Emma, why don't you come up on stage Emma Cohen: That music makes me nervous. Chris Larkins: Does it now? Emma Cohen: Yes. Chris Larkins: So, Emma, I touched a little bit upon your background, but why don't you tell our community here a little bit more about you? Is this your first company that you started? Emma Cohen: Yeah. So this is the first company, while the first real company. I had a lot of weird hustles before this, but yeah, the Final Co, first company, and we started almost exactly a year ago, through a Kickstarter and didn't really know what was going to happen, and then it went bonanza. Good timing. CEO Coaching International Chris Larkins: So what does bonanza mean?

  • 2015 Fall Press Report
    ROBERT HERJAVEC 2015 Fall Press Report OUTLET: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ISSUE: DECEMBER 4, 2015 CIRCULATION: 73,875 IMPRESSIONS: 221,625 OUTLET: RUNNERS WORLD ISSUE: NOVEMBER 6, 2015 IMPRESSIONS: 2,625,589 I got fired when I was younger, started an internet security business, and that was that. Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.
