TRANSCRIPT:
Question: What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve overcome?
Michael Kupperman: Well, when I was younger, we lived in England, and then we moved back here and I had an accent for several years that wasn't the best. But as far as, I think the biggest obstacle I have to overcome is being tall. It makes you very visible and you have to compensate a lot for that.
