Background
This website, and the upcoming book entitled, America's Greatest Challenge: Succession and Continuity, is the culmination of twenty years of experience and research coming from an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach. The Managing Editor and author, Seph Bay, has studied literature from macro and microeconomics, as well as economic theories from Adam Smith to Amartya Sen, business, management, marketing, political theory, comparative politics, educational theories, major religions of the world, leadership studies, and the wide-ranging concepts of world and American history to begin the conversation on what is, without a doubt, America’s Greatest Challenge.
Almost a decade ago, while mired in research, I was surprised that no academic or government institution, or non-profit organization took on the initiative to open the conversation and discussions on America’s greatest challenge.
A few groups or organizations jabbed at the topic, and brought up the issue when it came into the media limelight. Then the 911 attacks happened and the US government created the Continuity of Government Commission, and the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC). But succession and continuity seemed like a "Noah's Ark" where only a select, handful group is included and tasked with the responsibility.
More recently, politicians asked the American populace about the greatest challenge but nothing concrete ever came out of them.
It also came as a shock that America’s Greatest Challenge has not been taken openly on a national level. In short, we seem to take for granted processes that took us two hundred and thirty-two years to build.
So I took my research and wrote a book. Support came from friends, benefectors and contributors, and others who understood the need; ordinary people living simple lives who share an extraordinary and complex vision about succession and continuity. Together we put-up a website to introduce my findings, and aim to create an organization that will help begin and perpetuate the conversation on America’s Greatest Challenge.
We (everyone who contibuted to the research and the website) hope to raise national, and eventually international, interest on these issues.
Lastly, we are not the only experts on America’s Greatest Challenge and the topics, issues, and academic disciplines that come along with it. We invite every American, and anyone who's interested to take part in the conversation. George Washington never believed he could single-handedly win the Revolution; our anti-trust laws do away with monopolies; and, needless to say, the USA shares power in the UN Security Council.
With your contribution and involvement we hope to know more.
Look at America’s Greatest Challenge in the eyes, and face up to the challenge!
We dare you! There is no greater challenge!
We hope that you will spread the information and knowledge that you gain from this website (and soon from the book).

Managing Editor
