Cole Richman Is The Only Ex-Con Who Started A Business In Rehab Episode 125 Only One In The Room

Imagine spending eight years in prison and having no idea where you’ll go or how you’ll make a living once you’re released. Cole Richman, founder and creative director of Bottom Bunk Sneaker House, was given two hundred dollars by the state upon release and welcomed back to the rehab where he’d previously gotten sober. But what would you do if your rehab roommate showed you how you could turn a profit, simply by investing that $200 into resale sneakers? Would you play it safe and hold on to the money the state gave you? Or would you use what you’d learned on the streets and parlay that money into a business?
