How to Authentically Be Your Best Podcast

This book isn’t a traditional personal improvement book. It’s an exploration of the meaning of success and how discovering it will get you anywhere in life.

As an entrepreneur and amateur golfer, I have seen two different versions of success. My father, Ziggy, was a Polish WWII POW who immigrated to the U.S. and became a butcher to support his family. He was successful; the most successful person I know till this day. But he wasn’t wealthy. 

I built two companies that became the best in their industries. I had no choice but to – my father told me to “be the best.” I am successful and wealthy. This led me to my book. 

In You Can Be the Best: Life Lessons from the Butcher and the Businessman, I ask you, “what is success?” Success isn’t about wealth; it’s more personal. It’s about reaching your full potential.

You Can Be the Best: Life Lessons from the Butcher and the Businessman is a small but impactful book. I share with you the lessons I have learned from my father, which I have applied to my own life, as well as to the life of others. Full of thought-provoking questions and analogies, it will steer you toward your goal.
