A 17-year-old was going door-to-door promoting his lawn care and pressure washing business when, according to investigators, he was a$saulted by an intoxicated woman in Santa Rosa County, Florida.

Deputies say Dina Wood knocked the teen's glasses off, took his flyers, attempted to take his bike, and even entered a neighbor's home during the chaos. When officers recovered the teen's glasses and flyers where he said the struggle occurred, Wood's story reportedly fell apart.

She was arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, battery on a minor, larceny, and resisting an officer.

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Papa John's

In 2017, John Schnatter was worth over $1 billion. He transformed Papa John’s from a broom closet into a company with more than 5,000 locations worldwide. It became the third largest pizza chain in America, and he was a prominent sponsor across NFL broadcasts. He famously put his face on every pizza box the company delivered.

Then one day, on an earnings call with investors, he opened his mouth and said a few sentences that would cost him half a billion dollars and send the company into a tailspin. By the time it was over, the company began acting as if he had never existed. They scrubbed his name and face from advertisements and pizza boxes, and they even created a poison pill to prevent him from ever returning to control of the company.

Today, Papa John’s is still operating, with over 6,000 locations in 50 countries, but the stock remains down 77% from its peak. And it turns out the problems that hit Papa John’s were not just because of what he said publicly. The real trouble had started long before that.

This video is the rise and fall of Papa John’s.

Steve Jobs gave a 15-minute speech at Stanford in 2005 that still changes lives today:

"Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories."

Story 1: Connecting the dots

"I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months. I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made."

Steve shares what happened next:

"Because I had dropped out, I decided to take a calligraphy class. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the space between letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh, it all came back to me. It was the first computer with beautiful typography."

He reflects:

"You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path."

Story 2: Love and loss

"At 30, I got fired from Apple, the company I started. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone. It was devastating. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley."

Steve explains what saved him:

"But something slowly began to dawn on me, I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over."

He shares what came next:

"Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. During the next five years, I started NeXT, started Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple."

His advice:

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life. The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."

Story 3: Death

"When I was 17, I read a quote: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' Since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

Steve shares why death is such a powerful tool:

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

He concludes:

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

His final words:

"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
