We are lucky dudes for sure and also 1) I don't have a problem. It's more of a gift. and 2) A rhinoceros would be a sick job. Stacey, thanks for commenting. I am glad you were digging what I had to say while I was at the Wisconsin FFA state convention (I had a blast!!). I am super stoked to hear that my message has stuck with you and that you are deciding what's 'realistic' for you! I am glad I could help. I am also glad you enjoy my FB status updates. Stay in touch! David, I agree. We can now be friends. Kate, the chin quiver definitely puts the things you are doing in perspective. Thanks for commenting. Part II on Friday morning. Thanks Grant!

I have to agree...being a youth speaker is one of the coolest gigs around. Especially when you get to meet and hang out with other studly speakers like Ryan Porter (who apparently has issues talking to himself and dreams of being a wild animal) Nice interview!
