Firsthand Lessons is perfect for anyone wanting to excel in life or leadership and is a great example that no matter what your role in life, it s never too late to reinvent and create a life of excellence. --Marlene Chism, Author of Stop Workplace Drama

This book impacted me with its simple wisdom. Normally, I read a few pages of a book, and if I haven t gotten the message yet, I know I never will. The relationship between Scott and Bruno, however, engaged me to turn pages, see what would happen next, and finish the whole book! I learned a lot about myself in the process, as I reflected on moments of my life. The message and lessons are relative to the times, but also timeless. I energetically put Firsthand Lessons, Secondhand Dog, on anyone s must-read-now list. --Sam Glenn, Speaker, Author of A Kick in the Attitude, and founder of EverythingAttitude.com
