Imagine it's a hundred years from now, you have grandkids, and one of them decides to write a book about Brayand Ponciano. What would you like the title to be and say about you?
- "Spearhead." Because I have taken the forefront and taken the brunt of everything, my kids and grandchildren will have an amazing opportunity because of what I'm doing. But the one thing I do believe they will recognize and remember me by is the guy that took the first step.
