0:00.0 | Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day. |
0:07.3 | Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy. |
0:13.1 | Justin Horner was driving down a busy freeway in Portland, Oregon in 2011 when his tire blew up. |
0:19.0 | Justin pulled over to repair his tire. He discovered that he had a spare, |
0:22.7 | but he needed a jack. So he made some big signs that said he needed help, put them in his car's |
0:28.8 | rear-free window, and waited on the side of the road. For three hours, nobody stopped. |
0:34.7 | Then, right around the time that he was about to give up to try and maybe hitchhike |
0:39.1 | home, a van pulled up. Out of the van bounded an entire migrant working family. They were a seasonal |
0:44.6 | agricultural migrant family in Oregon picking fruit during the harvest. They didn't speak any English |

1:23.0 | over to the car, put it under the jack, and managed to lift the car. Now, they just had to remove the busted |
1:28.9 | wheel. The father handed Justin his lug wrench, and Justin started twisting on the bolts of the tire, |
1:34.5 | but the wrench was flimsy, and before he knew it, he broke it. I just stripped the head, |
1:40.1 | clean off his head, Justin. The father took it from Justin and handed it to his wife. |
1:44.2 | They had a short conversation and she got on their van and took off. |
1:47.5 | It was explained to Justin by the little daughter that her mom was going to the store |
