These are the takeaways that I found during my series of What It Takes. These pieces of advice are those that I believe can be used for anyone for any kind of career and just good life advice. I also give a little of my own. Thank you to my wife, and my family for the support in doing this, and for supporting my passion. To my parents who have always been there to support me in whatever I decide to do, even bowling. To the guests on my show, Michael Braxton, Austin Cecil, The Denton Neighborhood Spiderman,  Joe Ellison, Jennifer Loehding,  Jean Sala Smith, and Sierra Boga for taking the time to be a guest. And thank you to Pat Waldschmidt who taught me to take chances.
