I am also the creator of Let’s Talk Business, a periodic email series sent to over 15,000 subscribers, which discusses effective expansion strategies for budding businesses. These dual roles led me to found the LTB Business Summit, lauded by the media as "North America's first business conference for Jewish entrepreneurs."​ This game-changing movement is helping countless entrepreneurs flourish by providing them with powerful educational tools needed to learn, grow and lead. In addition, I frequently share my strategies for success at public-speaking engagements for regional corporations and trade associations, and am a published business author with two books ranked as Amazon bestsellers.
