An Unstoppable Will: What I Learned from Fred Smith's Story
I was listening to The Knowledge Project podcast on Fred Smith , the founder of FedEx. What struck me most was his incredible story of overcoming personal adversity. I had no idea that as a child, he had a medical condition that required him to wear leg braces and that doctors told him he would never walk normally. Through sheer grit and extensive physical therapy, he not only learned to walk without braces but went on to become a varsity athlete!! It's truly an inspiring example of how determination can lead to incredible achievements. This early experience with hardship seems to have been the very foundation of the relentless spirit he later used to build the FedEx empire.
