In Crown Heights, more young people than ever are stepping into the business world — but many are doing so without a clear roadmap.
The KFactor Podcast, an initiative of CHYE (Crown Heights Young Entrepreneurs) & COLlive.com was created to change that.
Building a business isn’t just about ideas—it’s about discipline, resilience, and knowing when to pivot.
In this episode, veteran Business leader Kasriel Shemtov, managing Partner of East Park Holdings, explores entrepreneurship, sales discipline, and startup growth strategies.
From early struggles in manufacturing to building and scaling startups, we share real lessons on what it actually takes to succeed—and what most people get wrong.
Whether you’re starting your first business or trying to grow one without losing control, this episode will give you practical insights you can apply immediately.
Season 3 is made possible in part by Ainsworth Gorkin Law, a legal services firm that works closely with small and mid-sized businesses across New York and New Jersey, helping them navigate legal challenges and build strong foundations.
For CHYE, the podcast is just one piece of a larger vision: creating a community where young people feel supported, equipped, and empowered to succeed.
