Publisher's Summary

Master the Key is the story of Steve, a very successful adviser at Outlier Capital. He began his career with the intention of having a meaningful impact on others, but the markets were booming, and his motives were quickly overcome by the sweetness of easy money.

Soon, the great recession hammered everyone, especially Steve, and he was brought to his knees. Everything was in the tank - his relationship with his wife, Lucy, and two daughters, Tina and Elle, his physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and of course, his business. He was on the verge of losing it all.

One night, after an intense argument with his wife, Steve drove back to the office with one thought in mind: bourbon. Shortly after arriving, a phone call from Gerald, Steve's mentor and largest client, interrupts his attempts to enjoy a neatly poured glass of the stuff. Unfortunately, he was calling to inform Steve that he would be pulling his accounts and investing them elsewhere. The devastating news launched Steve into a rage, and he shattered what used to be his most prized possession: a photograph of him, Lucy, and the girls.

How could I let this happen? How could I have gone from the heights of success to this? Suddenly, Steve begins to feel as if his stomach is trying to crawl out of his mouth. He couldn't breathe. He knows something is terribly wrong.

Fortunately, when things look bleakest, a man known as "the Janitor" arrives, saving Steve's life. After Steve recovers, he agrees to meet with the man who saved him. Over the next several days, the Janitor and a few of his friends - an orphaned violinist, a Cuban refugee-turned-entrepreneur, and an executive coach - teach Steve that the greatest crisis humanity faces is not a financial one, but, rather, an even greater crisis comes from:

  • Allowing, unconsciously, a circumstance or someone else's story direct one's self-narrative
  • Chaining one's gifts to the pursuit of status and achievement
  • Allowing a comfort or fear to replace action
  • Misunderstanding the power of community

Most importantly, they remind Steve he already possesses the key needed to fulfill his God-given potential and live a meaningful life on purpose.
