His unbelievable determination to break records in pull-ups, running 24 hours straight, and other insane records.

The 21 Keys of Success
Freeway Ricky (aka the OG Rick Ross)
At the peak of Freeway Rickys drug-dealing career, he was grossing nearly $1 Billion.
But just as quick as the peak came, it ended.
With the arrest, assets seized, the jig was up.
Sentenced away for decades, Freeway Ricky read the Richest Man in Babylon 20 times.
Freeway Ricky, who was the top dog during the 80s, is the most intense drug culture in recent times in America.
But Freeway Ricky lived through it.
He left with no scratches.
How?
He knew how to communicate with anyone in any room.
He knew how to create a climate of success for everyone around him, no matter how wrong the drug trade is.
Luckily for us, we don’t have to live on the run as Freeway did.
He’s condensed his legendary life into 21 keys of success that can change the way you look at the world.
