http://www.BedrosKeuilian.com presents: NY State of Mind New York is a city shaped by those who dream big and aspire for greatness. In fact, it has paved the way for New York native Brandon Steiner who has been called "one of the most innovative, influential figures in the history of sports memorabilia." It’s Brandon’s resilient mindset that literally created an industry.  In 1987, Brandon launched Steiner Sports, a sports marketing company, with only $4,000 in an effort to pair athletes with businesses. Since then, Steiner has developed partnerships with Yankee Stadium, Dallas Cowboys, Notre Dame Football, and Madison Square Garden, just to name a few.  Today, Steiner is a motivational speaker, author, and media personality with an incredible success story you don't want to miss.  Taken from episode 85, Bedros Keuilian and Brandon Steiner discuss the motivation behind Brandon's success, how entrepreneurship often comes from a place of pain, signing Mark Messier to his first collectible deal, and so much more. "I say to people in entrepreneurship all the time, your first idea is not your best idea. You've got to keep grinding. You've got to keep going after it. Don't settle for 'some' success. If you want to be extraordinary and significant, keep going."  -Brandon Steiner.
