The power of 2.

A few weeks ago, before the Quitter Conference, I realized it would be awesome if a Quitter built the stage.

As I’ve mentioned a few times, I want to be intentional about creating opportunities where Quitters can shine. And this felt like a good one.

I hoped someone out there would have a dream they wanted to share with everyone at the conference and everyone who reads this blog.

So I wrote a post about it and 21 people from around the country sent in some ideas.

We picked a couple from Chicago named Jim and Joy DeLaere.

And what they did was absolutely ridiculous. Watch this video and see for yourself:

The stage was amazing, and it all happened with just two people. Jim and Joy cut and stained each plank before they came down here. Then they got to work. It was the kind of project that usually ends in divorce. (My wife and I have a pact never to hang wallpaper together.) We’ve already used the stage for other events, and we’re going to keep it up permanently in our conference center. Dave Ramsey and the rest of the team loved it.

I was so impressed with how it all came together and so excited about adding Jim and Joy to the Quitter Hall of Fame.

If you ever need a set or a stage designed, contact Jim.

What can you do with the power of 2?

Something pretty amazing.
