I am so excited to watch Season Two of THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. I think the cast is phenomenal and I can already see the dynamics coming into play.

I have to say being on Season One turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. In the aftermath of the show I’ve been kept pretty busy, including a ...

This summer I’m on tour speaking to women all around the country about entrepreneurship and empowerment. What an amazing experience it has been so far! I have loved meeting the incredible women who have created one-of-a-kind businesses in spite of the death of a spouse, raising 3 or 4 kids on their own, etc.

I really feel that it is these ...

Our country is in turmoil politically and economically.

The “win by any means necessary” mentality has hurt us. In the past, it has brought us the likes of Enron, and today the current mortgage crisis rages on with no end in sight. We are reaping what we have sown.

In this episode, the challenge was to sell as many tickets as possible (for as much money as possible) for a variety of Broadway shows. I took a page from my “Lessons Learned” book, and decided to channel the great Gene Simmons and use my Rolodex to the max.

My friends at Cushman and Wakefield really came through for me, as ...

The trait that I admire most (and which is sorely missing in much of the business world) is integrity. Don’t be fooled by any preconceived notions that you might have about Gene Simmons. Despite some of the wacky antics you’ve seen in the past few episodes, Gene is not just a rock star, he is a man with a vision ...

It was hard to watch Nadia Comaneci leave the show. I admire her and have nothing but great respect for her, and count myself lucky to now be able to call her a friend. Nadia was one of my childhood idols and I was enthralled, along with the rest of the world, when she achieved true perfection at the 1976 ...
