First, My twin sister and I are huge fans of yours! You are such a positive person in a world full of negativity. Your book made me think to look past the negative and focus on the positives/Greenlights in my life. My question for you is: Out of everything that you have experienced in life, what was the most profound moment? What was that greenlight that changed everything for you?

The loss of my father was an obvious RED light that made me realize I was responsible for myself and needed to become a man, which is why I include his passing as a true greenlight in my life. The birth of Levi, my first child, because that is the day I finally became the only thing I ever truly knew I wanted to be, a father. When I became a parent, everything else in my life, instinctually unconditionally, became at the most, secondly important. In a world full of greys, the black and white clarity of that was and is enlightening for me. It gave me strength, courage, and clarity. And I actually become better at the things in my life that were previously more important to me.(less)
