212 The Extra Degree

By: Sam Parker, Mac Anderson

Narrated by: Derek Shetterly

At 211º water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. It's that one extra degree that makes all the difference. Use this powerful metaphor to reach new heights.
