Expand commentThanks Nic! I'm excited to hear you shared this with your son. I think it's important to remind the next generation that things don't always come easy. Hard work and perseverance can take you places. I'm very lucky in the fact that I have my fathers work ethic. Nothing ever seems to come easy to us, but we have a lot of grit and drive. It's something much needed in this industry.
