“Being at the forefront of your evolution as a man, husband, father, businessman, friend, commentator, public speaker, Oscar-nominated producer, podcast host, team owner, and even a neighbor was nothing short of amazing. The rise is your self-awareness, sensitivity Your ability to be, your natural laugh and smile will be shown by your dogged determination to protect the rights of the marginalized.”
