  • Picking Up Where Donny Deutsch left off…and loving it!

    Elizabeth:

    It’s such a pleasure to see you pick up where Donny left off on his CNBC show. It was an hour of business inspiration as well as getting tips and learning tricks from entrepreneurs who have been there already. Can’t wait to hear all episodes.
