Several years ago, Mid America Motorworks had hired an outside "resource' to put on a one day presentation about shows and displays. Our booking of the "resource" was done in response to a direct mail presentation and subsequent emails and phone conversations.

As the day unfolded, we got more than we bargained for in the presentation, and so did our speaker, Barry Siskind. Barry also got the all too common notice that his flight schedule had been altered by the airline and that he would not be able to catch an early evening flight back home to Ontario. "Ontario," I said. "Well, we just happen to be flying out tonight from Effingham to Mt. Tremblant, Canada for Michael and Blake to race formula cars. Can we take you home?" Silly question! He quickly replied, "Yes!"

On our way to Canada, our conversation ranged from the activities of the day, Mid America Motorworks business, Corvettes and finally, Barry's next project; a new book he was writing - a book on selling. As we chatted on the book’s content, Barry stated that maybe he would use part of my story in the book. "That would be cool," was my response.

Shortly thereafter we landed in Toronto, dropped Barry off, and flew on to Mt. Tremblant. Several years went by and one day I got a package in the mail with a book in it. Interesting. I did not order this book. What is it? A book with the title: Selling From the Inside Out, written by Barry Siskind.

Along with the book was a very kind letter reminding me of the trip to Toronto and his comments about his new book. Barry suggested that I check out pages 158-161. Sure enough, there was his version of my story. Pretty cool.
