Ride-
I never imagined this journey. It’s amazing what life offers you if you are willing to accept its offer. We are never promised a straight road to our destination. If that was the case where would we go. Who would we know on accident. How would we learn. Where would those last minute brilliant decisions that changed your life confetti moments be. We ALL have experiences we wish never happened. Some came with ugly tears and some came with magical inspiration. Regardless, without the detours, without the potholes, without being lost, you or I would not have ended up here... Right where we belong. Industry Certified magazine will take you on a ride. Buckle up, open your eyes and take this journey. Nothing is guaranteed. But if YOU are willing, we just may show you the ride of your life.
