Stars And CEOs Who Didn’t Succeed Until 45+

Jack Cover

John “Jack” Higson Cover, Jr. formed Taser Systems, Inc. in 1970. He was the inventor of the Taser stun gun. Due to the Taser using gunpowder to launch the darts, the federal government considered it a firearm. Because of this type of classification, it was ruled out of the civilian market and also discouraged police and military sales.

If you have ever wanted a career change but think there is no time for you, just look at Jack Cover. Before inventing the Taser gun, Jack Cover worked as a scientist for institutions including NASA and IBM. His incredibly successful invention launched his successful entrepreneur career at the age of 50.
