Recently I had the privilege to speak at Iowa State University in front of the College of Business faculty and students. If you would’ve asked me 6 years ago if I would have ever thought of speaking at such a high level, I would’ve laughed.

Success comes to those that work their ass off nonstop, but complete breakthroughs happen to the crazy motivated people that go above and beyond and do things they don’t always like to do.
