ChaiTech

Real talk with @harley President of Shopify, in conversation with @dan_warner18 Founder & CEO of @chaitechca at the ChaiTech Jewish Innovators Summit. From Jewish stories of resilience to the power of entrepreneurship, Harley Finkelstein reminded us what it means to lead with heart. He shared his powerful family motto that stuck with us: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” This fireside chat was a highlight of the day- and the 300+ people in the room were inspired & elevated by his insights.
