This week’s episode of Outliers is one of the great untold stories in business. John Bragg’s built 3 companies in 3 completely different industries: blueberries, telecommunications, and aviation. Two are worth billions. The third is on its way. He's the world's largest wild blueberry producer AND owns North America's largest private telecom company. The best part? He’s done it all from a town of 1,100 people that he never left. John was interviewed on The Knowledge Project last year (episode #204) but his story was so captivating that we dedicated an entire Outliers episode to understanding how he defied every rule about where success is supposed to happen. The man who turned down a secure teaching job to pick berries. Who continually shared his best innovations with competitors to help an industry grow. Who never took a dividend for 50 years. Who intentionally overpays for acquisitions because 'it's only available once. It's not always available.' At 85, he's still at it, building for future generations of small-town Nova Scotians he'll never meet. This reads like fiction, except it's real.
