We owe so many wise and loving people thanks for the completion of this project and wish to acknowledge them below.

Thanks to Brian Solis for your friendship and your willingness to support our efforts with your amazing foreword.

Thanks to our awesome team at Wiley Business, which begins with our editors, Lia Ottaviano, Lauren Freestone, and Pete Gaughan, and the entire design and development team, who helped us come up with the awesome cover and clean layout.

Thanks to all of our peers, fellow thought leaders, and mentors (alive and dead) who have influenced us and the content of this book with your wisdom. You all inspire us to be lifelong learners and ever-more curious with each waking day. Love you all! Napoleon Hill, W.

Big thanks to Wright/Hayden/Beshore/Brower family peoples. Thanks for helping Travis to become the inquisitive solution finder he is today. His love of learning, experimenting, and laughing came directly from interactions with you, Cathy Wright, Elmer Wright, Ken Brower, Rebecca Brower, Barbara Wright, Gene Hayden, Jeff Hayden, Mark Hayden, Mabel Beshore, Michael Beshore, Rachel Gamble, Jamie Gamble, Hank and Olivia Lamlech, Sarah Brower, and William Wright.

As for those in the Snook/Sorg clan, thank you for allowing Chris to be the abnormally curious and brave risk taker that he is. It is because of your solid foundation and knowing that he will be loved through failure and success alike that he has been able to repeatedly bloom where planted. Chet Snook, Ginny Snook, Palook and Sarge Snook, Gus and Barb Leconte, Corrie Snook Albrecht, Bob Albrecht, Mike Sorg, Karen Sorg, Melisa Gleason, Joe Gleason. “Hard work defines us, character separates us, and love is our legacy!”

And a special thanks to Hai Chen, as Travis and Chris never would have met if it wasn't for you, buddy!
