When Guinness Book of World Record holders get together, each of them will look at each other and say, “Wow, you did that?” They are all amazed by each others accomplishments and deeply respectful of each other. We all have something in our lives that we have done that is fantastic. Guinness Book record holders take this to another dimension.
I recently got to interview Fran Capo, a true renaissance woman. Fran is an adventurer, an author, a Guinness Book record holder for being the fastest talking female in the world, a comedian, a motivational speaker and a writer. Her list does not stop there.

She once walked into a library and said to herself, “If all these people can write books, so can I.” She has now written more than 18 books.
