Margaret, thank you for words. Just what I feel. Martin is so genuine, open, you trust him every single word. He is willing to share his life wins and losses and it may help so many people. Don was briliant, giving space to him. Bless both of them. ❤

Great insight for Martin, the confidence he has on himself quietly. He knows what he wants and confident enough to follow his instinc and the belief if his goal. I found that amazing. he has a pathway for himsrlf and that made him comfortable enough to follow through. No wonder he is where he is now in his career and life. I like that. Great perpective in life. 👍❤️
