I introduced Mike to Gotham many years ago as I did Raj Goel, Geraldine Newman, Alice March, Paula Oleska, Sylvie Beljanski, Phyllis Dubrow, Deborah Farkash, Jack Halpern, Gideon Schein, Barry Newman and so many others. It's thrilling to introduce contacts and friends to an organization in which their businesses can thrive and their lives can be enriched by the tremendous opportunity Gotham is if you just offer a friendly hand. Bring a guest and watch the magic.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style="font-size: 13px;">Hats off \U0001f3a9 \U0001f3a9

The depth and breadth of the Gotham network is not to be taken lightly.
