A big applause goes to Dustin Portillo as he launches his incredible first book, “It’s Okay to be an IDIOT. From the Center Ring to the Boardroom.” My book arrived today, and I haven't put it down! He tells his story from a dream of joining the circus to his mastery of Clowning in the Big Tops and ascending into the corporate world. He gives excellent advice on many layers of life, both personal and professional, as he weaves his way to the top of several milestones. His style of writing, as well as his presence and delivery, leaves you wanting more. His acronym for IDIOT is a powerful message that will bring joy to you and others—practical and transferable skills. I highly endorse grabbing a copy today!
