I needed a little inspiration in the challenges of being an entrepreneur and inventor. I just checked out the Wright Brothers because at the time they pioneered human flight there were hundreds of others trying to do just the same. I wanted to understand how long it took them.

I couldn’t lay my finger on it exactly but just because a bunch of people with identical, or very similar genes seem to end up being similar in some ways. It’s assumed that must …
