Share
A story about Sam Altman's early leadership when he came out as gay in high school.
"He went to John Burroughs in Saint Louis where most schools are either Catholic or some type of Christian. He came out as being gay but he also created some type of gay club. At the Catholic school they were like 'No, we're not about this.' So he led a school walkout.
He's a very courageous guy."
Note: The story was told by Sam Parr, discussing Sam Altman's early leadership qualities and character.
