Asking for help can be one of the most difficult things we do as human beings. Many like to think we can handles things ourselves, that we can do it with little or no help from others. I disagree.

Podcast Episode 053.

• I discuss the benefits of asking those closest to you for help during the preparation part of the Exam including reaching out to family members to help you better focus during your studies.


• A new visitor center in Louisiana is sinking in the swamp, only 30 days before the scheduled opening.
