Today's Flash Back Friday episode is from #732 that originally aired on Apr. 22, 2024.
Jerry Rosengarten is a Brooklyn-born serial entrepreneur whose greatest skill is the extraordinary ability to perceive form and structure and opportunity from within disorder, including developing products to deal with dyslexia, reimagining real estate, and investing early and heavily in solar energy. Jerry's first big win came in the 1970s with the Leisure Suit, which became a cultural fashion phenomenon that stoked his confidence and staked his growing desire to build land mark New York projects like the Lofts and the The Bowery Hotel. Today, Jerry owns one of the largest private solar farms in the Northeast, located on Long Island's eastern tip, and his creative passions are focused on environmental stewardship and active advocacy for those suffering from learning disabilities.
