It's not often a book comes along today that shakes me to the core. But particularly as we're asking, who do we want to be when we grow up, here at Inspire Nation, or how do we take things to a whole new level, that these books are incredibly important.

Today we'll talk about taking your life to a whole new level, dream big, reaching your dreams, and achieving what you once thought impossible, but through a completely different direction, and ironically, plan of attack, then you likely ever thought of.

That plus we'll talk about the power of muddy beginnings, a ping poing stadium, and why you DO want to let them see you sweat.
