Generalities won’t get it done; it requires very specific charting and execution. Just as Jeremy navigated his way across oceans, he’s also shown us how we can better navigate life’s personal and professional challenges. I’m giving my daughters copies of his book, and I hope they get as much out of Jeremy’s insights as I did.”
