Recently my colleague Drake Carden and I flew to Atlanta to attend the World Leadership Conference hosted by Usher’s New Look Foundation.

The old saying is true—everything really is bigger in Texas. That includes the generosity of the good people of Houston, the latest stop in the Nothing But Nets team’s travels nationwide with The Lion King: Gazelle Tour.
