This business partnership not only helped Berthel Fisher establish a winning public image, but it also gave birth to one of the most important and enduring friendships of Tom Berthel's life. Fry became a mentor and father figure to Berthel, and the wisdom Fry bestowed on him through their mutual friendship taught Berthel invaluable lessons in leadership, motivation, and what it takes to be a winner in business and in life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These are the lessons that form the core of \u003ci\u003eBeyond Xs and Os\u003c\/i\u003e.
