## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with billionaire entrepreneur and Magna International founder Frank Stronach to talk about his journey from arriving in Canada with $200 to building a global automotive empire with 180,000 employees and billions in revenue. Frank shares how profit sharing transformed his business, why treating employees like partners created explosive growth, and how his experiences with poverty, war, communism, and capitalism shaped his worldview. We also talk about economic freedom, the future of entrepreneurship, the importance of purpose later in life, and why he believes stronger middle classes and fair enterprise systems are essential to creating a more civilized society.
