"If we become passive victims of this crooked way of thinking," he says, "we promote it. If we remain silent, we also give it credence."

Based on direct conversations between our Founding Fathers, there are clear qualities, characteristics, and skills associated with the small minority of people who greatly influence the majority. Influencers rule every aspect of life. And life, at its most basic core, is every individual on the planet keeping score on every individual with whom they have any form of contact.
