In this first episode of Season 1 of the Project Dream Maker podcast, we talk to Markus William Kasunich. A successful entrepreneur, Markus has a fascinating story.  He grew up in a small town in Southern Ontario, and experienced a near death experience when he was ten. That would shape his life in the years to come, and in his twenties he travelled across the country, spent a year in the forest living off the land, before ending up in a monastic community for nearly a decade in Los Angeles.  When he left the community he had nothing to his name, but within five years had forged a six figure business and a new life.  His story is one of persistence, awareness and guts.  And in this podcast we talk about his struggles, the adjustments necessary to move back into the everyday world, and what he learned as an entrepreneur along the way.
