The Wright Brothers

from Ambition · host Justin Gordon

They were two bicycle mechanics from Ohio with no formal engineering training and no funding who set out to solve a problem that had stumped the best minds in the world. It took them four years of learning, experimenting, and overcoming numerous challenges, but they accomplished what many people around the world thought was impossible. This is the story of the Wright Brothers, and we have a lot to learn from them.
