About Steve Moore
Entrepreneur. Father. Survivor. Author.
Steve Moore has been in business for over 35 years. Long before "resilience" became a buzzword, Steve was living it — building, losing, fighting back, and rising again. His company, Bedroom Therapy.com, is a testament to what happens when purpose meets persistence.
But Steve's greatest achievements have never been measured in dollars.
A Father Who Showed Up — Twice
Steve fought for and won custody of his daughter following his divorce, raising her through elementary and middle school and supporting her all the way to the University of Georgia — where she graduated with high honors with a degree in Computer Science. She became the number one recruit for Power Plan after graduation. That's not a coincidence. That's a father who never stopped believing in his child.
Then Steve did it again.
Against all odds — facing an opposing attorney, a biased guardian ad litem, and a system designed to say no — Steve won custody of his son without a single attorney by his side. Today, at 68, he is homeschooling his 8-year-old son while running a profitable business and building a legacy that no system could take from him.
From Federal Prison to $1.8 Million
In 1985, Steve Moore was a UNICOR federal prison inmate. UNICOR is the trade name for Federal Prison Industries. What happened next had never happened before in UNICOR's history since 1934 — Steve rose from inmate to federal prison contractor, going from earning $1.35 an hour to generating $1.8 million a year. He took what he learned inside and made it work on the outside.
Until the system tried to shut him down.
He rose anyway.
Still I Rise
Steve's memoir, Still I Rise: A Father's Truth, is the raw, unfiltered account of his journey — the wins, the losses, the fights, and the purpose that never wavered. It is a story for every father who has been counted out, every person who has faced a system stacked against them, and everyone who refuses to stop rising.
This is more than a book. It's a movement.

System Sense: The Next Movement
Steve Moore isn't just telling his story — he's teaching the blueprint behind it.
System Sense: "System Sense - How To Survive in a Rigged World" is more than a book. It's a revelation. A guide to understanding how systems really work — financial systems, educational systems, legal systems, and the unspoken rules that determine who succeeds and who gets left behind.
Most people are taught common sense.
Some learn book sense.
But very few ever learn System Sense.
This book breaks that barrier.
It's designed to open eyes, shift thinking, and prepare readers — especially young people — to navigate life with awareness, strategy, and power. Steve doesn't speak from theory. He speaks from lived experience — from the streets to federal prison, from courtrooms to corporate contracts, from setbacks to success.
This is the knowledge he wishes he had earlier.
Now he's making sure the next generation does.

The System Sense Youth Initiative
Steve Moore's mission doesn't stop with a book.
The System Sense Youth Initiative is a national movement designed to bring real-world knowledge into schools — starting in Georgia, beginning with Steve's alma mater, Cedar Grove High School.
The goal is simple, but powerful:
Equip young people with the awareness most adults never receive.
Through speaking engagements, curriculum integration, and community partnerships, the initiative will:
- Teach students how systems truly operate in everyday life
- Help them make smarter decisions before costly mistakes
- Bridge the gap between education and real-world survival
- Empower young Black men and women with confidence and direction
- Create a new generation that moves with knowledge — not guesswork
Steve plans to speak directly to students, parents, and educators — turning lessons from his life into tools for theirs.
This isn't theory.
This is preparation for life.
More Than a Story — A Legacy in Motion
Still I Rise told the story.
System Sense builds the future.
Together, they form a movement rooted in truth, experience, and impact — designed to reach homes, schools, prisons, and communities across the country.
Because if things don't change…
things will change.
And this time, the next generation will be ready.
