They don't teach cursive writing anymore and they don't teach leadership anymore.

So somebody has to do one of the two.

And I think leadership is more important than cursive.

So I've always believed in raising my kids to be adults.

Let them build their journey, but raise them to be adults.

So writing this book, or going through the process of writing the book, got me to ask my kids more questions just about them.

How would you handle this scenario?

What would you do if you were in charge of a company

or if you were the leader of a department and this situation happened, what would you do?

It allowed us to have real conversations about scenarios that at some point they're gonna go through.

And now my kids are a little bit older, because it took me a while to write the book, right?

But my oldest son coaches football.

So he gets to live leadership principles.

My youngest is in grad school in Miami, and he's now thinking about his real career.

So he gets to think about leadership principles.

So this helped me from a father perspective of just seeing how they think, helping shape them as adults that are going to be leaders of other people who, like me, when I started my first business, realized the decisions that I make are going to impact others' lives.

And so that's what this book has allowed, or that's what this journey has allowed for

Leadership in the future is almost like when you talk about having multiple streams of income, you're going to have to, as a leader, be aware that your team member isn't there for the long haul.

When I was growing up early on, and I'm sure for you as well too, we were taught, go get a job and stay there forever.

Build your 401k, build your pension, do whatever, right?
