The 3 Step Process for Inspiring an Evangelist
She ran up to me on the crowded Manhattan street corner, took my hand and pressed it to her heart and said… I’d follow you to the ends of the earth. Then I woke up. Yes, Catherine Zeta-Jones was only a passing dream, but it got me thinking… What does it take to get someone [...]
