“At Notre Dame, even my statistics teacher wanted me to win.” — Rudy Ruettiger

People sometimes just need inspiration to keep moving along, whether it's going to Notre Dame and being rejected, or taking a long time to bring a sports movie and Hollywood together, which took a long time for 'Rudy.'

Patience is key, as long as you have a purpose.

Motivational speaking became my career. Who would ever have thought it?
