Tom Harrison: this is the road right here sons.
Touching his sons shoulders Can you see it? You want it? This great land, and my blood running through your veins.
I ain't gonna deny, I ain't always been the best dad, but you boys mean the world to me.
I just wanna say I’m sorry for what I did before and I hope you forgive me
Look, boys, life ain't easy, and your old man ain't perfect. But I'm tryin', and that's what matters. We all make mistakes, but we gotta learn from 'em.
He hugs his sons I know I haven’t been there enough and I let work interfere with family time and I’m really sorry about that guys.
squeezes his sons tightly It's okay, Dad. We understand. But from now on, we're gonna make sure we have quality time together, okay? No more missed moments, no more excuses. We're gonna be a family, the way it's supposed to be.
He kisses his sons so how about we go out for dinner tonight and we can catch up
You know what, sons? I think that's a mighty fine idea. Let's make a night of it.
The next day they had lunch together as a family
reaches across the table and puts his hand on Bishop's Sons, I want you to know that I'm proud of you.
Smiling Thanks, Dad. I'm proud of you too.
leans in closer, voice filled with conviction You know what, sons? I've made a decision.
Looking at his father What’s the matter Dad?
pauses, takes a deep breath I'm gonna quit my job, sons. Ain't nothin' more important than you three.
Stares at his father Really, Dad? That's...that's amazing.
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas Alright, sons, let's start planning.
Over the next few weeks, Tom Harrison spends countless hours planning and preparing to start his own business
6 months later he had built and was now working at his business
walks into the office, looking exhausted but determined Sons, it's been tough, but I ain't gonna lie, business is boomin'! We're makin' a name for ourselves, and I couldn't be prouder. But...
Looking at his father What is it, Dad? You seem...tired.
pauses, looks at his sons with a mix of exhaustion and determination Sons, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it.
Concerned What's going on, Dad?
takes a deep breath and looks his sons in the eye Sons, we've been offered a deal. A big one.
That sounds interesting, Dad. What kind of deal?
leans in closer, voice filled with urgency Sons, this here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Eyes widened Really, Dad? What's involved?
leans back in his chair, hands clasped tightly on the desk Well, sons, it seems that a big corporation wants to partner up with us.
Surprised A corporation? What would they want in return?
leans forward, voice filled with determination They want us to expand, sons.
Smiling That's incredible, Dad. But...are you sure it's a good idea?
slams his fist on the table, voice filled with conviction Damn straight I'm sure, sons! This ain't just some flashy get-rich-quick scheme.
Nods Alright, Dad. If you believe in it, then we're with you.
stands up, walks over to his sons, placing a hand on each of their shoulders Sons, I appreciate your trust in me.
Looking at his father We're ready when you are, Dad.
grabs a pen and starts scribbling down notes Alright, sons, let's get to work.
Over the next few weeks they met with this big corporation and went through the contract signing process
slams his fist on the table, voice filled with excitement Hell yeah, sons! We did it! The deal's done!
Laughs That's awesome, Dad! What's next?
picks up the phone and dials a number Sons, get ready to roll! We're gonna need to hire some new staff to help us expand.
