Ted Leonsis
- This event has passed.
More than a quarter century ago, at the age of 25, Ted Leonsis – now the owner of the Washington Capitals – was already a highly successful entrepreneur, but reflecting on his life after surviving a plane crash, he realized that he wasn’t truly happy. Walking away from that plane crash, Leonsis was determined to discover the secret to happiness.
Using the same analytical skills that had brought him great business success, he began to study happiness in fellow business executives, successful entertainers, and professional athletes, as well as typical Americans.
