Kevin Willmott, Academy Award winning screenwriter of BlacKkKlansman. "By navigating us through his own early adult conscience, Mike Matson provides a roadmap for those with loved ones suffering with addiction. His own addiction-related behaviors and choices are guideposts and landmarks, offering friends and families of the addict a place to start." Linda Richey Graves, former First Lady of the state of Kansas "If we were to choose someone to become an addict, Mike Matson would be my choice. I know that sounds strange, but his skill to recall his past and describe it is invaluable. His service is to explore the addict's journey, detail by detail, however unpleasant. He's cut open a vein to give us a gift." Bill Kurtis, Television journalist, producer, and documentarian "Matson's naked accounting of his early adult life drug me into his story in a way that few books have. He not only involved me in his early life but caused me to think about mine more deeply than I have in years." Jake Huyett, Founding partner, Jones-Huyett Partners marketing/brand strategy firm "Mike Matson's exquisite, meticulous, and sometimes painful details, sculpt his story of addiction with vulnerability, courage, and humor. Matson transports the reader back in time to the 1970s with the aroma of Love's Baby Soft, feathered hair, and 'The Hustle.'" Michel' Cole, Kansas Corporate Communications Executive Emeritus "With humor, self-awareness, and a deep sense of the spirit and faith that ultimately saved him, Mike Matson shares the harrowing story of how his youthful success in broadcasting was intertwined with a growing alcohol dependency that nearly ruined his life. If your dreams and hunger have ever taken you down a destructive path-or if you know someone like that-Mike's story is sure to connect." Alex Heard, Author, Editorial Director of Outside magazine, former editor of Wired and The New York Times Magazine "Courtesy Boy does a courtesy for all of us. Matson's gift of storytelling coupled with incredible vulnerability, brings to life how addiction develops and takes hold. He gives voice to the type of unspoken feelings and experiences that dictate our lives." Ed O'Malley, President & CEO, Kansas Leadership Center
