The story of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis, who became an international hero for his courage and selflessness. Ever since he was a young boy growing up on the streets of Staten Island, New York, Michael Ollis wanted to be a soldier. Inspired by his father, who fought in Vietnam, Mike’s deep desire to serve was cemented on the day his beloved city was attacked. From 9/11 onward, Mike’s one and only mission was to save lives. After two tense combat deployments, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis earned the US Army’s coveted Ranger tab and set his sights on the perilous mountains of eastern Afghanistan. On August 28, 2013, Mike was suddenly caught in the middle of a massive and unprecedented Taliban assault on a coalition military base. Rather than retreat to his bunker, Mike decided to fight. He then encountered a Polish army officer who needed his help. Despite being surrounded by enemy fighters while running low on ammunition, Mike promised the foreign soldier that no matter what, he would have his back. For his final act of bravery, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis would not only receive the Distinguished Service Cross from his own country, but the highest honor that Poland can bestow upon an allied soldier. As an American warrior, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis had all of our backs. This vivid and visceral account of Mike’s selfless 24-year journey will motivate us to “live like Mike” by always putting family, friends and country first.

Taking a small business and making it larger can pose formidable challenges. The entrepreneur’s dream is to create a product or service so highly desired that customers will form lines at their door, eager to hand them money. The entrepreneur’s nightmare is the same...except that there is no one to answer the door, provide the service, deliver the product, or take the money. In short, growth can be hard and even success can kill you. My friends at Vistage, by most measures, the largest educational institution for small and mid-cap CEOs in the world, describe this inherently risky but highly rewarding journey to reach the top of Entrepreneur Mountain as “a life of climb.” The need to make a small business larger is instinctual, even as the very real dangers in making that ascent are predictable. Like scaling a mountain, there are inevitable challenges, losses, and victories along the upward trail. This business fable is written for those who elect to take this journey, despite the dangers, and to the many more who support it. Who’s Got Your Back? describes the best way I’ve witnessed to climb – with a trusted guide who’s made ascents before, a peer group of noncompeting fellow leaders to question your answers, and some carefully curated experts on topics climbers don’t always know in advance they need to learn from. In short, this business fable is my “love letter to Vistage” and its contemporaries who have successfully shepherded this climb for decades and stand ready to help you be safe and successful on yours.
