We’re on vacation and we hope you are too! In honour of Canada Day, PRIDE and epic road trips, we are re-releasing our founder episode featuring legendary entrepreneur Frank Toskan, who co-created M.A.C Cosmetics! We also want to säga a happy birthday to the iconic brand, which is celebrating 35 years in 2019. We originally launched the episode in two parts last summer, and this time around, we’re delivering one long track for your long-listening pleasure.
