[The Knowledge Project Ep. #174] Rey Flemings: A Different Definition of Sucess

Shane Parrish: You told me one of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard the first time we met. We were driving back from dinner and sharing a car on our way to a hotel, and you talked to me about how you got some ventilators. I’m wondering if you can tell that story for everybody.

Rey Flemings: On April 1st, I believe, 2020 … To set the scene, the world is crazy. If you remember at that time, Manhattan had scores of refrigerator trucks because the morgue system couldn’t even process the bodies. This is a very scary time. You know what I mean. This is peak unknown COVID. No one knows where this thing is heading. We got a call from Governor Cuomo’s office, and the call was that the state of New York needed ventilators.
