I can no longer be accused of being a crazy idealist. If what I imagine exists in reality. That's how I felt after I met Bob Chapman and learned about Barry Waymiller. The company he led. Sixteen years ago, Bob saw my original Ted talk about the why.
And sent me a letter. He claimed to have built a company like the one that I described in my work. The only problem is I tend to write about what's possible. My vision is more of a striving. Clearly.
My curiosity was piqued. And so a couple of months later, I met Bob for lunch. To say he was amazing. Is an understatement. He had an energy like few other CEOs I've ever met before.
