Acknowledgments

To my parents, Ray and Marian Sweeney—who taught all of their 10 children that moving the needle wasn't about being better than anybody else, but being the best version of yourself, and that you had to work on this every day.

To my wife, Tami—the kindest and most caring woman I know, who gave me the freedom to pursue my passions.

To my four children, Kyle, Conor, Kelly, and Brendan and their significant others—who remind me on a daily basis of what is important and give me the why to keep going.

To my friends and wingmen—who have kept me on track and given me clarity when I needed it most.

To Sister Camille Kliebhan, OSF, for her grace, beauty, and wisdom and for teaching me that every day is full of grace-filled moments.

To the men and woman of our military, and especially the friends at the Navy Special Warfare Center in Coronado, California, for making the ultimate sacrifice—your lives—to protect our freedoms and liberties. Thank you for showing me how to be constantly grateful and to make every day count.

To the many teachers and mentors who have provided the tools and insights to help us get clear, get free, and get going in our businesses, careers, and lives.

And especially to Mike Yorkey, Colleen Heffron, and Shannon Vargo, who made Moving the Needle possible.
