What a podcast it was! I know him and his family; seeing him where he is today really inspires me above most things and gives me hope that if someone who lived neighbor to my house can be someone prominent as he, then I have a shot too. Learned a lot more than coffee and journey today, gave me a lot of insights into who he was and that the small honest and hard inputs really outcome every hurdle and give the utmost pleasant results.
