It's YOU that makes the difference. We discuss the "everything else" through real life stories that distinguishes you in your daily life and in your sales career.
Vince Gill is without a doubt one of the greatest musicians ever, a true "guitar maestro". The Oklahoma native is so proud of his "common sense" upbringing from his parents. He is just a genuine guy who shares with us some of his life experiences including what it felt like receiving his first phone call from Eric Clapton, finally being recognized as an accomplished musician invited to play at "Cross Roads". We chat about who influenced Vince growing up; his love for sports and how he was a great High School Athlete who could kick a football 45 yards; hit a baseball over the fence and pound a golf ball 300 yards. Awarded 22 Grammy Awards, the most of any male artist in Country Music; 18 CMA awards including five consecutive male vocalist of the year titles from 1991 to 1995; and two Entertainer of the Year Awards, you find it hard to believe he is so appreciative, humble and just a good guy to everyone. Vince is the salt of the earth and tells of his love for wife, Amy Grant, a musical talent in her own right. Vince is now in the Country Music Hall of Fame; the Song Writers Hall of Fame and has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yet, he will tell you his life is special and blessed because of all the friendships he has made with such talented musicians around the world, including his latest feat, playing with the legendary band, The Eagles.
