Episode Highlights: 

• Being in the military, Jacobe had noticed that during every retirement ceremony be it a Colonel or a General..the first apology they made was to their family. They apologized for not being at football games or birthdays or baseball games or whatever else it was, and so obviously, that was a sacrifice for them. 
• Jacobe says that was just one sacrifice that he didn't want to make. His dad was always there for me growing up. He was at every football game, every basketball game. To the fact that Jacobe even thought it was annoying at the time, but as he looks at it now, he sees it as a blessing. 
• You hear so many stories about successful people. They have worldly success and then get a divorce or are estranged from their kids or anything else. Jacobe says it is good to think about those things and to have a plan to make sure you keep everything that is important to you in front of you.
