EP1. Bill Morgenstein (Crazy Life of a Kid from Brooklyn)

As stated, Bill’s childhood dream was to play baseball for the New York Yankees. He went on to get his bachelors degree in business from the University of Alabama, while playing baseball as often as time permitted. After his degree he served a term in the military in Korea. Afterward, he began working for a shoe company and eventually became the President of the Kitty Kelly Shoe Company running a chain of shoe stores while at the young age of 35.

His new book is best summed up by a recent review from one of his readers:

“When I read his book, I was very touched. His writing is clear, entertaining and funny. I learned so much more about that kid from Brooklyn, couldn’t put the book down. His crazy and beautiful life, his enthusiasm and the will power to keep going, even when anyone will feel that there is no way to keep going, is amazing.”

Bill is the President of the Marquesa Funding and Consulting Corp since 1970 and helps businesses get the funding they need starting at $1 million dollars.

Get ready for some humorous and instructional anecdotes from Bill including lessons in determination, success and failure – all from the Crazy Kid From Brooklyn.

• I still don’t know how he slept all night with a guy standing on his balcony with a machine gun?

Bill was a delight to interview. You gotta check out his book, which I mentioned more about below. A great guy. A great friend. A great interview!
