Steiner is known for representing sports legendary players such as Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, and Mariano Rivero, and is motivating, educating, and inspiring audiences across the United States with his insights and business strategies that have helped him achieve monumental success.
“If you want to find your passion, start with a purpose. Passion is not the initiator. It is the by-product of finding your purpose and then being committed to pursuing it. You need to ask yourself, what am I offering that differentiates me from others? What problem am I solving? Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. If you won’t ask, you won’t get”, said Steiner, who has been credited with revolutionizing the sports memorabilia industry, is the founder and president of The Steiner Agency, and CollectibleXchange, an online platform for fans, collectors, store owners, celebrities, athletes and teams to buy and sell collectibles.
Representatives from the New Jersey State Police and Troopers United Foundation presented up and coming 15-year-old baseball talent Jayden Betances, with a signed New York Yankees player Juan Soto jersey that was acquired by Brandon Steiner’s company Collectible Xchange.
Jayden Betances, a remarkable rising-star, youth scholar athlete from Bushwick, New York, who although is only 15-years-old has been making waves across the state with his impressive .321 batting average, .406 on-base percentage, .906 OPS, and a .500 slugging average, where he currently plays for Union County Troopers, under the leadership of Head Coach, New Jersey State Trooper, Detective Reinaldo Cruz Jr.
“Honoring Jayden at the upcoming 2XL Imaging motivational event seems fitting, as we see similarities between the entrepreneurial and leadership qualities that have helped Mr. Steiner succeed. We believe hard work, maintaining a positive mindset, and a little help along the way can make all the difference in the life of this young man and we’re honored to be a part of this truly inspirational event.”, said Cruz, who also serves as the Director of Community Relations for Troopers United Foundation.
