The Simple Secret Behind Radical Leadership

My dad wasn’t a mechanic. He didn’t work in a repair shop. I wouldn’t call him a gearhead.

My dad was plenty busy, running two businesses and raising eight children – yes, eight – in Lansdowne, a blue-collar town just outside Baltimore, Maryland.

That didn’t stop him from playing Mr. Fix It whenever possible.
