#107 - Chasing Greatness: Shoot for the Moon but Only If You Can Train the Monkey First (Part 2 of 2)

Hello friends👋 Henry VIII ruled over England with an iron fist for thirty-six years. For much of the second half of his reign, his foul mood concerned Parliament. Word went that Henry VIII’s famed temper was down to leg ulcers. Painful and untreatable, they irked the King of England to tyranny. A sour Henry coped by eating and drinking. Being a monarch, he probably had the pick of the spoils. But poor Henry’s ulcered leg didn’t let him burn those calories off. He ballooned. It probably didn’t help his state of mind that for a while he didn’t have a male heir to the throne and he kept going through wives to help him produce one.
