Better Call Daddy

Today’s guest, Eli Erlanger, is a 10th grader, who is a truth seeker and wanted to do some investigative journalism of his own!  He sent me a message on Instagram about the Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad episode 193 I did and I loved his approach!  Read his message below.

Hello Mrs.Watts,

I am Eli Erlanger and I am a student from the Wellington School in Columbus Ohio. I am doing a social history project on the Poway Synagogue Shooting. I would love to get your insights as I need one more interview and I think you are the perfect person after listening to your podcast. It’s a short interview only 10-15 minutes max. I could send you the completed interview when the project is done.

Thank you,

Eli

Oscar Stewart Episode was a re-broadcast of the live interview I did with army veteran Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad at a Shul Safety Team Officer event in Chicago sponsored by the Concerned Citizen's League. 

When the shooting started in Poway that Passover, chaos erupted, and human instincts kicked in.  As an army veteran, he knew what he had to do, and didn't think twice.  Oscar did two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and his training prepared him as he ran into the line of fire.

Today I’m speaking to Riley Gaines who’s speaking up for the injustices in sports!  It’s not just about politics, it’s about fairness!  She has athleticism in her blood and real role model parents!  Her dad was even an NFL player!  

You may recognize Riley’s name from the news, she’s recently made headlines for speaking out against injustices in the athletic world against women. This was sparked at a recent NCAA swimming competition where Riley tied for fifth place with a transgender women who is biologically male, Lia Thomas. Riley was told the trophy would be given to her opponent and she would wait for hers in the mail. What infuriated her was not the trophy or lack thereof but the fact that she as a woman at a woman’s competition was pushed aside and disregarded. Today we find out what issues she is facing and why she is speaking up.  Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!

Love is in the air today on the Better Call Daddy Show!  I interview Evan Rabin days after he proposed to his fiancé!  Shout out to Stacey Ehrlick!  Mazal tov!  He’s a true New Yorker, a National chess master, podcaster, host of Premier Chess Podcast, and fabulous Shaily Hakimian connected us!  Developing a chess mindset can be a competitive sport!  Chess has been in my family for years and today Daddy’s giving some advice to the newly engaged couple!  Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!

After graduating from Brandeis University Evan started teaching chess full-time, but eventually decided to set his sights on the corporate world, working at Oracle and Rapid7 and briefly running his own sales company, Pillar Sales.

Evan left Pillar Sales, in July of 2017 and founded Premier Chess. Utilizing the chess network that he had built throughout his life and his sales experience, Evan started programs in 14 schools within 2 months. From there he started offering corporate classes, working with clients like Kramer-Levin, a top New York City law firm, and Movable Inc.

Premier Chess became about creating access. Everyone has a lot to gain from chess and deserves the opportunity to give it a shot regardless of geography. So Evan started taking on students in remote areas through Skype, expanding to 5 states, and even teaching as far as Tanzania.

Now, partnering with vendors like the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, National Education Chess Association, and Top Level Chess, Premier Chess is expanding to Florida, Massachusetts, Washington, Colorado, while international efforts are continuing in Myanmar.

Boomer Anderson learned meditation from his mom, and derivatives from his dad.  He always liked learning complex subjects.  His parents fed his interests whether BBQ cookoffs, buying stocks, or health and fitness.  At thirty years old he discovered he had a cardiovascular condition even with twelve percent body fat, and running a seven-minute mile.  What do we have if we don’t have our health? His circadian rhythms needed repairing!  How many hours of sleep are you getting?  Are these lifestyle modifications available to me?  Can we prevent health problems?

Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.
