About Jennifer Weissmann

Founded an advertising agency in New York City. Married. Moved to Boulder Colorado. Had babies. Started buying Real Estate for use change. My husband and I decided to take a year away in Tel Aviv Israel so our kids could have a more global life perspective. We fell in love with Israel, its culture, and people. Got our citizenship. The people and stories of resilience intrigued me. During the Corona lockdown, I decided I needed to find some inspiration during the lockdown months. I started a podcast called Going for Greatness (formerly named Finding Inspiration) and have since recorded 32 episodes. While my bias is Israeli stories, the show has evolved into episodes around entrepreneurship. The podcast shares stories of amazing humans The Going for Greatness show shares stories of amazing humans doing amazing things -- against all odds. The world's greatest achievers were first inspired by something or someone. And that is where the show comes in. After almost 5 years there, we decided to return to America. We were tired of Winter so we arrived in Miami in August 2022. Shalom.
