Lesson #18475740.3
Before he was a billionaire, Soichiro Honda was a hot mess.
Excerpt: "Soichiro Honda, an inventive genius with a legendary ego, founded Honda Motor Co., Ltd., in 1948. His exploits have received wide coverage in the Japanese press. Known for his mercurial temperament and bouts of "philandering", he is variously reported to have tossed a geisha out a second story window, climbed inside a septic tank to retrieve a visiting supplier's false teeth (and subsequently placed the teeth in his own mouth), appeared inebriated and in costume before a formal presentation to Honda's bankers requesting financing vital to the firm's survival (the loan was denied), hit a worker on the head with a wrench, and stripped naked before his engineers to assemble a motorcycle engine."
**I don't know why they put "philandering" in quotes. I really don't.
