No Wall Too High: A real David and Goliath story

Len Frier
4.9/5 (18042 ratings)
Description:“I never looked at any of these walls as too much for me to conquer. I just went forward with hope, one small step at a time, and eventually reached my goal.”In 1970 Congress created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, whose chief function was “to ensure that every man and woman in the nation had safe and healthy working conditions.” While necessary, the creation of this act also had a negative side effect: the lock down of the electronics testing field so that one private laboratory was free to monopolize the industry. Leonard Frier, founder and owner of an independent electrical testing laboratory called MET, was determined to have the right to compete in this marketplace, even if it meant going against the U.S. government.At the time of OSHA’s creation, most U.S. standards could, in theory, be used by anyone with the technical ability to perform the necessary tests. Unfortunately for Leonard and others like him in the industry, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) continued to be the only business inspectors would accept laboratory tests from. Leonard knew that by the free market principles of the United States his dream of becoming a competitor should be attainable, and he was willing to fight a fifteen-year battle for that dream to become a reality.It was Leonard’s fighting nature and penchant for saying yes where others have repeatedly said no that allowed him to successfully navigate the onerous justice system against all odds, and come out on top. No Wall Too High is a true David and Goliath tale that candidly discusses the struggle of one individual to achieve the American dream.*****In 1970, Richard Nixon signed an act which created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, whose chief function was to “assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance”. But what the act also did was lock down the electronics testing field so that one private laboratory was free to dominate the industry...that is, until Len Frier came along. Len's penchant for saying yes where others have repeatedly said no paired with his perfectly weighted moral compass allowed him to successfully navigate the onerous justice system against all odds, and come out on top. By candidly discussing the struggle of one individual to achieve the American dream, this memoir also highlights its achievability, presenting readers with optimism and inspiration. Part memoir, part narrative of one man’s extraordinary fight for justice, No Wall Too High tells the story of how one small businessman took on a government organization’s endorsement of an illegal monopoly and after a 15 year court fight, he won. This David and Goliath-esque tale is sure to appeal to the American value and affinity for stories concerning dedication, passion, and perseverance in the face of adversity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
