Trevor Blake is an entrepreneur. He grew up in poverty. He started his first business at the age of 43 and went on to sell 3 of his businesses for over $300,000,000.
He founded QOL Medical LLC, a specialty pharmaceutical company, in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and sold it in 2012 for over $100 million.

Having spent hours in the library as an adolescent reading biographies of successful men and women, Blake has committed to donating a copy of his book to every library in the United States in hopes that these concepts will inspire today's youth to take control of their lives.
