M-m-my n-name is E-e-e-e-e-rik W-w-w-weir. H-how-how c-c-can I e-earn y-y-y-your b-b-business?” Believe it or not, that’s the opening line that drove a young investment broker with a near-debilitating, lifelong stutter into a $1-million-per-year income by age thirty. And that incredible level of success was just the beginning! In his debut book Who’s Eating Your Pie? leader and speaker Erik Weir opens the playbook that’s led him to unbelievable success as an entrepreneur, investor, film producer, and real estate developer. He tackles the tough questions today’s young professionals are asking, such as: Can anyone build wealth, no matter where they’re starting from? Is it moral for me to want to build wealth? What does it mean to be “rich”? How can I build real wealth as a salaried employee? How can I build wealth for myself and others as an entrepreneur? What steps should I take each day to ensure I’m moving forward toward my wealth-building goals? What is the stock market and how does it work? Can I get rich with just a 401(k)? How does real estate investing work? Where does philanthropic giving fit into my wealth-building plan? Erik Weir has helped some of the wealthiest people in the country answer these questions, from multi-Grammy-winning musical artists to CEOs of some of America’s biggest companies to world-renowned professional athletes. Now, he wants to do the same for you, offering you the same advice and guidance he’s given to millionaires and billionaires for the past three decades.

"You will find my story is a lot like pie, a strawberry-rhubarb pie. It's bitter. It's messy. It's got some sweetness, too. Sometimes the ingredients get added in the wrong order, but it has substance, it will warm your insides, and even though it isn't perfect, it still turns out okay in the end." When journalist Beth M. Howard's young husband dies suddenly, she packs up the RV he left behind and hits the American highways. At every stop along the way—whether filming a documentary or handing out free slices on the streets of Los Angeles—Beth uses pie as a way to find purpose. Howard eventually returns to her Iowa roots and creates the perfect synergy between two of America's greatest icons—pie and the American Gothic House, the little farmhouse immortalized in Grant Wood's famous painting, where she now lives and runs the Pitchfork Pie Stand. Making Piece powerfully shows how one courageous woman triumphs over tragedy. This beautifully written memoir is, ultimately, about hope. It's about the journey of healing and recovery, of facing fears, finding meaning in life again, and moving forward with purpose and, eventually, joy. It's about the nourishment of the heart and soul that comes from the simple act of giving to others, like baking a homemade pie and sharing it with someone whose pain is even greater than your own. And it tells of the role of fate, second chances and the strength found in community.
