Leseprobe 1 Mission Proposal, Mission Purpose I’ve always believed the mission is greater than the man. —­Rick Perry The Sierra Madre has one of the largest rain forests in the Philippines. Situated on the island of Luzon, this rugged jungle is home to a surviving hunter-­gatherer group called the Agta. Several years ago, a group of anthropologists set out to study this Indigenous group of people. The researchers were curious to learn more about how the Agta valued the members of their tribe based on their individual contributions. You’d think the ones who had skills like hunting, gathering, and fishing would top the list, but that wasn’t the case. You know who came out on top? Storytellers. The Agta revered the tribe members who spun tales more than those who literally brought home the bacon, the snacks, and the drinks. While it’s clear they hold it in high esteem, the Agta aren’t the only ones who appreciate the art of storytelling. Stories matter. They’re important. They flavor what might otherwise be a boring lecture. They keep us entertained while we binge-­watch shows on Netflix. Stories can engage and inspire and have an effect on a single life or go on to change thousands. Who doesn’t love a good story? And who doesn’t love telling one?

I’m a competitive guy, even with myself. There are a few elements necessary to create an experience that will live on as a great story, particularly an engagement story. I knew that to make it meaningful to Demi, this moment had to include special people, a beautiful location, and the element of surprise. The goal was to have a mission possible, mission proposal for the girl of my dreams. The ring had to come from Africa, my bride’s homeland. Over the past few months of dating, Demi had dropped a few hints about the styles of rings she liked. They were clues, but I knew the finished product was up to me. After I met with several different jewelers, one in particular had some great recommendations. Over the next few months, Tom Hoyt and I had many conversations about finding the perfect ring, but when he started talking about an “internally flawless diamond,” which is exactly what it sounds like, well, he had my attention. To make matters even more interesting, the responsibly sourced ring had a story of its own, recorded in a beautifully designed book. Giving gifts is my love language. Having found a woman who, to me, was the epitome of flawless beauty in so many ways, I knew this was the ring for her. The diamond included an ar...
