#22 Epiphany While in the Alps? - Jimmy Stanley, Alpifany

For Jimmy Stanley, working on a holiday "doesn't suck". It's because his job is as an airplane pilot, and as an ex-fighter pilot, he still loves being in the air. It started when his sister was dating a military pilot who set him down and explained all the paths to flying and by the ninth grade he was hooked. Originally wanting to be a helicopter pilot, he fell in love with jets, applied to be a Navy pilot and got into the program. An Executive MBA, earned while in the Navy, prompted him to go the entrepreneurial route in life. He explored importing business ideas from Italy, where he had been stationed, but chose a different route. While skiing in Italy, it dawned on him that he really wished he had better apparel, and figured there were others who felt the same way. And the quest began to develop ski underwear that wasn't long john, wouldn't be so bulky, but would keep you warm.
