What he also discovered interviewing a range of people for Dark Horse is that there isn’t one defining character trait all dark horses share, like a desire to be a rebel. What Rose found is that these dark horses, the winners no one saw coming, became successful by doing exactly what Rose’s dad suggested - they found their motivation and then did something with it on their own terms. A bar owner who pivoted midcareer and became a successful tailor. A fast-food worker who taught herself about galaxies and stars and became a noted astronomer. This advice came into play again, more recently, when Rose set out to write a book that looks at people who achieved success despite not following the “standard formula” for doing well. When Lecturer Todd Rose, Ed.M.’01, Ed.D.’07, cofounder of Populace and the Laboratory for the Science of Individuality, was struggling in school as a teen, his father gave him advice that had a big impact on him then: Find out what motivates you and stay close to that.
