In our best moments, we glimpse that this human life is a grand gift and a precious opportunity. But our best instincts are often dulled and hijacked by our fears, self-doubts and insecurities. My life's work is to inspire, challenge, and empower individuals to fearlessly reach for their highest goals; to live out their heroic purpose while simultaneously contributing; making a difference and playing one's part in building a better world."
