“Make lots of money by helping lots of people.”
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT
Luckiest Moment
“My dad chose to be an entrepreneur, and that helped tremendously.”
Roll-The-Dice Moment
“No money. Signed with NBA Atlanta Hawks. My wife and I decided to give away our signing bonus to people we loved and that needed it. God has blessed us tremendously for helping others before ourselves.”
