An Awesome story of courage and inspiration
I heard Neal Petersen speak and by the time I got to the table to by his book, he was sold out. I finally orderd on line and it is every bit at moving as his presentation. It truly made me realize that if he can overcome all of the obsticules placed before him, than I don't have any excuses to not overcome my own.

Engagement Is Not Enough 2 reviews
Keith Ayers
Elevate, 2008

The Gamut of Gastronomy

A great reference that should be in every ...
