Why 212 Degrees?

The smallest visible difference can create the biggest result.

At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212, it boils and creates steam. Derrick uses that image as a reminder that growth is not always about doing everything differently. Sometimes it is about bringing one more degree of focus, courage, discipline, or imagination to what you already know matters.
