First and foremost I want to thank God, to whom I owe everything. Every day is an exciting journey on the mission you have gifted me! I am in awe of your greatness and the amazing blessings you continue to pour into my life.

To the love of my life, Taylor. I know I wouldn't have accomplished what I have without you. When I don't think I can do something, you believe in me. When I don't think I have energy in the tank, you encourage me. You are my rock; you are my everything!

To my puppy, Pivot. You are a ball of joy who absolutely lights up any situation. (And you were a rockstar salesman for Pivot & Go!) Thank you for joining our family and keeping me company while I write.

To my parents, Ann and Dan. You taught me at a young age to shoot for my dreams and never let anything or anyone make me feel like I couldn't accomplish them. I am forever grateful and thankful to you!

To my brother, Paul, and sister, Julia. Our sibling bond taught me what an amazing culture and breakthrough team should look like. Challenge and support!

To my editor, Lauren. Without you, the book wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is!
