With the Internet, you can find all kinds of nuts.

Trust me, I’ve heard some really interesting stories - like the guy below. I’d call him a ‘brilliant’ dumb-ass!

What a story.

An illegitimate child of a 15 year-old mother Abandoned to grandparents who kept him in a closed attic so as to not hear him cry Day-cared and fatherless through childhood Surprisingly adopted as a teen by a step-dad that was the ‘only’ child of a Marine ‘drill’ Instructor Rejected by this step-dad (a narcotics agent) He ‘volunteered’ for a stupid war and became a Vietnam Vet His first wife was a ‘closet’ drug addict, was brutally attacked and beaten by dealers They were divorced within six months, arranged by her parents He broke his neck and became ‘paralyzed’ by falling of a glacier after asking God 'for direction' He was miraculously healed and had a ‘born-again’ experience as a spirit filled Christian His second marriage was ‘unplanned’ Their daughter died unexpectedly at birth They joined a religious ‘cult’ and moved onto a farm and ate donated ‘dumpster’ food Became ‘self-employed‘ and then employer of 17 in million dollar a year company Mistakingly believed in the legal system for 4 years while suing a company for their product failure Lost everything because 'the company' had 'deeper' legal pockets - forcing his bankruptcy Caught his second wife in a 3 year affair with another man Emotionally abandoned his two teens Divorced (again) Rejected and ‘dis-owned’ by his mother Moved into a warehouse Started a .dot-com ‘Upgraded’ to an old mattress factory Ran off with ‘the woman’ he met online They moved in with her ‘step-father’ Fought a custody battle with ‘the woman’s’ bi-polar Ex ‘Invested' in Nigerian Government ‘scam’ His driver’s and business licenses got revoked by his own Ex Jailed for supposed ‘late’ child-support due to the state's record keeping Rode a bicycle to business meetings for 2 years Produced a social network, and ‘the woman’ won the awards ‘the woman’ got in a car wreck and suffered a 'head injury' Co-produced ‘the woman’s’ TV show – had to stop because of her head injury Co-produced ‘the woman’s’ radio show – had to stop because of her head injury He bicycled solo (alone) across America on $15 a day - 3 times Wrote first edition of ‘Entrepreneurial Schizophrenia’ Car-camped as a social enterprise volunteer Dumped ‘the woman’ he loved and moved across the US to a rural town of 452 people Had an ‘emotional’ affair on eHarmony (dumb-ass) Reconciled with ‘the woman’ he loved, and filed retroactive legal marriage ‘papers’ Discovered he had ‘arrested development’ (duh) Started ‘Enterprising Couples’ with 'his wife' of ten years, who stills loves him Wrote this article (edited by 'the woman')

So, would you follow this guy? I mean… what’s next? The guy never gives up, does he?

And neither did 'the woman' (Angelina here)

There are plenty of stories of other failures; Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Mr. Honda, Ford, Edison, etc. Read their accounts and then WRITE YOURS! It does a world of good when it’s written down, and accepted for the ‘drama’ it takes for us to escape ignorance.

One thing I’d say about following this guy… He’s the most transparent ‘dumb-ass’ you’re likely meet that claims to know something first-hand about overcoming challenges! You-know what? He sounds just like my ‘boss’!

You should read Angelina’s story… It’s even better.
