ABOUT THE WISDOM & WHATNOT

The Wisdom and Whatnot is a creative publishing and commentary studio built around one simple belief: wisdom still matters.

In a world dominated by noise, distraction, and surface-level thinking, The Wisdom and Whatnot exists to help people pause, reflect, and tell themselves the truth — even when it’s uncomfortable. The brand creates intentional “mirror moments” designed to encourage self-examination, accountability, and personal growth.

At the heart of the studio is the “Don’t Be” book series — a growing collection of concise, thought-provoking titles that confront everyday human behavior head-on that includes a modern look at the 10 Commandments. Each book focuses on specific issues such as foolishness, lying, coveting, idolatry, pride, or disrespect. These books aren’t written to shame or point fingers. They are written to challenge everyone — including the author — to think deeper, live wiser, and choose integrity over impulse.

A cornerstone of the series is Don’t Be That Fool: Wisdom for a World Gone Sideways, which examines the cost of foolish decisions in life, leadership, relationships, and faith. The tone across the series is honest, reflective, and unapologetically direct — offering wisdom without dilution.

Beyond publishing, The Wisdom and Whatnot also produce Billionaires, Ballots & Bosses (BBB), a premium novelty satire card deck that blends art, humor, and social commentary. Designed with casino-grade quality for real play, the BBB deck captures the personalities, power dynamics, and contradictions that define a modern era. It’s not about endorsement or condemnation — it’s about relevance, observation, and conversation.

Together, Our Wisdom Studio E-books and BBB Deck represent two sides of the same mission: Wisdom —reflective, grounding, and truth-driven

Whatnot — satirical, bold, and culturally observant

Both exist to help people see themselves and the world more clearly.

The Wisdom and Whatnot is not trend-driven, rushed, or built for empty attention. It is intentional, layered, and created for those who value substance over spectacle — and believe that self-awareness is still a form of wealth.
