person who risks all to chase an elusive screwball dream


Were you the quirky kid? The one who marched to the beat of a different tambourine? You could be the next billionaire in a string of outliers like Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Or, you could be so damn content that your bank balance is the least of your worries. Entrepreneur Sig Schmalhofer started as an immigrant with nothing more than a need for happiness and satisfaction. The journey itself turned into both.


Not without pitfalls, Schmalhofer's destiny was the American dream. Was it luck, tenacity or just common sense?


After the 90s housing crash, a broke Schmalhofer carries on as if he has a guardian angel rather than a mountain of debt. Follow the failures, near misses, and the overwhelming decisions that lead to his "happiest man on earth" designation. How many chances do you get? And when do you achieve success?
