Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments

I would like to give acknowledgement in this book to the following people:

Lucio Buffalmano: For being someone I can trust to stick to their values and for teaching me most if not all that I know about power dynamics. You’ve been a mentor to me in more ways than one.

Jona Xiao: For showing me how powerful networking truly is and getting me started on my journey to becoming a networking expert.

Chandler Bolt: For giving me the tools and resources I needed to make this book possible.

Dillon Barr: For being willing to collaborate with me on this project by working with Chandler Bolt and helping me get this book into the hands of so many people.

Lise Cartwright: For being my coach and mentor when I needed guidance on how to make this book idea a reality.

Elliott Sanders: For being my very first mentor, patient with me three days a week, every week, as I sat hooked up to a dialysis machine and absorbed all of your wisdom.

Jared Beverly: For being the incredible listener that you are from back when I was depressed and needed to vent out my emotions up to today.

Isaac Bynum: For being one of the most ambitious friends in my social circle that believed in me when no one else did and pushed me to achieve more.

Gerald Norgbe: For being the friend I needed in my time of need when my mother locked me out of the house (with my kidney failure medicine still inside) and I had nowhere to go and no certainty if my kidneys would fail again because I had no access to my medicine. You took me in and showed me a deep act of friendship I hadn’t experienced in years.
