situations—lemons that he turned into lemonade through hard work and humility. In this eye-opening book, he’ll include ideas and motivations for finding success even when seemingly surrounded by impossible odds or tough failures. He also includes anecdotes from some of his famous friends—Andy Roddick, Chris Stapleton, Charlamagne Tha God, Charles Esten, Brooklyn Decker, Walker Hayes and Asa Hutchinson—who open up about their own missteps.

Bobby’s mantra is Fight. Grind. Repeat. A man who refuses to give up, he sees failure as something to learn from—and the recollections in this funny, smart book, full of Bobby’s brand of self-effacing humor, show how he’s become such a beloved goofball.

About this title

About the Author

Inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame as the youngest honoree ever, Bobby Bones has been dubbed “the most powerful man in country music” by Forbes. His nationally syndicated radio show, The Bobby Bones Show, reaches millions of listeners weekly on more than one hundred stations and recently garnered its third Academy of Country Music Award for National On-Air Personality of the Year, also earning a 2017 Country Music Association Award for National Broadcast Personality of the Year. When he’s not on the air, Bones is performing stand-up comedy for sold-out audiences, sitting down with country’s biggest stars for his own podcast, The BobbyCast, or hitting the road with his comedy band, Bobby Bones and The Raging Idiots. Additionally, he appeared on ABC’s American Idol as the mentor to the Top 24 contestants. His memoir, Bare Bones, landed at #1 on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. 

From the Back Cover

How Do You Win? You Lose a Few Times Along the Way.

Bobby Bones doesn’t do anything halfway. When he launched his career in radio, he didn’t stop until he had one of the most beloved morning shows in the entire country, the nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Show. When he decided he wanted to pursue a career in stand-up comedy, he immediately planned a massive tour in sizable venues, instead of honing his set in small clubs first. When he started his music career, again he dove right in, scheduling dates all over the country. And with his first book, Bare Bones, Bobby traveled nonstop to meet his fans and his book landed at the top of bestseller lists across the country.

But—and there’s a big but here—along the way there have been some epic failures, some embarrassing disasters, some confidence killers, and some total misfires. With each of these setbacks, Bobby has fallen back on the mantra that gets him through, the one he uses to propel himself forward and that has carried him from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, and his troubled childhood to today’s success:

Fight. Deciding what it is you really want; setting your goals; and strategizing and taking the first steps toward that goal.

Grind. Never missing a detail; always being ready and on call; and doing the work no matter how tired, sick, or over it you feel.

Repeat. Having the patience, resources, and resilience to keep doing the same thing over and over until you get what it is you really want.

In Fail Until You Don’t, Bobby Bones shares his stories of failures turned to wins, as do some of his famous friends, including Andy Roddick, Governor Asa Hutchinson, Chris Stapleton, his cohost Amy, Charlamagne Tha God, and many more. Full of the humor, humility, and charm that makes Bobby who he is, Fail Until You Don’t is a look into what makes him tick and will inspire you to Fight, Grind, and Repeat for what you believe in, too.
