Manage episode 331444569 series 2522727
Episode Summary:
Every once in a while our guest on The Sydcast seems to do everything well. Jay Rosenzweig, this week’s guest, is a great example. Entrepreneurial “breathing” is in his bones, whether that means building a major executive search firm, investing in dozens of Web 3.0 startups, or spearheading major initiatives at multiple non-profit organizations (including the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights). Add in music recording artist, publisher of the most important report in Canada on the status of women in leadership, mentor to NBA players and company founders alike, and you start to get the picture. Jay Rosenzweig is all about impact, which makes him the perfect guest for The Sydcast.

- “I take criticism in an objective way if you will, as a mean of self-improvement even if I receive irrational criticism, I don’t let that affect me, so it's a matter of really going more deeply into yourself to understand really the only thing you can control 100% is how you’re feeling inside of yourself” - Jay Rosenzweig [17:32]
