The $5 Million Mistake That Taught Him How to Live (Ft. Randy Cohen)

Randy Cohen is the founder and Chief Energizing Officer of TicketCity, which he started as a university student with $1,200 and six basketball tickets. Four decades later, he is an author, entrepreneur, connector, father, grandfather and the heart behind the Loop of Love—a philosophy centred on giving back, bringing people together and helping them leave a room feeling better than when they entered.
