My guest today has excelled at every stage of his career and life because of one very important reason. He decided to and his identity became that of an individual of excellence and purpose. Thomas Williams was a star linebacker at USC and was drafted in the 5th round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is now a motivational speaker and author of his autobiography, "Permission to DREAM" and his most recent book, "The Relentless Pursuit of Greatness." This was an incredible conversation and can't wait for you to listen.
