And then there was Chris!

Rob and Chris Brogan originally knew each other from 7th and 8th grade.

Chris moved away, and they lost touch. Then they reconnected right after 9/11. There was no social networks at that time. People would just send these mass emails trying to connect and see who was ok!

The photo on the back of Trust Agents was taken by Rob!

Rob jumped on when things were really taking off, really exploding for Chris. At first he had said no, but then he agreed.

Rob gave up a 20 year career at this point. This was scary, but the one "through line" is that he was a teacher. Rob's role ultimately was that he was better at supporting people who were really good at what they do. He was much more a coach, than a leader. This is in essence what he was doing at the centers he ran, hiring good people and supporting them.

Rob has good, really open communication with his wife. They discussed his options, said no at first and then agreed to do it.

"I don't care what you put in the bag" but if I can give you a "hook" then you're off.
