After his parents divorced, Johnson lived with his mother and his stepfather, the owner of a trucking company. At 19, Johnson became a Mormon missionary, customary for young men in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He spent two years in Ecuador, where he proselytized and performed service projects in impoverished communities.〔 Johnson says that his time as a missionary was transformative: After returning, he noted that the experience not only made him deeply appreciative of the way of life he had at home, but also inspired him to devote his life to improving the lives of others.〔 To do that, he set on a plan to build a company and earn enough money to retire by the time he turned 30 with the resources to pursue that goal. Johnson graduated with a BA in International Studies from Brigham Young University in 2003 and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 2007.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
