I want to thank everyone who has helped support the Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain paperback release. It officially hit #1 on the New York Times paperback bestsellers list.

The Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain paperback book tour kicks off in April. I’ll be visiting the following cities for book signings, charity support and evening Vi events (in select cities).

The institution of college is failing us, just like our housing market failed us. The costs continue to go up, as the debt of the schools continues to grow, and the schools then pass this burden onto the students, and tuition goes up.

I am tired of seeing headline after headline of senseless acts of violence and mass murders… especially those committed by troubled youth. These situations are far too common in today’s society and we need to find solutions to help prevent these tragedies from happening.

I’ve always been inspired by the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Why? Not just because of the difference he made but because of the convictions that he held. He was a man of purpose, but more importantly, he was a man of action.

It is easy to say, what can little old me do to make a difference? Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he thought he could only do a little. That is exactly when apathy and indifference take over and we lose control of our own destiny.
