For Glenn, the right person came at the right time and he was lucky enough to say yes. It is an inspirational story, because it taught him about consistent and persistent hard work and the rewards that can come with it. The sessions continued after '95. Manton tells it in a way that does make it inspirational. No, we're not all going to be superstars, but we can be better (simplistically)
Yes, he is out there, but he wants to make a difference. He has gone on to do some really good work with kids, he helped kick off White Lion, while Glenn can be about Glenn, there is little doubt that he does make a positive difference.
If you're Glenn being about Glenn, but still making a (positive) difference to young people's lives, that's A ok with me...
Finals, then 4 in a row!
