With a name like I-Win-Ski its hard to undersell the content of the forthcoming episode. David Iwinski is one of those human beings that you don’t forget. He’s an international man of mystery, with home libraries of more than 13,000 books. His undergraduate degrees were in music (percussion) and 18th century poetry from Duquesne University. His law degree was from University of Pittsburgh. After law school, he spent 8 years working abroad, 75% of which was in Asia countries. His endeavors beyond that can really only be explained by listening to this mind blowing tale of chance and opportunity. Perhaps the phrase that can best describe the role that luck plays in opportunity, is when David talks about running towards projects that others do not see the value in.
