But you know one thing that your friend does not: one team is known for running elaborate plays while the other doesn’t even have a playbook. Which team will you bet on? I think it’s obvious, the one who is pr...

Picture being in your parent's car at 3 years old and you drive under a green light. You notice the color green, but you don’t know what it means. But your parents know! They know that green means go, yellow means yield, and red means stop. You don’t find that out for a year later. That’s what I refer to as a GREEN LIGHT MOMENT-it’s a moment where something happens, and you know exactly what to do…

What if there are several GREENLI...
