For Those Who Serve

Promoting Veteran Empowerment Begins With Understanding The Challenges

Economic empowerment requires much more than understanding how to manage money and save for retirement–it is achieved through sound understanding and management of major life choices regarding education, career management, financial literacy and entrepreneurship.  Soldiers, veterans and their families face unique circumstances in all four of these areas given their decision to serve.  They will have different educational opportunities, different career trajectories which likely include frequent moves and a career transition from service, different financial circumstances such as health insurance, life insurance, taxes, and retirement benefits, and they often have the life experiences and character attributes required for successful entrepreneurship.

While relevant for all Americans, Family Inc. was specifically written to serve as a valuable resource for our service members, veterans and their families in their unique journey to economic empowerment.  Given this mandate, Doug has written and lectured extensively on this topic and partnered with numerous veteran service organizations with complementary mandates relating to education, career transition, financial well being, entrepreneurship and community engagement to raise money, donate books, or create content to promote economic empowerment.

Family Inc. is not a ‘how to’ book – it is a ‘how to think’ book that empowers the reader to take control of their family’s finances.

James Schenck, CEO, Pentagon Federal Credit Union

Personal finance books have always had a problem. The people who know what they are talking about can't write. And the people who can write are often charlatans. Not any longer. Family Inc delivers something that families across the country desperately need: a clear, accessible guide to making financial decisions based on the best available data and research. No gimmicks, no get-rich schemes--just sensible and intellectually honest guidance for making good financial decisions at every stage of life.

Charles Wheelan, Author Naked Economics and Naked Statistics, Professor at Dartmouth

Family Inc. provides a fresh perspective for the important financial decisions that families face at each stage of their lives. I particularly like the chapters on career choices and on family budgeting. Readers will learn how to approach personal budgeting and investment decisions as dispassionately as any business would.

Richard C. Marston, Author of Portfolio Design and Investing for a Lifetime

By taking a different perspective--seeing a family's full financial situation the way an experienced private equity investor would--McCormick shows us how to appreciate the full range of our choices and opportunities as a family 'CFO'. Family Inc. is an easy read which offers a solid blue print for making sound financial decisions.

Charles D. Ellis, Author of Winning the Loser's Game and The Elements of Investing

Financial illiteracy is not only an individual problem; it is a threat to our national welfare and global competitiveness. In today’s word, it’s more important than ever for individuals and families to understand how to create financial independence and security. Family Inc. offers a new perspective on personal financial security, applying time tested business principles to real-world family situations.

35th U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Former Chairman and CEO of the Kellogg Company

McCormick makes a compelling case that at some level we are all entrepreneurs—selling our labor and skills like any business owner. Most importantly, Family Inc. provides actionable advice on how to maximize the value of your labor through education, career choice, and skill development while combining it with your capital to achieve financial independence.

Patricia Greene, Paul T Babson Chair in Entrepreneurial Studies
