Harmon Cap is the social media sensation known as “Boston The Be A Man Guy” with over 9 million followers globally, published a very successful book with the fitting title, “Be A Man: The Ultimate Guide,” where he shares funny and insightful stories and pearls of wisdom about what it takes to be a man. “Be a Man” celebrates and pokes fun at the strengths and flaws of men today in an entirely satirical (sometimes controversial) way when he offers timeless advice on how to be a man, including:
— Never ask for directions, or use a GPS, just drive around forever
— Fall asleep watching TV, then get mad when somebody changes the channel
— If you can’t fix something, chuck a wrench
— If you can’t find what you’re looking for in a store, don’t ask for help. Walk out.
“The Be a Man Guy” takes his followers and readers into his early years, from learning math from his Uncle, the bookie, to discovering deep truths about life from the patrons who drank and gambled at his family’s bar in East Boston. Whether in stories or one-liners, “The Be a Man Guy” will make you laugh and shake your head in recognition. “Be a Man: The Ultimate Guide” lets men of the world (and the women that might love them) know that they are not alone. Boston, has a love for racing and is a fellow automotive enthusiast.
INSPIRATION
Boston’s Father and Uncles were his inspirations. His father was in World War II and worked for the post office. His uncles were “mobbed up.”
CHALLENGE
Boston grew up in a really rough neighborhood which developed into anger issues in his youth and has worked to change his life to have a humble and grateful attitude about life. Becoming the “Be A Man Guy” definitely changed his view as his messages have resonated with helping people to open up to talk about difficult life issues.
SPECIAL AUTOMOBILE
A 1969 Plymouth Fury that his Uncles gave to him that could fit 9 people. They would turn the car to the right, but the whole chassis would turn to the left!
