Coming up on the first episode of 2021, a story to make you feel good. Lord knows, we need something uplifting, particularly in the US.
Today, I am bringing you the story of Richard Montanez, and the invention of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
I often talk about opportunity, and the need to be able to both identify and spot it, but I don’t always talk about the bootstrapping that naturally accompanies opportunity.
The story of Richard Montanez is what happens when you have the ability to spot opportunity, and the discipline to see it through.
