Stone read Outstanding! over the holiday — well, most of it anyway . . . Once I let my brother-in-law (retired School Principal, John Miller fan, and life-learner) borrow it, I couldn’t get my hands on it again till just the other day.

Great stories — practical, actionable content. I highly recommend this book, and think you’ll enjoy our interview with Miller as well.
