From Wondery, I'm Ais, and this is Who's Amazing Life.

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark on the world,

they were people like you and me still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows. You might be a musician or an athlete,

a scientist, or a painter. You may know what the person accomplished later in life, but now

you can experience everything they faced along the way. From challenges and heartbreak to triumphs and excitement,

all the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world.

There will be clues, so pay attention,

but only at the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as the slam dunk.

Imagine you are standing in a bustling outdoor market, clutching a pair of cheap sunglasses in your hands.

You've been selling bags, watches, and souvenirs to shoppers all day, and this is the last

item you have left. You're the best salesman in your family, even though you're only 11 years old.

Before you end your day, you're going to sell these shades. You scan the crowd,

looking for the right customer. There's got to be someone who needs these, but who is it?

You keep looking and looking and... There, you spot a man shading his eyes with a folded up magazine.

You stride toward him, waving the sunglasses around.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me?

These sunglasses, they are calling your name.
