Every musician you see performing at the Grammys is rich, right?

Tony Kitchen is an author, speaker, 5-time founder, philanthropist, and father. His book, The Gift of Pain, walks readers through the steps necessary to find success in life and in business, using his own story of coming from modest beginnings as a backdrop.

[35:09] - “(Authorship) is just one more way we can show up and contribute to society in a positive way.”
