International Speaker
When new entrepreneurs in Mongolia asked the U.S. Embassy for assistance with their businesses, the embassy contacted the State Department and the State Department contacted Steve.
The result was a two-week speaking tour where Steve spoke in Seoul at the South Korean Stock Exchange and in the capital of Mongolia, Ulaan Bataar.
The State Department was so happy with Steve’s work that it subsequently sent him on speaking tours to India, Japan, Turkmenistan, Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank.
