He dropped out of college. He lost his mother to heart failure. He worked as a janitor just to get by. But Otis Boykin refused to let failure define him.

In this powerful episode of Hidden Tech Stories, we dive into the untold story of a quiet inventor who revolutionized modern electronics — from the pacemaker to NASA’s space missions — with a resistor so precise, it changed the game.
Through personal loss, systemic racism, and financial hardship, Boykin kept building, inventing, and dreaming — often in silence.
