UNPERFECT
A memoir of money, mistakes, miracles, and learning that life is about time and choiceBy Judson BurdonRecorded Track
Length4h 29m
About this audiobook
I started my first business at seventeen with eight dollars. I built and sold a company by twenty-two. I made millions, lost my marriage, my trust, and very nearly myself. I watched my son die on a table in Sint Maarten and come back seven minutes later. And on June 22, 2022, I finally started fighting the battle that mattered most.
UNPERFECT is the first half of my life with nothing polished out: the bullied kid behind the red glasses, the rocket-ship businesses, the affairs, the betrayal, the miracle, and the long way home. It is not a success story. It is a survival story that turned into one, told honestly, including the falls that came after the finish line was supposed to be crossed.
If you have ever felt broken, behind, or too far gone, this book was written for you. You don't get to rewrite the first half. You get to write the next one.
Written and narrated by Judson Burdon, in his own voice.
