Thank you to my wife, Erin, for constantly bringing out the best in me and for encouraging me to pursue my dreams. Thank you to my parents, Carla and Basil, and to my sister, Morgan, for always being there for me and for living your lives with integrity. Thank you to all my extended family members for your constant support.

Thank you to my co‐author, Jon Gordon, for being a mentor in my life and for encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone in faith.

Thank you to editor Nathan Hassall as well as Carla Demczak, Basil Demczak, Cindy McCachern, John McCachern, Joyce Cornwell, and Ron Cornwell for reviewing the manuscript of this book to make it the best it could be.

Thank you to my friends, family, mentors, and organizations who have encouraged me to be the best version of myself and who have been great examples of what it looks like to lead with integrity. You know who you are.
