In high school it was Mr. Morgan. He was able to make math tolerable for someone who wasn’t interested in the subject. In college, it was my professor, Carol Osborne. Her class confirmed that marketing was the right career path for me with her Promotions class. So, when I was invited to be a guest lecturer for that same professor that molded my professional aspirations, enthusiastic is an understatement. Let me precursor this next statement by saying that I LOVE what I do. Not only that, but I am passionate about the brand that I work for.

So, this 40 before 40 is simply a reminder for me. Break away from the daily life suck routine and embrace the JOY and beauty of God's masterpiece that we live on!
