The Escalation Tour & Some Humor

Please welcome Stephen Tremp who's visiting on tour and bringing a touch of humor with him. Take it away, Stephen.
 

Today I thought I would do something a bit different. I’ll post a few pearls of wisdom, some laced with humor, from amazing people who had to overcome amazing obstacles in order to leave a legacy behind. These are great quotes to share with our youth of today, who will become our leaders of tomorrow. They need vision. And they need to know some of the best leaders had anything but a normal childhood or life.
