We are thrilled to share that Effective Adulting has been featured in a segment on WKYC, spotlighting our story and the book’s mission. In the clip titled “Father and Son Team Write Book on Adulting – Meet Authors Norman and Jeffrey Roth”, the anchor sits down with us to discuss what inspired the book, how we wrote it together, and why it matters now more than ever.
During the interview, we talked about the idea that adulthood doesn’t come with a manual — and that’s exactly why we wrote Effective Adulting. From money and credit to career decisions and confidence, we focus on the real-life skills young adults need but rarely learn in school. Being able to share that message on camera was a meaningful moment for us. It means this book isn’t just sitting on a shelf — it’s reaching people, starting conversations, and making a difference.
The attention the book is getting is already starting to show. After the segment aired, we noticed increased traffic to our website, more downloads of our free keyword/resources sheet, and messages from readers who said they watched the video and thought: “This is exactly what I needed.” That kind of response reaffirms our purpose. We wrote this for the young adults, the recent grads, the people stepping into real life and realizing they’ve been handed a “what now?” moment without guidance. Seeing that resonance is both humbling and energizing.
What’s next? We’re committed to building on this momentum. We’re planning more interviews, local book-signing events, and continuing to post practical blog content that complements the book’s chapters: tips on credit scores, negotiating your first salary, navigating loan repayment, and managing stress when life’s financial pressures mount. We want this book to be a living resource.
For those who saw the segment, thank you for watching and for sharing. If you haven’t yet, you can view the video here: Watch the interview.
