#673 - Mark Lenover

The Mark Lenover Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Someone hears a song at the end credits of a somewhat obscure movie called "The Banshee Chapters," starring Ted Levine, who played Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs.” They like the song… no, they love it. With a little curiosity, they look for the artist and along with him, they find a world of creative songwriting and recording. The artist is named Mark Lenover and there are other people who are asking “Who is this guy?”

He is what they call an undiscovered genius. 8 LPs and 3 EPs in less than 10 years? A prolific one too. A very private artist, and what you are about to hear is his first interview ever, conducted by Paul Leslie.

Harris is the man who teaches us how to squeeze the most out of our orange. We all have this idea that we need more money, but what Harris Glasser believes is more important, is to make the best use out of the money we have.

What if we could spend a little less than we make? For those who have debt collectors calling and writing constantly, how do we relieve the pressure? Harris decided he was going to do something about it and wrote his book It’s My Money and I Want It.
