    M.J. Gottlieb

    M.J. Gottlieb was a great hoops player, who was embedded in the New York City hip-hop community. He also had the gift of gab and could sell just about anything. Those skills led several successful businesses to take off but his addiction to cocaine and alcohol derailed his ability to contribute and ended his career and almost his life. 

    Now, 12 years sober, he's created a social network and dating app, but most importantly he's created hope for so many in need of it.
