DISCLAIMER: None of us intends to represent or pretends to represent the official position of any agency, on any topic. We may be informed by experience, but that does not give us the right to pretend we speak on behalf of anyone other than ourselves and The School of Leadership and Madness. So we don't. We're broken toy soldiers trying to glue ourselves back together. We will fail and we will say crazy things. Change your lives, YES. But do not do it based on a YouTube video you stumbled upon. Do it because you already knew. Get counsel, seek allies, make friends. We can ramble into cameras - they can help you. If you have no friends or allies, you haven't met them yet. Do great things, but never because we told you to. Do them when you know it's time and you're ready.
