Exploring Steiner's journey to success, the challenges he faced, and his refreshing perspectives on entrepreneurship, the discussion holds kernels of wisdom for budding entrepreneurs and established moguls alike.

Steiner's Genesis in the Sports Memorabilia Industry

A 'give before you get' philosophy is at the heart of his relationship-building strategy, often serving as the key to unlocking larger opportunities and partnerships.

Steiner's approach involves active mentoring, getting 'good at difficulty', being able to manage risk, and raising funds responsibly, all of which contribute to riding the tide of change successfully.
