Acknowledgments

I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to my parents, John and Ruth Addison, two of the greatest parents anyone could have. They gave me roots and wings not loot and things.

To my family, Loveanne, Kyle, and Tyler: God truly blessed me with a wonderful wife and the two best boys (now men) in the world. You have made me a blessed man.

To my business partner Rick Williams, my dearest friend and the greatest business partner anyone could ever have. You and I fought the fights, won the battles, and did something amazing together.

To my friend Glenn Williams, and the leaders and people of Primerica: You have impacted and changed my life more than anything I ever did for you. It was the honor of my life to serve you and our cause.
