What this episode covers
I am thrilled to share the 300th episode of #thePOZcast with my most prominent guest ever, my wife Ilona Posner! We filmed this live in a NYC studio so you can catch the video here: Professionally, Ilona is a Partner at Moritt Hock & Hamroff LLP, specializing in Commercial Real Estate. We have been married for almost 14 years and have two beautiful children, Nina and Oliver. We dig deep into her upbringing, how her parents influenced her, and what inspired her to enter Law. In the back half of the show, we unpack our relationship, how we met, how we raise our kids, and so much more deeply personal and meaningful talk that I hope will inspire others. It only took 300 shows to have my wife on, but I felt that I needed to put in the reps to get to a point to have this open, honest, and candid conversation with the person closest to me. I truly hope you all enjoy it, and please LMK how you feel by leaving a review and rating, it goes a long way. Thank you again for hanging with me for 300 episodes. I know your time is valuable, and it means the world to me that you spend it listening to me and my guests.
