Jeffrey Hayzlett - Author & Entrepreneur

Since our last interview with the fearless Jeffrey Hayzlett, he has left Kodak and written a book; and it’s a really hot book, “The Mirror Test.” He’s plugged in, focused and building his brand through personal interaction and social media. He tells how to use all the tools and he’s even thrown in advice he calls “elevator pitch 2.0.” Esther Steinfeld asks the tough questions for a great interview with a real entrepreneur’s role model.
