(Though Samuels never did return for his MBA, he has taken executive education programs at the business schools of both Harvard and Stanford.)

A Bite of the Big Apple

Day by day and week by week, Samuels and his brothers have pushed forward in the highly competitive New York metro marketplace. Samuels prefers to surround himself with co-workers he deems as being smarter than he is and who bring different elements to the company table. Hiring the right people to do the right jobs, he stresses, is especially important.
