<p>Business executive Ken Davis tells a story of perseverance in this compelling memoir. It&rsquo;s&nbsp; a journey from Small Town USA to big-time corporate decision-making. It&rsquo;s about life&rsquo;s challenges &ndash; and life-threatening challenges, too. It traces the impact that sports, mentors, and physical places can have on one&rsquo;s path through life. It also describes the impact the Vietnam War had on someone who was drafted but did not serve &ndash; and the reason why.</p><p>In the end, what propelled him were his business assignments. They often seemed impossible, yet by succeeding with them, he accomplished what he would often preach to colleagues: business is best when you follow the three stages: Vision, Plan, Execute.</p><p>Life and work were an adventure for Davis, full of thrills, inspiration, suspense and, sometimes, danger.</p>
