Western civilization is under attack.
Some seek to undermine and destroy the art, history, culture, and achievements of the West that have transformed the world.
Now, more than ever, we must study, celebrate, and defend Western civilization.

I ended up in Budapest in '93 during my college backpacking trip.
I caught the Orient Express out of Vienna on a whim.
I spend 2 1/2 days there.
Two years after the Soviet Union collapsed.
It turned out to be the highlight of my month-long trip.
There was a bold contrast

10 months ago, I almost died.
I had a heart attack.
Modern medicine saved me.
But I had been slowly killing myself for nearly two decades.
What happened?
• Somewhere along the way, I got lost.
• I forgot what it meant to have a why.
• I've had a successful 20+ year

My trip was before I became a teacher.
But I was still in love with history.
Standing in the same square where the Soviet tanks and troops crushed the rebellion was emotional.
Touching the buildings littered with bullet holes made the history come to life.

65% of people fear public speaking more than death.
Public speaking is hard.
Being vulnerable is harder.
If you fear vulnerability when speaking, you'll never be authentic.
Audiences crave authenticity.
Be vulnerable and your audience will love you for it.
