Following high school, Dmytryszyn’s career path took him in many directions, from a small business owner to the marketing director of a Fortune 500


company. Throughout the years, he crossed paths with numerous people and many of them sent him letters, thanking him for inspiring them.


“As I looked back on the things people wrote, I realized that they were writing the same kind of sentiments, and finally it hit me,” he says. “This was my gift back to the world! I reached the road sign that gave me the choice to go left or right. Two weeks before Christmas, I quit my job and decided to share my gift with the world.”
