EP29: From $77m Portfolio Loss To Building Compassionate Capital - John Laine's Story

Can you envision the path of an individual whose life journey includes piled-up hospital bills because of a brain tumor and multiple surgeries, transitioning into the real estate industry from the hospital bed, experiencing foreclosure twice, being homeless due to auction and ultimately building a massive real estate portfolio out of sheer necessity, only to lose that $77 million portfolio at the pinnacle of their investing career?Indeed, this is the remarkable journey of a single individual, not multiple individuals.
