Gratitude. This best describes what I'd like to give to the generous people who supported me in creating this book.

To my outstanding Wiley family: executive editor Sheck Cho, your kindness and enthusiasm is just what I needed for my first book. You are so gracious. Managing editor Susan Cerra, our Friday afternoon jam sessions kept me on the right path. Jean-Karl Martin, your organization and ideal sharing helped me go to market in a way that was more efficient than I could have envisioned.

I'm thankful to be part of a community of authors and publishing professionals who embraced and encouraged my ideas. Anna Murray, thank you for seeing the vision. Your faith in my ability and my ideas were instrumental in each stage of this book. I'll do my best to pay it forward.

Seth Godin and Shawn Askinosie thanks for our Zooms, chats, emails, and sharing brilliant resources.

Sheila Levine, thanks for your dedication to this project and answering all my many questions.

Stacy Grossman, thanks for jumping in so quickly. Kelly Spors, your business insights were thoughtful and engaging. Tiffany Dufu, I appreciate your inspirational kindness.

Hilary Poole, you are fun, smart, and working with you is such a joy.

Conny S. Kazungu, PhD, your energy, and consistent readiness for the next adventure I rolled out, was invaluable.

Edna Varner, EdD, I am grateful for you being my first writing coach in eighth grade—and still the best decades later!

Erika Winston, JD, MPP, your brilliant clear-headedness is priceless and exactly what I needed.

Thanks to all my interviewees: Shawn Askinosie, Doug Bristol, Marcia Chatelain, Mark Cuban, Laura Freebairn-Smith, Shennette Garrett-Scott, Seth Godin, Rebecca Henderson, Trevon Logan, Juliette Menga, Anna Murray, Daniel Pink, Caitlin Rosenthal, Susanne Smith, and Debra Walton. Also thank you to my anonymous interviewees. I'm inspired by your generosity and business acumen. Thanks for sharing your vision that there is a better way of doing business.

A special round of thanks to my Refinitiv and Thomson Reuters management team, mentors, and sponsors—Karen Ashley, Brennan Carley, Tamara Dews, Emma Miller, Deirdre Stanley, and Debra Walton—and all my wonderful colleagues who supported this endeavor.

To my phenomenal family: I'm grateful that you're supportive while demanding I act with the highest intentions—Mom, Dad, Uncle Al, Aunt Bobbie, Uncle Phearthur, Aunt Ingrid, Aunt Henrietta, Aunt Anderine, Uncle Greg, Uncle Paul, Gram, Nanny, Bimp, Dominique Banks, Daryl Alexander, Reverend Grant Harris, my “parent friends” Wanda Starke and Ron Fisher, and Tiffany K. Schreane, my sister and best friend whose brilliance, candor, humor, and love helped me bring this book to life.

To the Spirit in which I live, move, and have my being.
