Acknowledgments

I’ve been extraordinarily blessed. It is hard to believe that this is my sixth book—one that I am very passionate about. So many people were willing to sacrifice time to help me build this book and I am eternally grateful. Without you, there would be no People Love You.

A heartfelt thank-you to all of the account managers and buyers who sat down with us for interviews; your insights and stories became the heart of the book.

Carrie Blount, thank you, thank you, thank you. I honestly don’t know why you put up with me.

Jodi Bagwell, as always you are my compass. Thank you for enduring friendship and encouraging me to stay true to myself.

Lauren Murphy, my wonderful editor, your patience for my perpetual begging for deadline extensions is amazing. Thank you for believing in me and for shepherding this project.

Chris Dods, you have no idea how much I appreciate your coaching and guidance. Thank you for always being there for me.

Jeff Black, thank you very much for taking time out of your very busy schedule to help me shape this book. You are a master at customer relationships.

Mitch Johnson, I love you man. Thank you for coming though for me on this project. You’ve always been an inspiration to me and I am proud to call you my friend.

Brad Adams thank you for all you do. You are incredible and I am sure I don’t tell you this enough.
