## Resource

In the 1880s, a young pharmacist fell for his employer's daughter and was told flatly that he wasn't good enough. Heartbroken, he left town and went west. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy tells the surprising true story behind Dr. Pepper, the 23-flavor soda that still generates $12 billion a year, and the man whose rejection set it all in motion. It's a hero's journey with two success ingredients baked in: that your adversity is often your advantage, and that the best revenge is massive success. Darren unpacks how to turn emotional pain into fuel. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day. Go to DarrenDaily at http://darrendaily.com/join to learn more.
