For their encouragement over the years, I thank Traci; Florie; my grandparents Marion and Jay
Grant; my in-laws, Adrienne and Neal Sweet; and the Impact Lab. Most of all, I could not have
written this book without the support of my wife, Allison. She has devoted countless hours to
brainstorming, reading, discussing, and searching, and words cannot describe how much her love
means to me. Every time I sat down to write, I drew on the example she sets. When it comes to giving
in the family domain, she is the ultimate role model. Our daughters, Joanna and Elena, are the greatest
sources of joy and meaning in my life. I am incredibly proud of them, and I hope this book will offer
their generation a new perspective on what it means to succeed.
