Once upon a time a Wauconda High School student, class of 2004, was floundering around, contemplating life as a painter, not terribly ambitious about anything. He had a below average GPA and a job at Jewel. He was enjoying life, perhaps a bit much. But holy about face, Batman! In a just a few short years, he was excelling in college, scoring a double major while holding down various jobs, all which led to his current position as a top-level executive at the Jim Beam corporation. Talk about a pivot! And he does talk about it and how persistence and passion catapulted him into a life that even today amazes him. Join Boomer and Jimmy Ahmuhdoofous for an inspiring conversation on how Rob Allen turned his life around.
