About this listen

Imagine accidentally discovering a pending environmental disaster where you live, and having only eight years to try to stop it. That is precisely the situation Cole Summers finds himself in. A planned and preventable fiasco looms in his part of the Great Basin Desert, and it appears to be up to him to use his unique education to spread awareness, rally support, and rectify the situation before it is too late.

Cole is no stranger when it comes to rising to circumstantial challenges. Homeschooled and born into a poor rural family with disabled parents, he started his own farm by age seven. When he was nine, he purchased a 350-acre ranch, and when he was 10, a house. By the time he was 14, he’d forged a plan to tackle the environmental problems of industrial hay farming and aquifer depletion.

It would seem life has prepared Cole for this very calling. His journey through entrepreneurial unschooling has led him through an early path of conquering devastating setbacks on the way to his accomplishments. As you listen to his story, young Mr. Summers hopes that you find his writings equally eye-opening and inspiring for responding to your own challenges and calling in life.

I loved this book! I had a similar experience (but not on the same scale) with my son. I'd ask him to do something and because he didn't know he "couldn't" he'd do things that "adults" did. I see him now do the same with his kids.
I admire Cole's parents for following their guts when it came to raising their children!!
Cole and his family will change lifes!!

The legacy he leaves for all people, young and old, should remind us that where there is a will there’s always a way! A shout out to his PARENTS!! You gave him the world!! Be blessed!

What an amazing journey, and at such a young age!
