Inspirational. What a great book. I’ve recommended it to all my good friends. Definitely a favorite

What a great book

I have never heard of this man until I was listening to the dads edge podcast where he was a guest speaker. The podcast was awesome and then I dove into his work. His book I listened to in a day or so. And I watched the movie. What a great book and movie about character and integrity. I am a dad if 3 and needed this book more than ever to stop working as much as I do to be with my own kids. Thanks for writing this bill.

A great story with even greater lessons!

A great story, with lessons that we can all apply to our own lives! Thank you Coach Courtney for sharing the foundations of your success and for reminding us of what's truly important.
