ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A kajillion thanks.

I believe in business crushes, those people who are a part of your professional life who give you the same feeling as your seventh-grade crush in middle school. The people I mention here have made me a part of their magic, and I am forever grateful: my teammates at Prophet, Bill and Chickie La Macchia, David Storkholm, Armin Brott, Rodolfo Ramirez, Ivy Ross, Paul Westbrook, Stew Friedman, Susan Peters, Andy Berndt, Randy Webb, Kent Liffick, Beth Comstock, Stan Lippleman, Bert McDowell, Michael Brand, Seth Farbman, Courtney Harrison, Alex Gonzales, Frank Mars, Anita Roddick, Duncan Wardle, Steve Stefanovich, Bob Mooney, Dean Panos, Paola Antonelli, Polly LaBarre, John Sherman, Jim Ukrop, The Greenberg Duo, and so many, many more.
