Description
Award-winning inspirational speaker Matt Weinstein was on vacation in Antarctica when he learned via satellite telephone that he had lost his entire life savings in the Bernie Madoff scandal. In this highly personal, interactive and entertaining program, Matt Weinstein recounts the inside story of the highly-secretive Madoff fund. “But there is something else I discovered that is much more important,” says Matt--- “how to survive life's inevitable downturns with a sense of basic trust, so that you can land on your feet no matter what. You don't need to have been invested with Bernie Madoff to be feeling the pain of the downturn in the economy right now. These are difficult economic times for everyone, but the great news is that it is possible to find joy, celebration and a sense of meaning even here, even now.” Leave this session inspired and with a new perspective on life.
