About this listen

He was born sick. He made himself strong. Then he made himself a legend. The Rough Rider is not just a biography — it’s a myth-forged blueprint. From asthma-ridden boyhood to battlefield glory, from the White House to the Amazon jungle, Theodore Roosevelt didn’t just live through history. He charged through it. This book doesn’t worship Teddy. It unpacks him. The decisions he made. The myth he crafted. The country he reshaped. Through war, wilderness, betrayal, and reinvention, Roosevelt carved himself into the story of America. This is that story — sharpened, stripped down, and staring back at you like a mirror. Because he wasn’t just the Rough Rider. He was the blueprint. Now it’s your turn.
