In my lifetime I have collaborated with and acquired the friendship of many incredible people. Some with fancy MBA’s from schools such as Stanford and Harvard. But when I asked Larry Bisbee (this so called hermit in the Maine woods) what his message to America was he would offer me the finest words of wisdom my ears had ever heard. He said “Take the time to follow your dreams. And don’t be afraid to ask. If you don’t ask you don’t get. Local community is like family. And you can accomplish anything when you work together. It’s as simple as that.” From that point on I was no longer afraid to ask for help. And the people in America would never cease to give.
