Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his fourth high school in four years (he was asked to leave the first three), he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. So, with $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life's highest calling. Today, Frank's life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist, he has created and sold forty-four oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. As a philanthro-capitalist, he has built twenty-nine self-sustaining villages over the last nineteen years in Haiti, providing more than thirteen thousand children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves. A bestselling author, actor, and keynote speaker, he has written seven books in six genres, starred in two movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world. Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon twelve times in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race National Geographic called "the world's toughest footrace." As with all of his books, Frank wrote Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king-size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house-that's Frank's commute to and from work! Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of more than thirty years, split their time between Delray Beach and their "glass cottage" in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm.
