Road Ready

The London $75 burger story from the late 1990s — Samuel's first overseas trip, a room-service bacon cheeseburger that cost seventy-five dollars because he walked into new territory blind. The lesson became his phrase "be road ready": budget, pack, plan, research before entering new territory, anchored on Proverbs 21:5 (KJV). The leadership version: do your homework before new seasons, bring the old map to no new land, and never walk in blind.
