Steven's forthcoming book, The Five Minute Secret: How to Connect with Anyone, Anywhere at Any Time, 2023, ( www.fiveminutesecret.com ) shares his 7 life-changing questions to connect with anyone, including Fortune 100 CEO's and famous entrepreneurs and celebrities alike.

Steven's simple yet powerful strategies resulted in 7 promotions in his corporate life, and the opportunity to start multiple companies with none of his own money without giving away any equity. Hundreds of students and clients of all ages have learned these strategies and have succeeded in practically every way imaginable, no matter how you define success--career, financial, entrepreneurial, marriage, life, family, graduate school, mission work and even starting global non-profit organizations.
