Traditionally the foreword of a book is written by a subject matter expert or someone else who may be in a position to extol the virtues of the editor(s), author(s), and book. This is done to help with the promotion of the book and to lend credibility to the title. But a foreword doesn’t always have to be written by a third party, and the author or editor will sometimes write their own piece for a variety of reasons, as we have done here. Our reason for doing so began nearly 30 years ago. We first met at Immanuel Lutheran College on the Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Grant was a year ahead but was known through mutual friends and a cousin. He was sporty and academic (while Wayne was neither!). We progressed through our school years with no idea or understanding that we would part company in the postschool years, only to have sporadic contact, until our paths would once again cross a decade into the new millennium leading to new collaborations and partnerships. Thanks to a fortuitous “people you may know” notification on Facebook, we renewed contact once again around 2011, and as luck would have it, Grant had recently taken up a teaching/research position at a university in South Australia where Wayne was traveling in the not-too-distant future for a marketing trip. We met up for a bike ride from where Grant was working in the lobby bar of the hotel where Wayne was staying.
