I have had the privilege of knowing Blair for more than 40 years, and have worked with him on numerous occasions. I don’t look up to a lot of people, personally and professionally, but he is certainly someone who I admire greatly for so many reasons. He’s an amazing innovator, CEO, speaker, and thought leader. I’ve honestly never met anyone like him. He’s one of those rare people who, when he calls, I always answer — no matter what — because I just know it’s gonna be good. If Forrest Gump, Ferris Bueller and James Bond somehow all had a baby — that would be Blair — he’s everywhere all over the world and into everything. So, if you too are lucky enough to cross paths with Blair, my advice would be to just buckle up and enjoy the ride — it’s definitely going to be an awesome adventure.

On top of that, Blair’s passion for relationships, health and longevity adds a really nice touch to his character. His focus on building meaningful, lasting connections makes him a standout leader.
