The more I get close to finishing the book, the more excited I get about it. So this is an effort I started a couple of years ago. And it was an idea that actually somebody gave to me and said, hey, you know, you've got these experiences that you really have an obligation to share. And I had never really thought of my experience as an obligation to share.
