The Baron Son is an allegorical tale designed as a road map to wealth, power, and success. A legend from centuries past, it is the account

of a young boy who loses everything, and through struggle, finds the secret to become the richest, most powerful man the world has ever known. The above is the brief overview of William R. Patterson's The Baron Son, a book in which the illuminous Tom Peters referred to as being "remarkable — a challenging and satisfying guide to success through inspired strategic leadership." Patterson, who according to Ranking.com is the #1 Business Motivational Speaker in the country has, through The Baron Son, pointed the way to a path of achieving prosperity from adversity. In the process, and in the Acres of Diamonds spirit, Patterson both challenges and motivates us to take ownership of our actions and tap into the boundless potential that exists - perhaps buried deeply - within each and every one of us. But what does it mean to take ownership of our actions? How do we cultivate and bring to the surface our hidden capabilities to succeed? Even more importantly, what is prosperity and success? In today's show I am joined by William R. Patterson, who will share with us his experience and vision for empowerment and the realization of one's greatest potential.
