Max had skipped school to rescue his grandpa.

Witness this power through the legacy of Victor Mycynek (1943-2004). Victor-an engineer, craftsman, and forestry enthusiast-was not a politician, celebrity, CEO, or business owner. He wasn't an artist or in the military. He didn't live through the era of social media influencers. Still, just by being himself, he inspired the richest and fullest life possible for many who knew him. It would be an understatement to say he used his time well.

What do we truly want? When you have answered this question, you have found your North Star. Follow it and you will evolve—personally and professionally—while you climb to the Summit.
