Have you ever watched a movie that lingered in your thoughts long after the credits rolled? That’s exactly how I felt after sitting down with Mitchell Cohen. Many share this sentiment as Mitchell is a true Renaissance man—a thinker, doer, musician, and composer. His mesmerizing cadence makes every moment spent listening to him an absolute delight.

Mitchell has devoted much of his life to addressing one of Canada’s most pressing challenges: affordable housing.

Mitchell's influence is immense as the CEO of The Daniels Corporation, one of the country’s leading builders and developers. His focus isn’t just on constructing buildings; it’s on creating thriving communities. Take Regent Park in Toronto—once a neighbourhood many avoided, it’s now a city's crown jewel. Mitchell’s vision and dedication have transformed it into a place where people want to live, work, and connect, and the project is now a model for city planners worldwide.

I encourage you to share Mitchell’s story with young adults. It’s an inspiring reminder of the power of purpose—how aligning your passions with a meaningful pursuit can shape your life and leave a lasting legacy for others.
