Telling stories is the best way I know to motivate and inspire young people. That’s why our book is full of stories. Because it’s one thing to tell you to do hard things and rebel against low expectations… It’s another to SHOW you what that can look like.

“Give yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains, proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read.” — Charles Spurgeon The Rebelution started with a stack of books.
