Hey Damian,

You were the inspiration behind a huge change that is in process of taking place in my life. I recently interviewed for and was offered the position identified below. I am going to work for the Farm Credit association in Jefferson City MO. It is a state-wide, $2.5 billion company. What a terrific opportunity. What an incredible change in life’s opportunity.

#103 from your Beer, Sex, and Ice Cream book: A “rut” is only a “rut” if it is temporary; otherwise it is your life.

Thank you Damian. I am appreciative of the “wake-up call from life” that you helped me to hear.

If your wife asks you tonight “what did you do today?”; tell her you changed a life…
