He grew his company to $10,000,000 in annual sales, 90 employees, and three office locations. Anik thought he had the golden touch; then the 2008 financial crisis sent shockwaves through the global economy. As his business crumbled, so did his health. Anik found himself on the brink of bankruptcy and knocking on death’s door strapped to a hospital bed in Amsterdam. “I lost track of who I was and what I wanted to build. I was chasing money the whole time - chasing it so bad that I fell out of love with what I was doing. I started to hate my life. I started to hate my business,” Anik recalls. Out of the ashes, Anik founded a new company with a love of entrepreneurship at its bedrock.
