Sweet Pecan Pie by Drew Dusebout Book Spotlight!

Sweet Pecan Pie (Ballast Books; July 16^th, 2024) by Drew Dusebout is a delicious July title about finding joy in a purposeful life.  

 

Drew Dusebout’s grandmother-in-law never made the same pie more than once. Her sweet pecan pie was a little different each time, but it was always delicious. 

 

In Sweet Pecan Pie, Drew encourages you to discover the recipe for your best life. His stories will open your heart to experiences, adventures, and people you normally wouldn’t consider. 

From orphanages in Ukraine to the jungles of Honduras to remote villages in Africa, Drew’s life became sweeter each time he said “yes” to the opportunities provided. Instead of clinging to society’s recipe for a good life, he found his own recipe. 

The best version of your life is like a delicious piece of pecan pie. Shared in a fun, whimsical vignette style with a bit of pop culture thrown in, Drew's writings will inspire you to experiment with your ingredients and have fun finding your perfect slice

Drew has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. He ran a paper route as a young boy, started his own business selling cowboy hats as a teenager, was instrumental in building out a new niche in the financial services industry after graduating college, and co-founded Hands4others (H4O)–A movement to rise up young people to help solve the world’s water crisis as a parent.

Under Drew’s leadership, H4O helped hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the get sustainable access to safe water. It provided thousands of teenagers an opportunity to learn servant leadership and join a global cause that saved lives and is a key component to breaking the poverty cycle in much of the world. 

Drew has led H4O youth leaders on numerous trips to developing countries to see firsthand the fruit of their efforts and help local communities gain access to safe drinking water. 

He has served as the Board Chair for both El Montecito School and Providence School in Santa Barbara and has been a guest speaker with an emphasis on leadership, finances and entrepreneurship at local high schools as well as Westmont College

Drew has taken his passion to think out of the box and his love of adventure to promote change, serve and lead in a variety of ways. Whether it be with his family, in his business life, or in the community he is busy mentoring, coaching, challenging, and supporting people of all ages and organizations who dream of having their greatest impact on the world. 

He currently sits on the board of Calvary Chapel in Santa Barbara and his first book, Sweet Pecan Pie: Grab Your Slice and Say Yes to a Life Full of Joy, Purpose, and Adventure is being released this summer.

In Sweet Pecan Pie, Drew shares his personal story and the people and experiences that have impacted him the most as way to inspire readers to live their best life, a life that counts. He challenges us with the big, important questions such as:

 

At the core, what is life about?

• Playing it safe and being comfortable or taking risks and living an adventure with others in mind? 

• Getting more stuff or giving away more stuff?

• Success and recognition or significance and service?

•
