and

He

the

methodology
when
he

speak
to
our
students
and
staff.
A
Your
partnership
with
a
ACPs
started
two
years
ago
when
we
were
getting
ready
to
host
the
avid
Student
Leadership
Conference
at
Northeast
high
school.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
of
who
our
keynote
speaker
would
be
at
Northeast
and
through
our
Facebook
connection,
and
seeing
your
adventures
and
misadventures
in
your
international
speaking
role,
I
reached
out
to
you
and
begged
you
to
come,
speak
to
us
for
free
at
high
school.
What
compelled
you
compelled
you
to
come
back
and
speak!
You.
B
Know
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
happened
in
that
very
moment
is
that
you
know
25
years
earlier,
I
had
I
was
senior
class.
President
and
I
had
given
a
commencement
speech
on
that
very
stage.
At
that
point.
In
my
life
it
was
much
different
than
obviously
where
I
was
25
years
late
and
I
think
that
life
usually
gives
you
a
do-over,
and
this
is
my
do-over
to
stand
on
the
same
stage.
Deliver
a
speech
with
such
impact.
I
just
thought
was
a
unbelievable
opportunity,
so.
A
B
By
far
I
want
some
of
the
best
years
of
my
life,
it
was
when
I
see
the
best
years
of
my
life
was
the
best
years
of
my
life
in
the
sense
of
just
a
friendship.
Just
the
camaraderie
there
was
no
times
were
different
back
then
I
have
two
small
daughters
now
and
the
pressure
that's
on.
My
kids
now
is
I
never
experienced
that
there
was
no
social
media,
there
was
I,
don't
I,
don't
even
remember,
and
maybe
there
was
and
I
was
just
oblivious
to
it.
There
was
no
the
bullying
wasn't
there
as
much.
B
There
was
just
no
pressure,
and
so
it
was
more
about
just
enjoying
yourself
now.
With
that
being
said,
I
had
I
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
interpersonal
conflict
that
I
was
dealing
with,
but
I
was
able
to
hide
I
say
to
people.
I
hit
him
plain
sight
for
four
years
it
was
when
I
graduated
I
was
able
to
finally
confront
my
demons
in
front
the
things
I've
been
struggling
with
inside,
but
for
those
four
years
it
was
some
of
the
best
times
in
my
life
for
sure.
Awesome.
B
So
I
graduated
high
school
and
as
I
just
referenced,
these
I
had
this
conflict
of
what
I
really
wanted
to
do,
and
it
was
a
this
is
really
where
this
this
my
life
kind
of
went,
went,
sideways
and
and
and
probably
took
a
road,
less
traveled.
A
lot
of
my
friends.
You
know
even
one
of
them
had
had
desires,
to
go
off
to
college
and
kind
of
knew
either
either
knew
what
she
wanted
to
do.
I
knew
what
the
next
step
was
for
me.
I
had
this
nagging
anchor
in
the
back
of
my
head.
B
B
Had
I
had
opportunities
to
go,
play,
basketball,
yeah,
and
but
it
was
it
just
wasn't
for
me,
and
it
wasn't
for
me
not
because
of
any
other
reason,
but
I
didn't
I,
just
wasn't
I
didn't
believe
I
would
succeed,
and
you
know
when
you,
when
you
have
this
fear
of
being
found
out,
that
you're,
not
smart
enough.
You
divert,
and
so
I
diverted
and
I
got
a
job
I
literally
instead
of
going
to
school,
I
got
a
job
as
a
as
a
dishwasher
and
a
Houseman
a
steward.
They
close
to
it
and
the
Houseman.
B
The
Houseman
was
the
guys
that
set
up
meeting
rooms
in
hotels.
They
I
was
making
$4
an
hour
at
a
hotel
in
downtown
Baltimore
and
while
all
my
friends
were
off
to
school,
some
went
to
Frostburg
Sean
went
to
Towson
when
one
to
the
Naval
Academy
and
they
were
all
over
the
place.
I
was
I,
was
washing
dishes
and
setting
tables
and
sorting
linen
at
a
local
hotel
solely
because
I
had
this.
A
B
Was
gonna
have
to
confront
this?
This
idea
that
I
I
wasn't
created
to
have
a
life
of
greatness
of
life
abundance
and
that's
really
where
it
came
from.
You
know,
I
remember
one
night
I
was
in
the
dish
room
and
there
was
actually
with
dishes.
As
far
as
the
eye
could
see-
and
somebody
had
said
somebody
said
you
know
you
can't.
A
B
Home
to
all
these
dishes
are
done,
and
I
said,
I
said
no,
but
that's
alright,
I'm
gonna
run
this
hotel.
I'm
gonna
run
this
over
at
the
hotel
one
day,
because
even
to
all
this
negative
had
a
great
facade
had
a
great
confidence
about
me.
Even
though
I
was
dying
on
the
inside
and
they
said
really,
they
said
that
you're,
just
a
dishwasher
and
I
realized
that
very
much
I
was
like
wow.
Is
this
what
my
life
is
gonna,
be
the
next,
the
next
30
40
years
of
I'm
being
judged
for
what
I
do
not?
B
B
So
I
so
I
believe
in
these.
These
shift
moments
and
shift
stands
for
see
how
I
find
truth
and
for
a
long
time
I
was
finding
truth
and
alibis
excuses,
barrier
myself
and
work
just
not
confronting
the
challenges.
I
had
and
so
I
met
my
wife
one
night
out
and
might
who
would
be
my
wife
one
day
I
met
her
out
and
we
ended
up
through
a
long
series
of
ups
and
downs.
On
my
part.
We
we
ended
up.
B
I've
ended
up
moving
to
Philadelphia
from
hotel
when
we
moved
to
Texas
I
had
kids
and
I
managed
to
towels
until
they
were
two
years
old
and
I
woke
up
one
morning
and
I
said:
there's
got
to
be
more
I
love.
What
I
did
I
love
the
hotel
business.
It
afforded
me
an
amazing
life,
but
there's
got
to
be
more,
but
the
challenge
is
when
you
don't
have
a
college
degree
and
all
you've
ever
done
is
working
the
food
and
food
and
beverage
and
see
the
hotel
industry.
B
You
can't
get
hired
for
anything
other
than
the
food
and
beverage
industry.
I
remember:
I
applied
for
a
cash
I
bet,
I
applied
for
no
less
than
30
jobs.
This
was
2005
2006
and
nobody
would
hire
me
and
I'm
talking
about
positioned
from
Sales
Professional
to
apply
for
an
overnight
stock
guy
at
Target
and
I
could
not
get
hired
anywhere
and
so
I
had
ton
of
opportunities
to
go
back
into
the
hotel
business,
but
I
really
wanted
to
do
something
different
I
wanted
to
fulfill.
My
passion.
B
I
was
lucky
enough
to
have
an
amazing,
unbelievable
supportive
wife.
That
said,
go
find
your
passion
go,
find
something
you
really
want
to
do,
and
a
friend
of
mine,
my
best
friend
at
the
time
he
owned
a
business
that
installed
signs
for
new
home
construction
sales,
and
he
said
you
should
go
work
on
new
home
construction
sales
and
I
didn't
know
anything
about
it.
I
knew
nothing
about
construction.
I
knew
nothing
about
sales,
I
knew
nothing
about
real
estate,
but
I'd
loved
the
idea
of
being
involved
in
somebody's
life.
B
When
somebody
buys
a
home
there's
always
a
story,
there's
a
story
that
they're
gonna
raise
their
kids
in
it.
They
there's
a
story
that
they're
going
to
retire,
that
they're
downsizing,
there's
always
a
story.
That's
thought
to
be
cool,
to
be
part
of
that.
I
literally
wanted
that
hallmark
moment
of
being
involved
in
somebody's
life
and
contributing
so
I
applied
for
a
position
at
a
new
home,
a
new
home
construction,
national,
new
home
construction
builder
and
lo
and
behold
on
the
first
interview
they
hired
me,
which
I
couldn't
believe
I
was
like
really
you're.
B
Gonna
hire
me
well,
nobody
had
told
me
in
2006
we
were
in
the
worst
housing
crisis
in
the
history,
so
we
country
the
lady,
are
the
other
end
of
the
interview.
Desk,
probably
was
thinking
wow.
Somebody
actually
wants
to
come
into
the
industry
because
everybody
was
leaving
the
industry,
but
he
is
where
not
knowing
what
I
didn't
know
actually
was
the
greatest
gift
in
the
world.
I
didn't
know
that
we
were
in
the
worst
housing
crisis
in
the
history
of
the
country.
I
didn't
know
that
people
didn't
want
it.
I'd
have
any
preconceived
notions.
B
I
just
went
in
and
I
led
with
my
heart
and
every
customer
that
I
met
every
prospect
that
I'd
met.
I
told
him
why
I
want
to
do
this.
I
just
want
to
be
involved
in
your
life.
I
want
to
I
want
to
help
I
want
to
help
fulfill
that
whatever
it
is,
you're
trying
to
achieve
in
this
home
and
I
did
unbelievably
well
became
the
number
one
salesperson
in
the
country
I
year
after
year.
It
wasn't
about
the
money.
I
was
and
I
wasn't.
B
Commission
focused
I
was
mission
focused
and
it's
it's
really
a
different
mindset
when
you
live
your
life
mission
focused,
and
my
mission
was
to
contribute
to
the
well-being
of
others,
and
so
I
did
that
for
a
number
of
years
and
had
had
a
ton
of
success
and
I.
Still
to
this
day,
I
I
can
tell
you
ever
the
name
of
every
person.
B
B
Such
a
weird,
if
it's
amazing,
if,
if
you
think
about
think
about
the
whole
idea,
I
still
I
still
find
myself
in
police,
sometimes
maybe
just
release,
not
the
right
word,
but
just
in
amazement
of
how
how
amazing
life
is,
because
here
you
have
a
guy
who
didn't
have
a
college
degree.
Struggled
with
this
I
am
not
enough
mentality.
B
Almost
my
entire
life
and
then
you
know,
goes
imagine
hotels
and
then
goes
into
real
estate
does
really
well
and
I
was
I
was
in
real
estate
and
I
was
doing
the
new
home
construction
I
met
a
guy
who
owned
a
training
company,
and
we
our
company,
had
gone
through
the
training
and
after
a
couple
of
years
he
said
you
know
Chad,
you
should
come
work
for
me
should
do
sales
training.
For
me,
I
said
no,
that's
not
me.
That's
not
me.
You
know,
I've,
never
been
shy.
B
B
Given
this
platform,
it's
up
to
you
to
decide
how
you're
gonna
use
it,
and
here
was
an
opportunity
for
me
to
have
another
platform
so
I
I
finally
said
yes,
I
spoke
to
my
wife
and
again,
amazingly
supportive.
You
know
unbelievable
woman
to
say
yeah,
do
it
go
for
it,
and
so
I
went
to
work
for
him
and
I
was
I,
was
training
new
home
sales
professionals
around
the
country?
He
had
a
huge
company,
great
great
organization
and
I
would
go
around
around
just
around
the
country.
B
Work
with
salespeople
are
selling
homes
and
did
really
well,
but
what
happened
was
soon?
It
became
not
just
about
sales.
See
most
people
think
that
training
people
is
about
giving
them
the
tricks
to
the
trade
or
to
giving
them
the
behaviors
go.
Do
this
behavior
call
somebody
like
this
follow
up
like
this.
When
really
it's
really
not
about
that,
your
success
isn't
about
just
the
behavior.
So
you,
if
you
only
train
somebody,
do
behaviors.
If
it's
not
gonna
burn
with
their
beliefs,
they
won't
sustain
it.
B
That's
when
you
ever
be
beliefs
and
your
behaviors
are
in
line
and
congruent
that
you
have
true
success.
So
I
found
myself
talking
to
sales
people
and
talking
them
leaders
not
about
how
to
how
to
sell
something
or
how
to
build
something,
but
how
to
believe
in
what
you're
doing?
How
to
believe
in
yourself
how
to
do
the?
How
to
believe
that
you're
worthy
of
a
life
of
love
and
abundance
and
success
see
most
people
the
biggest
driving
factors
and
laziness
or
procrastination.
B
To
be
successful,
when
you
don't
believe
in
yourself,
you'll
do
the
behaviors
that
are
required
to
get
by
and
it's
a
totally
different
outcome
at
the
end.
So
what
happened?
Was
people
started,
recognize
and
then
I
started
being
asked
to
do
keynotes
on
motivation
or
keynote
on
beliefs,
and
then
it
became
it
branched
outside
of
just
home.
Build
me
it's
you
know.
I
had
a
bank
called
me
now
had
a
car
company
called
me
and
then
an
engineering
company
called
me
and
then
CPS.
A
B
B
You
know,
I
I
will
tell
you
that
I've
spoken
to
CEOs
of
billion-dollar
companies,
I've
spoken
to
thousand
last
night
I,
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
many
people
I've
spoken
to
in
2017,
spoken
in
front
of
in
2017
and
I.
Think
this
year,
I'm
up
to
thirteen
or
fourteen
thousand
people
this
year
I
spoke
to
and
every
one
of
them
is
a
is
a
what
I'd
call
cannon
ball
moment
for
me,
but
I
was
giving
a
talk
to
one
of
the
schools
here.
A
B
Middle
and
I
was
able
to
spend
the
whole
day
with
these
six,
seventh
and
eighth
graders
and
had
a
great
time
some
really
great
discussions
and
about
three
or
four
weeks
later.
I
was
in
another
event,
maybe
it's
a
little
longer
and
the
instructor
who
at
that
school
had
come
up
to
me
before
the
advantage.
Steve
wanted
to.
Thank
me
for
speaking
at
the
school,
and
she
gave
me
the
gift,
and
this
was
the
single
greatest
gift
I've
ever
received.
In
my
entire
life.
It
was
a.
B
It
was
a
binder
as
a
binder
and
in
it
was
about
three
to
four
hundred
handwritten
letters
to
me
that
I'm
sure
the
teacher
said
I
everybody
right,
Chad,
a
letter
thanking
right
so
short
as
an
assignment.
But
what
was
in
those
letters
and
I
still
have
this.
It's
on
my
desk
today
and
there's
not
a
not
a
week
that
goes
by
that
I!
Don't
open
this!
This
binder
and
just
grab
a
letter
and
start
reading
it,
and
it's
from
these
Anne
Arundel
County
school
students,
and
they
talked
about
the
impact
of
that
day.
A
So
you've,
given
your
time
and
talents
to
Anne
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools
in
many
ways,
you've
done
two
student
leadership
conferences,
multiple
schools,
specific
presentations,
an
assistant
principals
conference
in
2017
and
the
2017
unlocking
our
potential
conference.
What
may
have
motivates
you
to
keep
coming
back
to
us
yeah.
B
Because
I
think
I
think
that
I
see
a
I
see
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
students.
I
see
myself
in
a
lot
of
students
like
if
every
where
every
time
I
come
to
one
of
the
schools
I
see
my
I,
see
myself
in
you
know
in
a
student
or
two
or
three
or
most
and
I
think
if
I
would
have
known
back
then
what
I
know
now
I
was
surrounded
by
some
pretty
amazing
people.
B
Yes
you're
one
of
them
I
was
surrounded
by
these
great
amazing
people,
and
the
culture
around
me
was
phenomenal,
but
but
at
some
point
it
takes.
It
really
takes
somebody
pouring
into
you
and
I
and
I
mean
to
me.
You
know
the
journey
that
I
that
I
had
to
get
to
where
I
am
is
was
was
long.
It
was
hard,
but
I
wouldn't
change
one
bit
of
it.
I
wouldn't
change
one
of
it.
B
But
for
me,
my
goal,
my
mission
is
to
affect
that
student
right
now,
who
struggling
and
struggling
with
this
desire
in
this
belief
and
I
think
that
the
the
biggest
disease
and
facing
us
as
a
society
is
the
disease
of
I'm.
Not
enough
this
disease
of
feeling,
worthless
and
feeling
shame,
and
so
for
me,
I
keep
coming
back
because
I'm
hoping
every
time
I
come
back.
Even
if
I
speak
to
five
six,
seven
hundred
people
thousand
people
if
I
affect
one
of
them.
B
If
one
of
them
leaves
feeling
I
am
enough,
I
was
in
a
I,
was
in
a
mall
two
weeks
ago,
and
it
was
down
in
Iran.
The
county
was
the
big
multi,
Casino
Arundel,
Mills,
Mall
and
I
forget
what
I
was
doing
it,
but
I
walked
in
and
there
was
a
stoop.
There
was
a
person
walking
just
shopping
and
they
were
with
a
young
young
person,
a
young
million.
B
A
B
So
it's
been
a
year
of
craziness,
so
I
left
the
company.
I
was
with
last
year
the
beginning
of
the
beginning
of
2017
and
the
the
reason.
Why
was
because
when
you,
when
you
have
a
belief
and
you
have
a
desire-
and
sometimes
you
just
got
to
jump
and
do
it
on
your
own-
and
this
was
it
was
time
for
me
to
do
that,
and
so
I
wasn't
sure
what
the
2017
would
hold.
But
it's
been,
it's
been
amazing.
B
It's
been
unbelievable,
I
have
clients
all
over
the
world,
I
have
a
client
in
the
Middle,
East
I've
been
to
everywhere
and
the
it
just
keeps
growing
and
it
keeps
growing
by
word
of
mouth.
It
keeps
growing
by
again
they're
doing
the
right
thing
for
the
right
reasons:
I've
hired
employees
I've
moved
into
a
new
office
I've,
it's
I'm,
getting
ready
to
hire
some
more
employees
this
month,
and
so
my
my
base
is
growing.
My
platform
is
growing
and
what's
awesome
is
that
about?
That
is
understanding
that
I'm
able
to
effect
more
change.
B
B
Can
you
share
that
with
us
yeah
so
that
people
often
ask
cannonball
moment
such
a
joyful,
your
name?
Where
do
you
comfort,
didn't
understand
if
it's
a
cannonball
cannonball
a
pool?
So
we
have
this
poor
at
our
home
and
I
understand
that
most
people
have
a
pool
in
in
their
home
and
in
Maryland.
But
for
me
it
was.
This
is
different.
B
My
wife
and
I
had
create
had
put
this
pool
in
our
backyard
of
several
three
or
four
years
ago
and
growing
up
with
out
a
lot
of
money
to
have
an
in-ground
pool
and
have
this
amazing
thing
be
able
to
contribute
this
to
my
wife,
my
kids,
myself,
I
just
have
a
lot
of
gratitude
for
so
it
wasn't
about
the
pores.
This
fall
is
just
a
symbol
of
you
know
you
do
the
right
things
right.
Things
will
happen
for
you.
So
anyway
we
were
having
a
party
and
a
friend
of
mine
jumped
in
the
pool.
B
Did
he
can't?
We
were
standing
there
in
closed
everybody's,
getting
ready
to
leave
and
he
just
turns
and
does
a
cannonball
on
the
pool
which
was
just
so
strange,
he's
fully
clothed.
What's
he
doing,
and
so
you
know
you
never
want
to
make
you
guys,
look
bad,
so
I
turned
fully
dressed
and
do
the
cannonball
in
the
pool
too,
and
then
there's
two
two
crazy
guys
in
the
pool
and
their
clothes.
And
so
my
wife,
who
is
very,
shall
we
say,
conservative
not
not
spontaneous.
B
She
I
didn't
know
where
she
does
accountable
in
the
pool
now,
but
it
was
middle.
This
party
and
all
of
a
sudden,
twenty
thirty
adults
are
jumping
in
the
pool.
My
daughters
and
their
friends
were
all
inside
at
this
time
of
night
they
come
running
out
and
they
they
don't
know.
What's
going
on,
and
my
I
have
twin
daughters
and
they're
standing
on
the
pool
deck
and
like
what
do
we
do?
