Kosher Money

Tuvy Lemberg wasn't exactly the kid anyone expected to become a successful entrepreneur.He struggled in school, got kicked out, dropped out as a teenager, and spent years trying to figure out where he belonged.Then he built a photography products company that brought in millions of dollars in revenue.The money came. The nice cars came. The recognition came. But the happiness he thought would come with all of it? Not so much.In this episode of Kosher Money, Tuvy shares his remarkable journey from struggling student to successful business owner, why financial success left him feeling empty, how he found his way back to Yiddishkeit, and what he learned about taking risks, building businesses, finding love, and starting over.It's an honest conversation about money, happiness, bitachon, and why it's never too late to change the direction of your life.We also get into his latest business venture, Primal Crisp, and what it takes to turn an idea into a real business.His contact is [email protected]👉 ✬ SPONSORS ✬► COLEL CHABAD: And speaking of using money for what actually matters, we want to thank Colel Chabad for partnering with us on this episode.
