He reflects on his recent conversation with Eric Davis, sharing how he has been impacted by him and his work, without prior communications or correspondences.

Eric’s openness was so authentic and illuminating during their conversation; his vision on how to serve people to the maximum, and his idea and vision, has Tony feeling entangled in his world.
