“My furternity brother, Robert Boudwin (aka. Clutch the Bear) is a very unique, interesting and highly entertaining guy. His book is no different.  If you are looking for an inspiring & humorous peak at the man behind the mask, this book is for you.  I highly recommend it.  It reminded me of something I already knew, Clutch’s heart is as big as his head.”

“Yo Robert –
I loved the book! I read the whole thing (no cherry-picking chapters for me…) in one weekend. You’re an animal – and I say that with the utmost respect! I certainly could relate to a lot of the mascot stories in the book – straddling the line of edginess and G-rated family entertainment, living for the laugh, fun school appearances, stuff that goes wrong, etc. You were a creative force as Clutch, making that character fun, unpredictable and an exciting part of Houston Rockets games.
The best part about the book is that you let it fly and didn’t hold back – although I’m sure the stories you DIDN’T tell could fill another 10 books! There is nothing phony – you are as authentic in your book as you are in real life (which is a scary – and FUN – thought!)
I have a friend I’ve worked with for 30 years at the Phillies whose motto is to always put yourself in a position to be able to tell a story about it. That certainly applies to your life story! I laughed out loud at some of your (mis) adventures, including the awkwardness of donating your “lifesource” at the fertility clinic and your little accident in your pants at Buffalo Wild Wings. That’s a story you may want to eliminate from your corporate keynote!
And by the way – let me know if you ever open Shorties. I’d go to that bar!”

“I know when you wrote your book wasn’t written with the intention of teaching business and life success—but after reading it, that’s one thing that it for sure delivers. At least that was one of my takeaways. Through your outrageous risks, unconventional choices, and wild circumstances, it reveals how those moments shaped your life and led to success. The challenge is that this book is so many things—part memoir, part masterclass, part pure crazy entertainment—but at its core, it’s a look at the craziest risks that you have taken with your “crazy Conna lifestyle”, it shows what you learned, and how those lessons changed the trajectory of your life. Here’s an angle to consider for the audience: Ask them, ‘What’s the craziest risk you’ve ever taken, and what did you learn from it? How did it change your life?’ This book shares your’s in raw, unfiltered detail, showing how those moments manifested.
It’s not easy to simplify this crazy shit but maybe that’s the point—it’s layered, it’s entertaining, and above all, it’s real. Amazing work, bro. One thing is for sure this is a fun read. I have been laughing out loud on my plane rides like I told you.”
