Why we need to stop sharing American Dream success stories

Why would author Casey Gerald want people to stop highlighting success stories like his own? Gerald says he grew up on “the wrong side of the tracks” and went on to Harvard Business school.

Gerald offers his humble opinion on American opportunity.
