Persistence has always been part of my DNA. I’m relentless about encouraging people not just to buy my first book, Twice Over a Man, but to read it—because everything else I’ve built is rooted in that story. Years ago, at a Cardinals game, I had a conversation with the head of a major university. He said, “You’re always selling.” I remember smiling and replying, “Aren’t we all?” Whether we admit it or not, we’re all selling something—ideas, values, products, even hope.
For me, sharing the book isn’t about sales; it’s about transformation. It’s a roadmap for anyone who’s ever doubted their own capacity to rise. I believe in what I’ve written because it was born from lived experience. So, yes, I’m persistent—and grateful for that relentless spirit that keeps pushing me to help others see what’s possible.
