Digital Titans: Meet the New Wealthy

After being fired from his first job helping out at a law firm, Jeff Lerner knew immediately that having a traditional “job” wasn’t going to be for him. So Jeff followed his natural instincts to pursue becoming a jazz musician, but after some bad luck, he found himself $492k in debt. Miraculously, Jeff was able to clear himself of all the debt in just 18 months after discovering affiliate marketing. After launching and then selling his massively successful digital agency, Jeff now considers himself to be an “Entrepreneurial Evangelist” with the mission of spreading the good news about the wide variety of ways people can achieve great success in the modern economy. Tune in to hear his incredible story!
