Jack Hartzman is an amazing host — his topical knowledge mixed with conversational interviewing style allow the setting to be as relaxed as just “catching up with an old friend”. In addition, Hartzman is building a brand, thus not only is the interview fun, but it also serves as a vehicle to introduce you/your product to a Jew audience. Full disclosure, I loved Jack before our interview — I love him even more now 🙌🏽

I have known Jack and Monica for over 22 years. They even photographed my wedding 20 years ago!! But I also worked with them on corporate events in NYC. They are well-connected, evolve with improvements in technology and most importantly, a blast to listen to. We can talk for hours and laugh nonstop. I love the variety of featured guests on their podcast. Enjoy learning, connecting and get inspired in our new world of technology and COVID with this podcast.

Wow What a Welcome!

Jack's Welcome is a big Wow! If you are an entrepreneur anywhere in the creative or event industry, this is the podcast for you. Stuck because of this pandemic and time in history?, Jack is an inspiration on How to break out of the box of the usual usual and step into new territory. I'm in the coaching industry, but this still makes major sense for me and I'll be listening to more episodes! Loved it!

This is going to be a total WOW

No kidding. I’m so excited to hear more about visual wow and creating those wow moments. After hearing of Jack’s background, I know this is going to be an epic podcast! I’m not a professional photographer but I’m a pretty dang good amateur one. I’ve made the mistake of hiring or not hiring the right photographer for events that needed to have those wow moments captured on film for eternity, and I’ll regret those decisions for as long as I live. I’m looking forward to hearing Jack especially with this ‘new normal’ for the next little while.
