Is it possible that the best way to grow your business is to avoid being a businessperson?
It’s not typical to hear expert business advice from a game show host… but there’s nothing typical about Boruch Perlowitz. A filmmaker, game show host, teacher, pilot, and more, Boruch has carved out a unique niche in the Orthodox Jewish community as an entertainer and educator. Boruch believes that one of the secrets to his success is making sure not to think like a businessman and that his best marketing was not doing marketing at all. He has a fascinating perspective and a unique story, so don’t miss Meny’s conversation with Baruch as they discuss the kinds of marketing that work best when to prioritize quality over price, the corporate benefits that come with a positive attitude, the importance of delegating, dealing with failure, and much more.
Baruch’s films are famous for being both entertaining and educational, while also having high production values. Most of his day is devoted to his role as a game show host, where he entertains corporate and private clients in a creative and fun manner. One of the most interesting characters in the Orthodox Jewish scene, Boruch lives in New Jersey with his wife and children.
