Description: This serial entrepreneur started at 19 buying into a nightclub. David Israel started a financial services company, Pawn Exchange, going from a single store to 44 stores with revenue exceeding $48 Million. An absolute freak set of circumstances left David spending $1.3 Million to defend himself from armed robbery in one of his own stores but still he ended up in prison. Not letting his entrepreneurial spirit be dampened, he noticed how popcorn was popular in the house and wrote a business plan for what turned out to be Planet Foods. The AICs were putting M&Ms, peanut butter and all kinds of add-ins to create the great taste and that's what David's first investors bought into. Later, a suggestion by his wife to send white truffle popcorn to Oprah really got the company the publicity that put them on the map. Now David strives to help other AICs and ex-felons get jobs and careers and convinces employers that this is a loyal and resilient labor force.
