Episode 112: Today’s read was recommended by my buddy Sam Parr & it was written by Jason Cohen, a serial entrepreneur who has built 4 businesses, resulting in 2 exits and 2 unicorns. The essay is called Rich vs. King in the Real World & it explores Jason’s decision to sell his business, the unexpected criticism he received from friends & colleagues, and why he believes it was ultimately the right thing for him.
