Not all people in business arrive there via a straight line - life's twists and turns have to be navigated first. Such is definitely the case with Cory Derpak of DIG Earthworks. From being a professional athlete to getting hurt at a young age, to losing his way and then finding redemption in work - his story is as compelling as the man himself.

I loved listening to him talk with great passion about how work represents an extension of competition for him, albeit with greater discipline & confidence, and less volatility & ego. Part of the joy of doing this series is that I always present a story that is still unfolding. I know that is definitely the case with Cory and DIG.
