What does a special education student who refused to work for anyone and a 19-year-old facing three lawsuits on his first real estate deal have in common? They both understood early on that traditional paths weren’t built for them. Brian Goldstein’s defiant moment in freshman English, standing up to a teacher who told special education students they’d have to work for others, mirrors Makan Mostafavi’s baptism by fire when his first property investment immediately imploded with seller litigation, a fallen tree, and insurance battles. If you’ve ever felt like the conventional path doesn’t fit, these stories will remind you that your obstacles might be your greatest competitive advantage.
