In this episode Christian talks to Mykola Latansky, founder of the True Success Movement and President of the Academy of True Success.

Mykola is Ukrainian and grew up in the Soviet Union. Shortly after the collapse of the USSR he hopped through the now rotting Iron Curtain to explore Western Europe. Not always did he follow all the laws during his exploration – a season in his life that opened his eyes to the opportunities he had.

Today Mykola runs a successful business in 60 countries, based in Kyiv. He is a well-known podcaster in Eastern Europe and he gave a TEDx Talk in Chennai which you may want to check out.
