Secret Academy Episode – Larry Kosilla
At the age of 4 or 5 years old, Larry Kosilla asked his mother for a bucket and some soap. She gave him what he asked for and followed him outside where he proceeded to wash his toy cars and trucks. Little did anyone know, Larry included, that this would be a precursor to his future career. Larry went to school to learn commodities training, because he was brought up to think that a successful career was to work in the corporate world getting steady paychecks every month. However, like many entrepreneurs, he soon learned that this was not what he wanted to do.
