THE STORY BEGIND THE LAUNCH BUTTON

FROM TECHNOLOGY EXECUTIVE TO ENTREPRENEUR, INVESTOR & SPEAKER

Everyone has a launch button. Hugh Zaretsky’s mission is to help people find theirs and give them the tools, strategies, technology, and confidence to keep moving forward.

Hugh is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, real estate investor, AI solutions builder, and international speaker and trainer who helps entrepreneurs and business leaders turn ideas into action, leverage technology, build momentum, and create sustainable success.

Hugh’s own launch button came in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. At the time, he was a technology executive in New York City. The experience became a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change and ultimately reshaped his life and career, moving him from corporate technology into real estate investing, entrepreneurship, education, and professional speaking.

Since then, Hugh has trained more than 12,500 entrepreneurs and professionals and delivered more than 1,350 presentations. His speaking experience includes Fordham University, the University of California, the Humanity Summit in Portugal, Dan Fleyshman’s Elevator Night, Women of Power & Transformation, international leadership conferences, and Renatus National Conferences with audiences reaching approximately 2,000 people.

Today, Hugh speaks on AI-powered business growth, entrepreneurship, leadership, and real estate, combining humor, storytelling, real-world examples, practical exercises, and audience interaction to move people beyond inspiration and into action.

Hugh believes Consistent Daily Action Leads to Success.

Launch. Build Momentum. Stay in Orbit.
