If you have ever wondered if you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur, then listening to Aldo Bensadoun's story could be a life-changing experience. Entrepreneurship is a natural calling for some. For others, it's a destiny that seems to find them. In this episode, Aldo takes us on a journey from his humble beginnings to building a billion-dollar brand that may have never existed if it wasn't for one life-changing decision that turned a loyal employee into a trailblazing founder who still feels like he has something to prove.
