Blake DiFranco is a down on his luck veteran trying to make ends meet. His parents are gone, his job at a local bookstore is unsatisfying, and he is disenchanted with the world around him. One day, an eccentric family friend approaches him at his office and offers him a life altering opportunity: spend one full day studying the mantras of a mysterious group of teachers and learn the secrets of limitless success. Blake is skeptical, but something compels him to take the opportunity seriously. The next morning, he embarks on a journey to discover the true meaning of the LWT philosophy--Lead Without a Title. He is ushered through the teachings of the four teachers--Anna, a maid who teaches him that every job can be done with passion; Ty, a surfer who reminds him how important it is to rise to the riskiest challenges; Jackson, a former CEO who shows him the value of great relationships; and Jet, a shoe shiner who proves that greatness begins within. Blake's world changes as the teachers make him realize his own potential to achieve greater things than he'd ever imagined.
