“Three & Jackie literally changed my life! They went from being bosses of mine, to mentors to me, to becoming close friends to my wife and I, to even standing in our wedding 4 years ago. They are like family to us! A few words that describe them would be: supportive, energetic, optimistic, loving, fun, brilliant, leaders, caring, rockstars! I am so proud of them for writing their first book called People First! I had the extreme pleasure of reading an advanced copy and let me tell you, this book will make you laugh, cry, want to go run a marathon afterwards, hug a stranger and overall just be a better leader. This book is the perfect read for any company or individual looking to take their business and leadership to the next level. I highly recommend this book and urge you to share it with the world! Three and Jackie changed my life forever in such a positive way and I know this book will change yours.”
