person can harness emotions, even negative ones, and manage
them to achieve intended goals.
What is the common denominator in all of these definitions? The word
ability. It is not a gift – it is a learned skill that is a direct result of your
motivations and your discipline. Robert Verde’s motivation is clear, and
if you were to ask anyone that has ever met him, they would testify to
the fact that he has a heart of gold. Because of this desire to help others,
he exchanged his learning disabilities for life-changing abilities. The
majority of communication breakdowns in life are a mismanagement

Take Action: Evaluate your ability to perceive, use, understand, and
manage your emotions and you too can find the missing link to successful
relationships.

Jared Hanley is a principal of Brereton, Hanley & Co, a successful
private investment banking firm that handles $200 million dollar mergers
and acquisitions. Before that he was a graduate of Yale University
with a B.A. in Economics and Cognitive Science. Before that he
founded a successful SAT tutoring program. Before that he scored 1590
on his SAT in high school (when 1600 was perfect). Before that he was
just my best friend. We were inseparable from the day we met on the
school bus. You see, he didn’t care if I smelled bad. He was the first

the Game of Life together ever since. His decisive action in the face of
peer disapproval was a defining moment in both of our lives. We live by
Gretzky’s Law, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Jared and
I recently formed Poor Kid Enterprises, LP along with our partners Ryland
Aldrich and Jensen Millar. All of us started with nothing (or less)
and now run successful businesses and lead fulfilled lives. Ryland, who
will always be my little brother, grew up on the same property as I did
