Rocky Mount Telegram ______________________________________ “Confession: I’m an addict of self-help books. Kel’s is better, sharper and more useful than any I’ve read. It benefits from his North Carolina roots and his career in banking and investing. It’s a fun, fast and fulfilling read.”

Gary Pearce, TalkingAboutPolitics.com ______________________________________ “[The Little Book of Do] serves as a personal guide on how to achieve what’s important to the reader… Landis gives guidance practical and inspirational. His ‘Do Wedge’ helps a reader assess how a task under consideration measures in regards to importance, passion and urgency. Deciding not to do something can be just as important as deciding to do something, Landis writes.”

John Drescher, Editor, The (Raleigh, NC) News & Observer __________________________________________________________ “Kel Landis III wrote his new book about getting things done in about six months, but the ideas behind it have ‘been cooking for 10 years.’ The co-founder of Plexus Capital, former CEO of RBC Centura, and Raleigh community leader has been known for – and proud of – his ability to ‘do’ since he became an Eagle Scout at 15 in his hometown of Rocky Mount.”

Walter Magazine __________________________________________________________ “Looks like well-known Triangle banking executive Kel Landis took to heart Nike Corp.'s long-standing slogan: Just Do It. He just did it. Landis, released his first book called ‘The Little Book of Do!] It chronicles his corporate journey through reflections of people who ‘do’ things, rather than just ‘think’ or ‘talk.’”
