* Brett explores why every student should study three things: entrepreneurship, marketing, and philanthropy and how everyone can-and should-have an entrepreneurial mindset.
* He explains why finding your passion is the most important thing, and that can take time.
* He explains how he redefined success after gaining financial wealth but losing the things most important to him-his health and family.
* He reveals how he has managed to be one of the most prolific deal makers in Canada by focusing on people rather than projects, and following a moral compass that allows him to sleep at night.
* He invites us to redefine success based on what we each value most-like time with family and friends-rather than the artificial trappings of success.

This lavish, sexy ensemble piece is genre-busting, rule-bending, and ambitiously original.
