Despite being born as a dusty coal in the eyes of society, Mark-Anthony "MAC" Claiborne's story corresponds with the mantra of Fall Down 7 Times, Stand Up 8 as he details how failure, mistakes, and heartache ultimately became the vital attributes of his formidable success. Born and raised within the often harsh, cold, and unforgiving climate of Chicago's South Side, Claiborne details how quitting and settling for less were simply never an option throughout his travels from the boulevard to the boardroom. From a failed businessman to a Fortune 15 telecommunications executive, Claiborne's coming of age story depicts the countless slippery slopes encountered along the way which helped to mold him as not only a visionary, but also a devoted father and inspiration to anyone stuck between a rock and a hard place. "Now what that take? Timing. Coal under pressure, what that make? Diamonds - J. Cole"
