Sam Wyly
As young Bubba, Sam Wyly was transported via rowboat to his one room schoolhouse, and as an adult he graduated with an MBA as a Paton Scholar from the University of Michigan. In high school, after previous heartbreaking defeats, Bubba, alongside his football team, went up against their arch rival to win a long awaited, highly anticipated state playoff game. By adulthood Sam and his partners were taking on massive business monopolies to fight against unjust industry domination that negatively impacted countless individuals. Sam's journey from a small-town boy known as Bubba to billionaire entrepreneur is a compelling story about one man's evolution as an individual; one who was able to grow and transform himself over and over, all the while maintaining a steadfast connection to the values and beliefs he has always held.
