Motivational speaker David Rush was looking for a way to share a message about perseverance when he came up with a zany idea: He would teach himself to juggle blindfolded, and go for the Guinness World Record. He’d learned to juggle while he was in college, and it seemed like a fun way to draw attention while also making up for the times he’d tried and failed to juggle while jogging, he said. Rush practised juggling while blindfolded for weeks at his home in Boise, then in late 2015, he broke the world record with a time of 6 minutes 34 seconds.
It was heady stuff. Soon he decided that winning one Guinness title wasn’t enough. He wanted to break as many records as he could.
