About the Author Steve Graves is a strategist, CEO advisor, and author.
It\'s not a study guide or a one-size-fits-all program, but this very personal account of the investments Steve made with Kile provides a blueprint for other Fathers who are on a similar journey.
Each chapter includes a story that drives home a specific deposit, followed by key insights to consider and questions to ask and answer. 41 Deposits shares the lessons Steve felt were important to him and his son so that other Fathers and sons can learn and apply those lessons to their own lives and relationships.
The regular, honest, uncut Conversations about life, relationships, and work provided a unique opportunity to strengthen the integrity of their father-son relationship.
But he knew if the deposits were made, Kile would have opportunities to put them to use.
Steve wasn\'t looking for an immediate, radical transformation in his son.
Then he and Kile discussed those lessons over bagels while meeting regularly over the next three years.
So, Steve Graves began a personal journal about the critical lessons he wanted to share with his son.
