Mr. Orfalea has worked diligently learning to live with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder while building America 's largest business service company employing 22,000 co-workers with 1,700 locations worldwide. When he retired in 2000, Paul launched significant philanthropic efforts through the Orfalea Family Foundation and has donated to many California education institutions and child development centers. He continues to inspire others by speaking at schools for those with learning distinctions like himself, letting them know that learning differences can be considered learning opportunities, and that life's challenges can be overcome.
