He built a successful career in the Oil and Gas industry over four decades, becoming a respected community member and an inspiration to many, including his growing family. This memoir captures the heartache and triumphs of a man determined to lead a fulfilling life. With his uproarious sense of humor, Gillard shares his unique perspectives on succeeding in life and business while enjoying the journey. His collection of memories is motivational, historical, candid, and self-effacingly humorous.

Through his entertaining and relatable style, Gillard aims to inspire those facing the challenges of being different.
