What drives someone to live secretly in a van while attending one of America's most elite universities? Ken Ilgunas stood in a Home Depot parking lot at age 21, watching his hair fall out from stress, his body developing nervous tics, barely keeping up with his college coursework while earning $8.25 an hour pushing shopping carts.

This wasn't just his story; it's the American student debt crisis distilled into one person's breaking point. But unlike millions who surrender to decades of loan payments, Ilgunas heard a whispered voice one spring morning that would change everything: "Go to Alaska."
