The Move That Matters: What If There's Something Better Waiting Down the Road?

By Jacob Tate

What if the future you want for your children is waiting in a different zip code?

In The Move That Matters, one father wrestles with a life-altering question: Is the town we love the right place to raise the kind of kids we hope to raise?

Told through heartfelt reflection and hard-earned insight, this book chronicles the deeply personal journey of a family weighing the emotional cost of leaving behind comfort, tradition, and generational roots for the promise of something better. With two young boys at the center of every decision, the author explores how environment, school culture, peer influence, and community expectations quietly shape the lives of our children-often more than we realize.

This is not just a book about moving towns. It's a story about parenting with intention, recognizing red flags in the culture we hand down, and finding the courage to chase a better path even when it's inconvenient, unpopular, or misunderstood.

If you've ever asked yourself:

Are we settling?

Are my kids being stretched, supported, and inspired where we are?

What if we stayed simply because it was easier?

...then this book is for you.

Honest. Hopeful. Unapologetically real. The Move That Matters will challenge you to look at your own environment-and your legacy-through a clearer lens.
