Acknowledgments

A BIG THANK YOU!

I want to thank my family, my clients, Kristina Holmes (my agent), the great folks at Wiley (Lauren, thanks for the opportunity!), and everyone at Ethos3. I also want to give a special shout-out to Brandy Nicks, who designed all of the illustrations in this book. Brandy has been with Ethos3 almost since the beginning. Without her presentation design skills, Ethos3 wouldn't be the great company it is today. Also, a big thanks to Josh Roberts, who helped me fine-tune my content. His contributions have been priceless. And most importantly, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this book. I hope it has empowered you to change the world with your next presentation!
