DAVID COHEN
10 . HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A WORK-LIFE BALANCE WHILE MANAGING PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES ? The Digital world has created both a never ending work cycle but has also allowed for me to be away from my office . I see my kids every day and make sure I am always around .
11 . WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS OR PROFESSIONALS LOOKING TO MAKE THEIR MARK IN THE INDUSTRY ? Learn as much as you can . Don ’ t think you will be CEO in two years . Patience makes all property people geniuses in the end .
12 . WHAT DON ’ T PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU ? I ’ m very much a homebody . I like to be at home or on the mountain .
13 . IF YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING ELSE , WHAT WOULD IT BE ? Game Ranger
14 . WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD DO DIFFERENTLY ? Would love to be in the more affordable space . Could happen soon .
15 . WHAT LASTING LEGACY WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE IN THE WORLD ? I ’ m not too interested in legacy . There are billions of people in the world . As long as I haven ’ t hurt anyone too badly and my family is happy , that ’ s enough for me .
David certainly sets his sights high for both his business and personal life . Next year he is tackling the Marathon des Sables ( or MdS ). This is a multiday race held every year in southern Morocco in the Sahara Desert . This six-day race of about 250 km ( an ultramarathon ), approximately the distance of six regular marathons . The longest single stage is 91 km long .
