The large number of us begin our lives on this world by being born into a loving family. We are cared for from the start, and we are provided all we require to flourish.
Unfortunately, such was not the case for Freddie Figgers, 32. In fact, nothing about his existence could be described as “normal.”
Figgers was discovered on the street as a baby after his birth mom left him since she didn’t want him.
His mother tossed him out like regular garbage, he claims. He is not meant to be here, he explained.
Nathan and Betty Figgers, on the other hand, desired a son and opted to give Freddie another shot. They welcomed little Freddie into their house as adoptive parents, giving him the second opportunity he desperately required.
Figgers noted in a post on his website, it’s incredible that one can meet individuals like that, yet to this day, he has never seen his biological parents. He has never been interested.
As Figgers grew older, it became clear that he had a talent for understanding the physics of electrical gadgets. Before his tenth birthday, he began disassembling and reassembling a 1989 computer his father had given him.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Then, at the age of 12, he got his first job as a computer technician. After only three years, he began developing a cloud database in his own garden, thereby becoming his own boss.
Fast forward to adulthood, and Figgers founded his own telecommunications firm, Figgers Communications, despite never having attended college.
He is currently the founder and CEO of Figgers Wireless, a black-owned telecommunications corporation valued at over $62.3 million dollars that you may have never heard of, one of his YouTube videos’ captions states.
Not only that, but Figgers has been able to express himself creatively. He started inventing gadgets to assist his adopted father, who had Alzheimer’s disease, when he was young.
Figgers could find and communicate with his father at any moment by embedding a two-way communication gadget and GPS tracker in a pair of shoes he wore.
