Standard Introduction
How many people do you know that has been in an earthquake while in a 100 year old building, been in a hurricane while on a surfboard, been struck by lightning while rock climbing, been in a tornado during a birthday party, done barrell roles while flying an F-16, watched the world cup while a volcano exploded, hung out with NFL future hall of famer Larry Fitzgerald while petting a rhinoceros, and chatted with LL Cool J while on the campus of Harvard University? Are you curious yet? Yeah, me too! Until I met Eric before this session, my answer was Zero. Not any more! Eric told me that no matter what life throws at you, there’s either a lesson to be learned or a story to be told. Please join me in welcoming Eric M. Bailey.
