[31] Brenden Kumarasamy: An accidental opportunity that alleviated my family out of poverty

Brenden's competitive drive was fueled by a father that told him he would never be successful.

Fast forward to college when Brenden signs up for "case competitions," where students present to large corporations and nail a position if they do well. The odds? 300 presenters, 70 get picked.

Find out how Brenden was able to shortcut 40 years of knowledge into four by perfecting and winning case competitions. Then, you ask yourself, "Wow, he scratched the winning lotto ticket [a to-die-for career opportunity with IBM) and  walked away?"

The secret to Brenden's success? "I won because I worked on my communication tools. At 20, I'm presenting to the Board of Walmart, and my goal is to present in a way that is way better than their executives. "

"If you present 20% better, you'll stand up 100% of the time."
