I have a deep passion for analyzing success stories, and extracting useful learning points from them. My most recent obsession has been ESPN’s video about how a guy, born without arms, rose to world class success as a vehicle engineer. The video however lasts only 7 – short – minutes. But It Actually Took That Guy 22 […]

“America’s environment is what makes achievements like Richie Parker’s possible”.  That’s a paraphrased version of the comment made on Facebook, by someone who watched the ESPN profile video (on this facebook profile) of the armless 30 year old vehicle engineer’s life.
