Having watched this all from the front row, I can tell you that it is a modest recollection of the boy that always acted like the man. From standing up to everyone (including me) since birth, soaking up the experience and knowledge of those he admired, and outworking everyone as he strived to be the best at whatever he did. Him writing this book came as no surprise, because he’s added mentoring to his toolbox, and he’s changing lives every day. I can attest to his greatest growth, is that of a leader.
