“I grew up in a s home raised by my mother. I sometimes envied Burl for having that extra parental resource. I do believe that by being friends with Burl throughout high school I picked up some secondary effects of his father that flowed from Burl, Sr., to Burl, Jr., on to me.”

"A fantastic book that gets you thinking"
"What a beautiful tribute this author has given his father! This leadership book has an unusual basis. Most leadership books I've seen come from a strictly business angle, but this book has its roots in the lessons that the author learned from his father when he was a boy and a teenager. - Jamie B
