“It’s about the journey, not the destination” is an adage that reminds me of Scot Cohen. Scot, the co-founder of the uber successful Iroquois Capital Fund, started his career with no business education, experience or money. He couldn’t even land a job. All he had was the will to succeed. That desire lead him on a journey in which he launched multiple companies, traveled around the world and stayed a few steps ahead of the competition. 

In this episode, we speak about how journaling helped him in tumultuous times, how he calculates risk and manages failure, and how with the right attitude, hard work, humility and a little luck, you can accomplish amazing things.
