Stephen Shapiro is a Hall of Fame Innovation Speaker and author. But there is much more to him than just work.

For example, he is a tenor saxophone player and an amateur magician. He enjoys boxing, but only hitting a heavy bag, not humans. He received an 800 on his Math SAT, but only a 510 on English. Growing up, he wanted to be a television game show host, like his role model, Chuck Barris, the host of The Gong Show.
