How does someone go from looking through the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDSŪ book as a child, marveling at all the amazing things others have done, to breaking more than 150 records in less than 5 years?David Rush shares his journey from ordinary to extraordinary, telling stories with real-life lessons from his record attempts and inspiring his audience to dream big and accomplish more than they ever thought possible.
