How John Cousins Built Million-Dollar Companies From Scratch with Harry Sardinas
John Cousins took two companies public and ran public companies for 15 years as CFO and CEO. He began his journey as an electrical engineer working in rock and roll recording studios, later transitioning into television with ABC in New York. His entrepreneurial path started when he realized he was creating value for companies but not capturing it himself. After investing over $100,000 in business school while supporting a young family, he eventually founded MBA ASAP, offering affordable business education. John emphasizes the importance of turning ideas into practical products, taking daily action, and eliminating bad habits to achieve success.
