Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned from Mr. Rogers
July 20th, 2010
Someone once asked me if I could “model” myself after anyone who would it be? After thinking about it, I said, “Fred Rogers.”
Now, THAT got a laugh.
But the reason is simple. Fred Rogers did what most people dream of: he spent his life doing the things he loved and at the same time made a positive impact on millions...

But like most dreams, that we have as children, those dreams...
