“The very idea of the Standing O series resonates with such a wide audience, based on one of my favorite philosophies, SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES! As a contributor in the first edition, I got to shout-out to my grandfather whose influence remains deep within me today, many years after he has passed. With this edition comes the absolute perfect way to show our commitment to those who have served so that we can enjoy all the freedoms that most take for granted. This is a chance to shout out “Thank you for your service”, while getting inspired and motivated by real-life stories of commitment and courage. Bravo to you Scott and team for this great effort, I stand and SALUTE all those involved.” — Steve Nudelberg, Speaker, Sales Trainer, Author, CEO, On the Ball Ventures
