Hello & Welcome to the You Da Man Newsletter
They say the journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step... this is that step!

I know what you’re thinking…
“Who are you? Why am I getting this email? What the heck is You Da Man?”
All valid questions, so let me explain!
My name is Stetson Stallworth! Most of you probably know me as "the guy who sent out resumés that looked like Wheaties Boxes in order to get his first job."
Others might know me as "that one college football player (what ever happened to him?)."
But more likely, you know me as the author of The Playbook 📘, my former newsletter that most of you previously subscribed to!
(And some of you are here because you inputted your email when downloading one of my free resources for service businesses… to you guys - a special welcome!)
💥 BOOM! 💥
That’s right - the rebrand is official! Welcome to the You Da Man Newsletter!
You Da Man is an environment where men help each other become “Da Man” in their own lives - men of action and of the highest character; for we are firm believers that a rising tide raises all ships, the best is yet to come, and radical success is never achieved on accident.
So what can you expect here?
As you might remember, The Playbook 📘 was all about self-improvement; about how we can become the best version of ourselves!
Well, we’re going to be talking about a lot of the same, but with a twist…
Instead of just focusing on my recommendations, we’re going to talk about how we can all learn, grow, and win together!
Sure, I’ll be providing some life updates for you, but all in the frame of how we can all reach our full potential. 🏔
Why ‘You Da Man?”
😂 Funny you should ask…
When I was a boy, my Dad used to always tell me “Stetson, you da man!”
To that, I’d reply “No, YOU da man!” And then we’d go back and forth and it was fun and it was cute.
💡 But then I grew up and I realized…
“Wow, my Dad really is Da Man!" He’s a man of strong faith, a selfless father, a dedicated husband, an inspiring leader, and so much more.
Meanwhile, my then 24-year-old self took a good long look in the mirror and felt convicted beyond belief. I was lost, overweight, and wasting my potential.
That’s when I made the decision that I was going to do whatever it would take to become the best version of myself. By any means necessary, I was going to become “Da Man!”
And now that I’m two years into this endless journey of self-improvement, I see the importance of growing in public and helping others along the way... I see the importance of being dedicated to a mission that’s bigger than myself.
And I saw the need for an environment for men who want more out of life, to get it… An environment where men help each other become “da man.”
With that (and the help of my good buddy Wyatt Skurski), You Da Man was born!
Let’s bring this home…
I’ll be sending out more editions down the road, and I realize that this content isn’t going to be relevant for all of you… Totally ok to unsubscribe!
✋ But before you do, maybe ask yourself, “Is the potential value here worth staying subscribed?”
My mission in writing this is to challenge you - to push you down the path that you know you need to go - and in doing so, this newsletter will be an “Asymmetric bet.” In other words, the potential benefits of remaining subscribed outweigh the potential risks associated with getting these emails ( I mean, literally, what risk? 😂).
So if you decide to remain subscribed (at least for now), can you please respond to this email with a quick “BOOM💥” or “LET’S GOOO” or even a “MONDAY MORNING BABYYYY”? It’ll help future deliverability.
And if you do decide to unsubscribe, my only ask is this… Can you please respond to this email and let me know why you unsubscribed? It’ll help me provide more value in the future.
Thanks so much and see (er, talk to you?) soon!
