Not only is Marvin the head of a very successful insurance practice in Greater New Orleans but he is also a professional speaker/trainer/author who helps small business owners lead smarter, sell more, and rediscover the joy of business.
I mention this because... when Marvin writes about going from Katrina to Chairman's Circle two consecutive years - it's not theory. It's not motivation. It's not fluff. It is what he has DONE and what he helps other small business owners and entrepreneurs DO on a daily basis.
The photos in this book are also striking in how they portray incredible devastation (and incredible resilience) in the people of New Orleans.
Whether you're after professional inspiration, personal motivation, or in-the-trenches business lessons on sales, leadership, and managing a team of significance - this is the book you need to read. Buy three copies - one for yourself, one for your boss - and one for your significant other because these lessons are just as valuable at home as they are at work!" - David Newman, CSP (Do It!

"Hurricane Katrina did not create the positive mental and emotional habits, which are the essence of Marvin LeBlanc. It merely shined the spotlight on his belief in the ultimate good of his fellow humans and his own heartfelt desire to be a good citizen. Word spread of the influence of his uplifting spirit in the direst of circumstances, first locally, (where he is now a legend), then regionally, and now nationally. His book is one of the most condensed healing and inspiring antidotes for self-pity that one can ingest. Even if you are feeling good, reading this book will make you feel better. An hour spent between the covers of "Come Hell or High Water," has the power to change your life."
