Eric’s Reading

How He Sees It.

Eric traces his humility to martial arts. When he received his brown belt, his teacher told him that a student without humility cannot learn, grow, or develop. It clicked, and it stayed.

It shows in how he teaches. He believes he can learn something from everyone, and he shares only what he has tried himself.
