Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Calvin Schwartz and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker
Calvin Schwartz
Please share a brief Bio.
Meet Calvin Barry Schwartz: 6'5" tall, and impossible to miss, literally, which is why sneaking into a scene in Meryl Streep's movie, "One True Thing," was such an achievement. This Jersey guy has nine lives and receipts to prove it: survived a VW rolling over five times at 65 mph (walked away without a scratch), got mysteriously healed of a devastating knee injury walking out of a church in Nazareth (four witnesses), and once lost 100 pounds in 2½ months like he was possessed. After selling eyeglasses for a billionaire for 25 years, this Newark ex-pharmacist watched "Casablanca" for the 54th time and thought, "I could write something like that." So, he did. Twice. His second novel, "There's a Tortoise in My Hair: A Journey to Spirit," earned the Kirkus Star and comparisons to Philip Roth, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Irving, transforming a midlife crisis into a deeply personal and darkly humorous meditation on meaning, mortality, and the mysterious forces that guide us through our darkest moments. Not bad for a guy who started his teaching career at Rutgers at 74, when most people are perfecting their golf game. Speaking of Rutgers, Calvin is on the Advisory Committee of the Women’s Health Institute at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. These days, Calvin practices what he preaches: flexitarian since 1975, zero coronary artery plaque, LDL cholesterol at 45, and sharper than ever. He's conducted seven paranormal investigations (ghosts, orbs, the works), turned down Steven Spielberg twice (still regretting it), almost tried out for the Chicago Bulls in 1976, and hosts a global podcast with 700+ interviews/videos. He recently wrote to Pope Leo XIV about his "inexplicable spirituality" because why not? If anyone could understand it, this Pope could. Calvin's third book is "Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire." Spoiler: longevity techniques work. He's living proof.
