In high school, Jake Ducey set his path on the usual road to success: get into college, get a business degree, and then live the American Dream. Then, Ducey did something extraordinary. He decided to leave the path to make his own trail by traveling the globe. Outside his comfort zone, Ducey experienced generous acts of kindness. An impoverished stranger in Bali gave him food and money when Ducey lost his bank cards. Later, a friend risked his own life to perform a daring rescue when Ducey fell off a cliff. Ducey returned home with an inspiration to encourage others to live by making the best of their situations. Ducey’s stirring speech regards personal satisfaction as being the best you can be in the present time—your time.
