INSPIRING FLORIDIAN: Former Florida House Speaker and President of FSU John Thrasher. No doubt one of the greatest Floridians ever! Selfless, a man of conviction and a leader by example. I feel genuinely blessed to know John and to be able to call him friend.

MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA: ‘Half of leadership is creating followership.’ Titles don’t mean anything if we turn around and no one is behind us.
