Editorial Reviews

This publication is long overdue!! I grew up with this guy (he's my brother - lol!) and he truly is intelligent and has words of wisdom to inspire anyone...at anytime. I've followed him through his various newspaper and magazine articles, posts on facebook, and every place else through the years and his stories, words, and phrases get better as time goes on. Though I recently purchased, I can't stop reading and can relate to the situations and stories. This is a must read!! I'm reading it now.
