Contact: Nicole Pooler RECAP OF Donny Deutsch Presentation at Newhouse -By Joseph Ziarko When I first heard that Donny Deutsch was speaking at Newhouse, I was a little skeptical. Honestly, I wondered how this man had time to step down from his multi-billion dollar high horse to mingle with the commoners for an afternoon at SU, and share with us some of his knowledge about becoming a success story. My cynical outlook remained unchanged when I first saw him. He casually sauntered into the auditorium, sporting nothing-but fine, designer jeans and an un-tucked collared shirt. He looked pristine, but was dressed-down enough as to appear non-threatening and approachable. He was tan enough to be confused with a native Floridian, and had smile so white it could stop traffic. I thought to myself, “So this is what success looks like?” Then he began to speak. And it was incredible….
