Weinstein is the founder and Emperor of Playfair, Inc., an international consulting firm based in Berkeley, California whose philosophy is, “If you take yourself too seriously, there is an excellent chance you’ll wind up seriously ill!” Weinstein was elected to the Professional Speaker’s Hall of Fame by the National Speaker’s Association, and was honored by Successful Meetings Magazine as one of the 21 Top Speakers for the 21st Century.

In this highly personal, interactive and entertaining program, Weinstein recounts the inside story of the highly-secretive Madoff fund. Weinstein reveals that instead of being the crushing blow, the financial scandal taught him how to survive life?s inevitable downturns with a sense of basic trust, so that you can land on your feet no matter what happens. He lost his life savings in the Bernie Madoff fraud, but there are life-saving survival secrets that Madoff could never steal. You don't need to have been invested with Bernie Madoff to be feeling the pain of the financial meltdown right now. These are difficult economic times for everyone, but the good news is that it is still possible to find joy, celebration and a sense of meaning.
