Early life

Paisner graduated from Tufts University with a B.A. in English in 1982,[6] before receiving an M.A. in Journalism from Boston University.[7][when?]

Career

In 2006, Paisner collaborated with

The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life, published in October 2009.[9][10]

In 2011, Paisner collaborated with baseball umpire Jim Joyce and pitcher Armando Galarraga on a book about Galarraga's near perfect game. On June 2, 2010, Joyce called a play incorrectly, preventing Galarraga from pitching a perfect game. Following the release of the book, Nobody's Perfect: Two Men, One Call, and a Game for Baseball History, MLB did not allow Joyce to work any games in which Galarraga would be playing, to avoid any appearance of impropriety due to their business relationship.[11]

In 2016, with Daymond John, the founder and CEO of FUBU, Paisner released The Power of Broke, a motivational business book that features stories from 15 entrepreneurs, including Steve Aoki, Rob Dyrdek, Kevin Plank, and Loren Ridinger.[12] It appeared on The Wall Street Journal[13] and The New York Times[14] bestseller lists, and received an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Instructional Literary Work.[15]
