Abandoned dumpster baby now an entrepreneur worth millions (2019)
- davesailer 6y agoA more in depth version, originally in Spanish: "Freddie Figgers, the baby who was dumped and is now a tech millionaire", BBC Outlook, February 20, 2021, from BBC Mundo via Google Translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&u=https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-56040271 https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&u=https:/... And the podcast which I just found (haven't listened to it yet). "The broken computer that unlocked my fortune." "Abandoned at birth, Freddie Figgers became a tech prodigy. When his beloved adoptive dad got Alzheimer’s, Freddie invented a shoe with GPS tracking that led to his fortune." 09 February 2021, 23 minutes https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p096h1fx https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p096h1fx
