President, Docusign; Board Member "Tracey has written a much-needed book. As opposed to those who study greatness and write academic theory, Tracey delivers much more. The simple, pragmatic steps this book takes, demystifies overpriced education and emphasizes the real stuff: guts, unrelenting work ethic, humility, coachability, and adaptability. This is a must read for my three adult daughters and, quite frankly, any professional who wants to own their outcome."
