"Who invited you?" Nobody. I posted my way in. I said that 5 times last night at the @stripmallguy RealEstate Gala, 100 stories up on the Edge at Hudson Yards. A room full of real estate GOATs… @BobKnakal, @CoryZelnik , @kenashley (pic below). Red carpet content with @ChrisOkada and @nilelundgren . Always good to see my guy @molzer, we're recording a podcast today. Finally met @sweatystartup and @Dirtdog, guys I've been reading on X for years and never thought I'd meet. Don, grateful for the invite. Now I just need to get you on the podcast next. All night, same 3 questions: "How'd you get in?" "Who do you know?" "Who brought you?" Every time, same answer. I posted my way in. I had to earn it. Every relationship in that room started the same way. A comment. A DM. A post that got 12 likes. Nothing I wrote last year felt important. Most of it flopped. None of it was the "viral moment" people wait for. But it all compounded into a room 1,100 ft in the air where everyone knew my name. If you're on the fence about posting, stop waiting. The post you write today isn't about today. It's about who shows up in the room a year from now. PS — most of my photos are on other people's phones. If you were there, drop yours 👇

The Knicks really just united all of New York City with this run.

Thank you @nypost for highlighting this story, and thank you to everyone showing support. To everyone who is commenting even more hate and justifying this, you are just proving the point even more that antisemitism is real.

the average NYC renter applies to 10 apartments before getting approved. each application: $20. that's $200 just in fees. plus broker fees. first month. last month. security deposit. the cost of simply moving inside the same city is insane. we built the Exchange so renters verify once and apartments come to them. one profile. no repeated paperwork. no giving your identity to 15 different landlords. vryfiexchange.com

Shabbat Shalom to all my Jews and non-Jews out there, take this weekend to turn off the phones and spend time with family and God. You’ll thank me after.

the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1883. it took 14 years to build. 27 people died during construction. now 100,000 people cross it every day and most of them are taking selfies. we walk on top of someone else's life's work every single day.

NYC's subway system has 472 stations. Built in 1904. Still running the same bones 122 years later. The newest line took about 10 years and $4.5 billion to add 3 stops. no other major city runs a subway 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. tokyo shuts down at midnight. london closes by 1am. NYC keeps going. that's either dedication or insanity. probably both.

AI just created a tenant that doesn't exist. And a broker in Brooklyn approved them. The pay stubs looked real. The bank statements matched. The ID passed every standard screening tool on the market. All of it was fabricated. The broker didn't miss anything. The documents were perfect. No human could have caught it. But here's what nobody talks about. NYC caps application fees at $20. So every screening company has to fit their entire verification process into that budget. The first thing they cut? Income verification. The most expensive step. That means landlords are approving tenants based on credit and ID alone. No one checks if the income is real. And fraudsters have figured this out. VryfID is the only company in NYC doing full income verification within the $20 cap. We verify income directly from the source. Bank data. Payroll systems. Tax records. Every other company says it can't be done at that price. We built it. If you're a broker or landlord approving tenants without verifying income, you're exposed. Comment "VERIFY" and I'll show you how we solve this.

See you soon @elonmusk

i wore my kippah to a meeting in Midtown yesterday. the guy across the table looked at it for about 3 seconds before we started talking. didn't say anything. didn't have to. i could feel him deciding something about me before i opened my mouth. we closed the deal. being visibly Jewish in business in 2026 means you walk into every room knowing some people made up their mind about you before you sat down. you show up anyway.

NYC has more people living in it than 39 individual US states. 8.3 million in 302 square miles. If NYC were its own state, it'd be the 11th largest. And we all share one airport road that's perpetually broken.

Just read these messages and try to tell me antisemitism isn’t real. And these are just a few examples. I’m not a big time creator or anything, and yet I still get these messages everyday across all social media platforms. So I can’t even imagine what larger influencers and people are facing. It’s been so normalized to hate Jews that there will be people in these comments that will still argue against it, saying it’s fake, or that this isn’t antisemitism. If you are a normal, sane human being, you can clearly see how disgusting this is. I don’t even know if these people are real or just bots at this point, but we need to do something about this. I think it starts with leading by example, and honestly just not even engaging with these people and giving them the satisfaction.

i got stopped on the street yesterday by a guy who recognized me from a video. he wasn't Jewish. he just said "i saw your kippah post and wanted to say i respect it." stranger on 34th street. 15 second conversation. made my whole week.

Stand up to hate. Stand up to antisemitism. We need more love in this world.

NYC's public library system has 92 branches and over 50 million items. Free. For anyone. With a library card that takes 5 minutes to get. The best deal in a city where everything costs too much.

NYC has one of the highest concentrations of synagogues on earth. roughly 1,000 across the five boroughs. and on any given saturday morning, half of them are standing room only. this city runs on a lot of things. faith is one nobody talks about.

NYC has roughly 27,000 food establishments. more than any city in america. delis, bodegas, coffee shops, sit down restaurants. all of it. LA city proper has about 7,000. chicago has about 7,500. NYC has nearly 4x both. and roughly one new restaurant opens every single day. knowing that about 1 in 3 won't survive three years. nearly half won't make it to five. every restaurant you walk into in this city is a bet someone made with their life savings, their family's recipe, their whole identity. and most new yorkers just argue about which dollar slice is best. that's the most new york thing i've ever heard.

NYC produces roughly 22,000 tons of garbage every single day. that's the weight of nearly 100 Statues of Liberty. thrown in the trash. every 24 hours. and we still just pile it on the curb like it's 1950.

Knicks in 5.

Someone wake the Knicks up please

i was at an event last week and a muslim guy came up to me and said he saw my kippah post. he didn't have to say anything. we were strangers at a crowded event. but he walked over and told me he shows his support. that's the part of New York nobody puts on a highlight reel.
