Ralph H. Groce III was born in Pittsburgh and went on to attend Boston University, later moving to New York City after earning his first graduate degree. Throughout his life, Ralph has worked for various companies and founded two of his own businesses—one audacious and the other preposterous. Despite his varied experiences, one thing has remained clear: his childhood ambition to become President of the United States.
This book, however, is not about Ralph’s personal journey; it’s about the collective “we” and “us.” His compulsion to spark change has outweighed any fear of pursuing something audacious. He believes that, as a small spark, he can ignite a movement that will transform the world. Ralph's vision is to foster a coalition of like-minded individuals to create a transformative force for global change. While the task may seem preposterous and audacious, Ralph believes that, at this point, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. His hope is to ignite a flame that will consume the world in a movement of change, one that transcends individual ambition and focuses on the collective power to make a difference.
