We want to express our deepest gratitude to the family, friends, mentors, colleagues, partners, donors, and supporters who have believed in our vision from the very beginning. Your encouragement, generosity, wisdom, and unwavering support have helped make both this book and the work of Sky's the Limit possible. We're especially grateful to our wives, Caity Connolly Ghirardelli and Hannah Cary-Wallis, for their love, patience, and constant support throughout this journey. Thank you to our friends, co-creators, mentors, board members, team members, and the thousands of entrepreneurs who have trusted us to be part of your business journey. To our corporate partners—including Accenture, Goldman Sachs, and PNC Bank—and to every donor who has invested in our mission over the years, thank you for believing that entrepreneurship can change lives and strengthen communities. We're also incredibly thankful to everyone who helped bring this book to life—from our editors and contributors to our extended family and friends. And finally, a special thank you to our four-legged companions, Gus, Whistler, and Leeloo, whose loyal company made the writing process just a little more enjoyable. To everyone who has been part of this journey, thank you. This book exists because of you.
