“I’ve had the distinct honor to serve with Jake Polumbo, Rob Polumbo, Chad Franks, and Larry Martin for the past 45 years while we were on active duty in the United States Air Force and now in the public business sector. Each is an exceptional ‘baptized by fire’ leader with firsthand experience on how to motivate people while driving an organization to greater heights. Simply stated, their stories and the real-world experiences they share in Leadership at 100 Feet are recipes for success … these four warrior-leaders nailed it! Jake’s description of ‘near rocks, far rocks, lead, check six’ and his brother Rob’s ‘Six Ps for success’ are amazing lessons for any leader to apply in their professional and personal lives. Likewise, Chad’s ‘CARE’ analogy and Larry’s ‘CONCEPT OF COMMAND’ insights are nuggets of wisdom I wish I had learned much earlier in my life. Most importantly, each of these leaders does a brilliant job of drawing out the ‘so what’ lessons learned that superiors and leaders from all professional walks of life could practically apply. If you are interested in becoming a better boss, leader, friend, or family member, as well as being an integral part of an organizational climate and culture that is healthy and thriving, then this book is a must-read for you and the folks you serve with! As a former CEO of a veterans and first responder non-profit support organization, I would have bought copies of this book for each of my teammates!
Good hunting and as Jake says … ‘Check Six.’”

To write about Chelsea Football Club is to trace the arc of modern football itself—a story of tradition abruptly intersecting with transformative wealth, leading to a relentless, often tumultuous, ascent to the summit of the game. Founded in 1905 in the affluent West London borough of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea long carried the air of the glamorous underachiever: a club with a famous home, a charismatic and celebrity-filled support, but a trophy cabinet that belied its stature. For decades, its identity was one of stylish flair and sporadic cup success, punctuated by the flamboyant sides of the 1960s and 70s. This all changed irrevocably on July 1, 2003, a date that marks the clearest "before and after" moment in football club…

In an era of college football defined by the transfer portal's chaos and NIL deals that would make Fortune 500 executives blush, loyalty has become the rarest of commodities. Jeremiah Smith, the Ohio State wide receiver universally regarded as the best player in college football, recently turned down a transfer offer exceeding $10 million to remain a Buckeye . It was a decision that stunned the sport—and one that cemented his legacy before he ever plays another down. Jeremiah Smith Ohio State Jersey
In the annals of American sports, no family name carries more weight than Manning. From Archie's heroic days in a New Orleans Saints uniform to Peyton's five MVP awards and two Super Bowl rings, to Eli's two Super Bowl victories over Tom Brady, the Manning dynasty has defined quarterback excellence for three generations. Now, the torch has passed to Arch Manning—the 6-foot-4, 219-pound redshirt junior at the University of Texas who carries the weight of his family's legacy while determined to write his own chapter.
