“If I see further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

~Sir Isaac Newton~

Mordant & McFall debate over their differing styles and what they bring to the table.  McFall believes Mordant should bring more personal stories to help illustrate his points better.  Mordant believes McFall should seek out new teaching, going boldly where he may not have gone before.  Thus we set the stage for a Motivational cage match – with You being the clear winner coming out on top!
