I didn’t grow up feeling smart and special, the world my oyster, born with a silver shucker in my hand. No one works harder than you, that’s the way Zell and Juwon liked to put it. Everything I have is because I was the dutiful worker bee or because I have no other things to distract me, like girlfriends or wives, like mewling kids or family dogs or a love of weekend brunches and fantasy football, or a single, sad hobby, like solitaire or the Sunday jumble. I have this.
