Award-winning journalst and author, John Gallagher shares the story of "The Englishman and Detroit" on today's episode.
Randal Charlton, the Englishman, had been a serial entrepreneur when he lost everything in his 50's. He went through about a decade of attempts to start something new and nothing was working.
