Steve Sims on Transferring From “Career” to “Passion” – Episode 28
Steve Sims has transferred from banking to launching the worlds most recognized concierge firm—Bluefish Concierge.
Bluefish is not a gopher service, an old boy’s network or a snobby bunch of party crashing showoffs. Please don’t call them to pick up your dry cleaning; that is simply not what they do.
Instead, they offer the highest level of personalized travel, transportation and entertainment-related services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest.
Steve also consults to many high end and new luxury companies in branding and market approach.

Passions
