Review

“I had the pleasure of working with Bob for many, many years, and have read hundreds of his inspirational messages. I have kept them in my desk drawer over the years and continue to pull them out to get a shot of motivation, inspiration, guidance and always a lift to my spirits. Every Monday we received a new message about how to be a better person, leader, parent, and husband. All of the messages are great....but the one that really stuck with me was ‘Family First.’ I was blessed for many years to have these weekly updates, and they helped me become the person I am today.”

"I have known Bob for a number of years and am very familiar with the work style and great wisdom he has brought to the business community. He is a man of the highest character and integrity, and the thoughts and messages he has shared over the years will be a valuable tool to people at all levels of the business structure. Well Built will be a valuable book for anyone wanting to live a life of quality."

“The word that immediately comes to mind to best describe Bob Buck’s weekly update is “inspirational.” It is a challenge to be inspirational, but to do it every week is extraordinary! If Bob can’t fire you up, I’d say your wood is wet. Every message from Bob took the highest moral ground. I will always be grateful for our close and enduring friendship.”
