About this title

About the Author:

Dennis Franks is the Executive Vice President (and part owner) of Market America, Inc. and a top earner in the network marketing industry. He played football for the University of Michigan, where he was an All-Big Ten and second team All-American, and went on to play for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions. Dennis and his wife, Nancy, have two lovely daughters, Lauren and Katie, and a granddaughter, Izzy.

Vince Papale is one of the top motivational speakers in the country, inspiring people across the nation with the story of an underdog who made good. Vince is the subject of the Disney movie, Invincible (2006), the story of his journey from being a thirty-year-old teacher who'd never played a down of college ball to a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles squad. On the field as special teams captain, he and Dennis helped break the Eagles' eleven-year losing streak. Years later, he won another crucial victory and survived cancer. He is married to world-class gymnast Janet Papale and is the father of two children, Vince Jr. and Gabriella.
