The RED APPLES Way is a fast, highly entertaining read. The author uses his personal and professional stories to give the reader insight into his entrepreneurial journey while never losing sight of his values. The reader will see how the struggles and accomplishments the author endured both tested and affirmed his values. At the same time, you can see how he evolved as a person and professional. The RED APPLES Way includes some interesting cameos, including me. If my name is familiar, it’s because – full disclosure – the author is my husband and I was along for the ride during much of the journey as documented in this book.

With as much objectivity as possible, I found The RED APPLES Way to be a refreshing reminder for any leader to lean on core values to guide them (and their team, if applicable). There are some business or leadership books that I refer to periodically when I need an attitude adjustment or to refocus. The RED APPLES Way is now one of them.

I loved this book!
This book follows the guiding principles of red apples business. I liked how each of the values applied to running a successful business, but they are also great nuggets for living a fruitful (pun intended) personal life.

One of my favorite things about this read was all of the stories Marc shared from his personal life, many of which involved local people and businesses in the central Florida area.

This book was a light, engaging and conversationally written read that I would recommend to anyone, especially a young entrepreneur or recent graduate looking to start their way in a professional world.
