He has created transformative programs that engage multiple generations, advance personal growth and deepen community involvement, particularly nurturing positive Jewish identity in young people through sports and camp.

On today’s episode. Lenny and I talk about where his career began, how he has helped tens of thousands of kids develop tools for living, for being a good person, and for understanding the importance of community, through team sports. We touch upon his famous mantras AKA Lennyisms, we talk about his game changing programs, Days of Caring and Sharing and Rachmonas Rule.  Lenny talks about his most recent career move into ESports and how his new company, Lost Tribe ESports, is uniting teens around the world in these quarantine times. Of course we discuss Lenny’s personal health and fitness goals and as an avid sports fan, one of his role models and favorite baseball players, Roberto Clemente.
