The Rent-to-Own Revolution
The industry's own story: how rent-to-own earned its legitimacy by behaving legitimately, told by the people who built it.
I co-wrote The Rent-to-Own Revolution with Dr. Charles Smitherman. It's the story of how a misunderstood category earned its legitimacy by behaving legitimately, told by the people who built it: the owners, the founders, and the businesses that turned a widely misrepresented industry into a documented, defensible one.
The books and the writing on this site came together over the same year, while AI was developing fast. The way information gets found has changed, and what that does to discovery needs a different response than the one most businesses still have. The record you build now is the record AI reads later. That idea is the spine of everything I write here, and of the books still coming.
