Read time: 1 minute, 380 words.

I’ve been lucky enough to write books with two of Dr. Martin Luther King’s top advisors:

Congressman John Lewis & Ambassador Andrew Young, my Godfather.

Uncle Andy taught me some powerful lessons…

Like the right time to tell someone to “eff off.”

(silently, of course)

Here are 9 provocative tips from Uncle Andy.​

πŸ’Ό Portfolio Career

Meet Troy Aikman. He’s not just a Hall-of-Fame Quarterback. He also founded a beer company. While he was in the NFL, he also owned a car dealership. I try to feature non-celebrities in this section, to show how having portfolio career is attainable. But Aikman’s takes are interesting: “When I objectively evaluate myself, I don’t think I’m great at many things…So what I’ve learned is to bet on people more than anything else.”
