What if the lifeline your business needed… came from the person sitting next to you on a plane?

In this inspiring true story, Troy G. Smith shares the unforgettable moment that changed the trajectory of his life and saved his startup at the very edge of collapse.

In 2003, his tech company was out of cash, out of options, and one missed deal away from shutting down. After an unfruitful client trip, Troy boarded a plane home with a heavy heart — and sat next to a stranger whose quiet, pointed questions sparked a decision that would rewrite the future of his company.

What followed was a sequence of events that only faith could explain: a phone call, a check, and a second chance that carried the business from the brink to acquisition — and beyond.

In this short, powerful read, you’ll discover:

• The real pressure of leading a startup through near-failure
• How honesty and transparency earned deep loyalty from a small team
• The power of divine timing and the courage to try one more time
• What it means to build something that outlasts you

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a person of faith, or simply someone facing your own “this might be it” moment — this book will remind you that breakthrough can show up in the most unexpected ways.

Sometimes, the connection that changes everything… isn’t in your laptop.
It’s in the seat next to you.
