The Miracle That Shut Down A Strip Club
Discover the story behind Shalom Jacobs, an entrepreneur, real estate investor, hotel owner, and Chabad philanthropist whose journey began with just $1,200 in his pocket after moving to America from Scotland. In this fascinating, funny, and deeply inspiring episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael Greenfield sits down with Shalom to explore the incredible journey that took him from working for $7 an hour in Brooklyn to building a successful real estate and hospitality business across the United States. Shalom shares the untold stories behind his biggest wins and hardest setbacks, including how he helped shut down the infamous High Heels strip club in Queens and transformed it into a place that brought light back to the community, the risks he took during the 2008 financial crisis, and how some of his greatest opportunities came from moments when everything seemed to be falling apart. The conversation explores entrepreneurship, real estate investing, hotel ownership, business partnerships, raising capital, immigration, Chabad, growing up in Scotland, moving to America with almost nothing, giving back to the Jewish community, and the lessons Shalom has learned from decades of building businesses and helping others succeed. Shalom also opens up about his family's remarkable Chabad history, the influence of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, navigating financial crashes, investing during uncertainty, and why he believes success is ultimately measured by the impact you have on other people's lives. This isn't just a conversation about business. It's a conversation about faith, resilience, opportunity, generosity, and what it really takes to build something meaningful from nothing.
