After reading yet another rejection email, Colin took out his frustration on an elderly man struggling at a grocery store. The next day, he discovered that the man he mocked was his new boss, leading to a transformative journey filled with challenges, growth, and unexpected twists. “Another rejection,” Colin muttered, slamming his laptop shut.
He had been applying to funding opportunities for months, sending out dozens of applications, but all he got in return were rejections. None of the investors he had contacted wanted to fund his tech start-up. His office was a mess of empty coffee mugs and overflowing ashtrays, each one a testament to his mounting frustration.

Shocked because Colin came from a long line of lawyers, and studying anything apart from law was something they frowned upon.
