Real Men: Lead Authentically
REAL Men: How to Thrive with Your Tribe Paperback – May 17, 2026
by Robert Epperly (Author)
REAL Men: How to Thrive with Your Tribe is a call to authentic, purpose-driven manhood in a world that often distorts what it means to be a man. Drawing from real-life experiences, military principles, leadership lessons, and faith-based truths, Robert Epperly challenges men to reject isolation, passivity, and false identities, and instead embrace strength, responsibility, and intentional living.
At its core, this book emphasizes that no man is meant to go it alone. Thriving men operate within a “tribe”, a circle of accountability, brotherhood, and shared growth. Through practical insights and relatable stories, readers are guided to build meaningful relationships that sharpen character, strengthen resolve, and create lasting impact.
REAL Men equips readers with tools to lead themselves first, then lead others with clarity, courage, and consistency. It explores key areas such as identity, discipline, leadership, integrity, and legacy helping men align their daily actions with their deeper purpose. Each chapter is designed to not only inform but challenge and inspire transformation.
This book speaks directly to men at every stage, whether they are striving to become better husbands, fathers, leaders, or mentors. It also serves as a powerful resource for small groups, veteran communities, and leadership development settings, encouraging open conversation and personal growth.
Ultimately, REAL Men is about more than individual success, it is about building a life that matters, influencing others positively, and leaving a legacy that endures. It calls men to rise above cultural expectations and step fully into who they were created to be—strong, accountable, connected, and committed to leading with purpose.
A FACTional Book by Robert Epperly
Adolf Hitler is widely recognized as one of the worst leaders in history. His Third Reich is responsible for the genocide of countless human lives to include six million Jews. The Nazi regime manufactured the Holocaust along with other mass human atrocities on a scale not previously seen. It was their intention to rid the world of certain ethnicities to create the perfect human race.
They had advanced engineering and weapons, and this propelled their success in the blitzkrieg model. Most Allies were not prepared to combat against this tactic and had to catch up with the Wehrmacht at the onset of WWII.
It was Hitler's intention to create a one-thousand-year Reich, but he failed. This book dives into Hitler's alternative plan to secure his thousand-year reign. Could having a son with Eva Braun before they died in April 1945 be the catalyst to continue his pursuit of perfection? How could this child have safely gotten out of Nazi Germany? Could he follow the ratlines so many other Nazis used? Who could Adolf Hitler trust with such an important task? If this child did escape, where did he go, and where is he now? What would the Mossad say about this child if they learned of his existence?
All of these questions and more will be answered when you read The Last Secret of WWII.

Robert Epperly's First Leadership Book
The year is 2014, and RMT Technologies is still an industry leader, though they're no longer number one in many of the markets, as they had experienced over the past decade. The company has been family-owner and operated over the past fifty years while being led by patriarch and founder the entire time. During this time, there have been many ups and downs, more downs recently than ups and now the board of directors are beginning to talk about a potential change needed at the top. The speculation from the board has been that maybe it is time they bring someone in with a fresh perspective to push the company outside their comfort zone so they can make real progress.
Taylar Wilson Smith assumed the role of CEO from her father, John, a little more than a year ago...
