Host Leslie Wilcox welcomes guest Robert Iopa to Long Story Short.

On the day Robert Iopa graduated from Waiakea High School with a 1.7 grade point average, his grandmother looked at him with dismay. "I mean, she literally was looking at me almost with tears in her eyes, saying, 'So, what are you gonna do now?'" Iopa remembers. "In response to my grandmother, I said, 'I'm going to be an architect.'"
