A single dad skipped his big interview to help a woman with a flat tire. “Pay it forward,” he smiled, refusing her money. The next day, he was called for another chance—only to walk into the boardroom and freeze… The sky was the color of wet concrete, rain pelting against my cracked windshield. My old pickup rattled along Route 9. Eleven minutes stood between me and a management interview at Brooks Automotive—the opportunity I had been dreaming about for months. Eleven minutes to change my life.
