Emmy Award winner, motivational speaker, Rudy Ruettiger (Success Through Failure episode 366: The Real Story of Rudy That You Never Knew: Bold Requests, Relationships, and Impossible Dreams)There are few people known worldwide by their first name. “Rudy” is one of them.

Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, in 27 seconds, carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame.

As fans cheered “RU-DY! RU-DY!” he sacked the quarterback in the last 27 seconds of the only play in the only game of his college football career. He is the only player in the school’s history to be carried off the field on his teammates’ shoulders.

In 1993, his life story was immortalized in the blockbuster film, “Rudy.” Written and produced by Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh, the award-winning team behind “Hoosiers.”

Today, Rudy entertains international corporate audiences as a sought-after motivational speaker with a unique, passionate, and heartfelt style of communicating. He reaches school children, university students, and professional athletes with the same enthusiasm, portraying the human spirit that comes from his personal experiences of adversity and triumph. His captivating personality and powerful message of “YES I CAN” stays with his audiences forever.
