I extend my appreciation and thanks to my team at SUCCESS Media and SUCCESS magazine, who have supported me through this labor of blood, sweat, and almost tears, particularly my good friends and colleagues Reed Bilbray and Stuart Johnson To my writing muse and collaborator, Linda Sivertsen, who helped pull out the stories and references from my past and give my process order and coherence To the editing wizardry of Erin Casey, the always-genius touch of our SUCCESS magazine editor Lisa Ocker, and to our editor in chief, Deborah Heisz.
