This is Episode 24 of the Dr. Finance Live Podcast hosted by Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV (aka “Dr. Finance®”). Dr. Criniti interviewed Steve Sims, internationally known luxury concierge, successful entrepreneur, author, speaker, and the newly titled "the happen maker" (he makes things happen).

Steve Sims is master of making things happen: he worked with Sir Elton John and Elon Musk, sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed, closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade them while they ate their pasta.

Quoted as “The Real Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve Sims is a best selling author with "Bluefishing - the art of making things happen”, sought-after coach and a speaker at a variety of networks, groups and associations, as well as the Pentagon and Harvard – twice!
