Ben Reinberg: I OWN IT Ben Reinberg

What does it mean to be truly happy?
Deepak Ohri graces today’s episode of the I Own It podcast. He is a sought-after public speaker, author of the book “A Bridge Not Too Far: Where Creativity Meets Innovation”, and founder and CEO of lebua Hotels and Resorts, as featured in the movie, “The Hangover Part II.”
He believes that no matter where you started, success and achievement are possible. His proactive leadership and management skills allowed him to weather the biggest storm yet – the COVID-19 pandemic. Not one employee was left behind!
He dares you to dream… and dream BIG! And he doesn’t teach happiness. He takes you back to it! His deep love for people motivated him to guide others in attaining clarity and eliminating distractions to see what they truly want in life.
Tune in as Deepak Ohri lays it all – his modest childhood, the reason behind his voracious reading habits, the importance of putting your people first, keeping your word as an entrepreneur, and finding your own meaning to luxury and happiness.
