Mr . Rosen ’ s persona may have easily been coined to create the hit series of Dos Equis commercials claiming to feature “ the most interesting man in the world .” Yet , there is a lot more to this financial guru than could be crammed into a short TV commercial .

He has been a talk show host on The Financial News with Leonard Rosen , a contributor to NBC ’ s Newsvine on the topics of real estate syndication and private equity funding , and a news anchor for the Financial News Network .
When he isn ’ t in the air traveling or producing on the air you might find The Most Interesting Man in Hard Money gracing the stage or lounge of one of the world ’ s most beautiful hotels in South Florida or Las Vegas .
