Dr. Jason Gordon, an expert in Chinese medicine, a culinary educator and founder of Florida’s #1 plant-based restaurant Soul Tavern joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Jason Gordon discuss the following:

* Explain to our listeners a little bit about your background and how Alchemical Courtyard came to be?* What is your inspiration behind Soul Tavern?* Between your medical practice, elixirs, and restaurant, how do you juggle running three successful businesses in three different industries?* What are some lessons you’ve learned since starting your companies? What do you attribute your success to?* How do you recommend young entrepreneurs find balance when they are so often spread thin?

What makes Dr. Jason Gordon unique as the mindful alchemist behind Soul Tavern is his ability to seek guidance from within. It has allowed him to draw on a distinct set of skills that are required in order for an innovative restaurant concept, centered on the five elements, to succeed: Demonstrated success as a restauranteur and businessperson. Check. A breadth of knowledge about ancient medicinal arts and Eastern thought. Check. A profound passion for healing and a desire to nourish all those he encounters. Check. Check. 

Soul Tavern is the manifestation of a lifelong vision. From his time at business school, his entrepreneurial endeavors, to his current alchemic healing practice, Dr. Gordon has dedicated himself to promoting health and wellness by asking tough questions about life and meeting its lessons with compassion and dedication.  Yoga, acupuncture, ancient studies, education, and meditation are all as much at the center of Gordon’s business concept as are the conventions of hospitality that make Soul Tavern a must-visit culinary retreat. 

The healing property of food is well documented from ancient texts through modern journals of medicine. It forms a distinct and intimate relationship with the person who eats it that propels a life in one direction or another. The role of an alchemist is to transform one thing into another by a seemingly magical process. Through Soul Tavern, Dr. Gordon has taken vegan cuisine and ancient elixirs and transformed them into a welcoming hangout that elevates the spirit in a casual and inviting setting. He has integrated the valuable lessons he’s learned through his career and self-reflection and dared to impact the restaurant world by making the ancient new again. He kindly invites us all to join him on this journey.

Rabbi Mendel Kastel, who is leading the Sydney-based crisis centre, Jewish House, into the digital age igniting technology solutions joins Enterprise Radio. 

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Rabbi Mendel Kastel discuss the following:

* Please tell the audience a bit about your background and how you came to become the CEO of Jewish House?* In your experience, what have been some innovations globally that you feel could possibly solve the issue of homelessness?* Many large tech companies are putting funding towards solving homelessness, particularly in Silicon Valley, what do you see as the biggest barriers that they face?* What excites you about the future of technology in the not for profit space?* Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming project in Australia where an app is being rolled out to connect the general public to their local communities?

Rabbi Kastel joined the Jewish House at the beginning of 2008. He has been providing Rabbinic expertise to the Sydney community for over 20 years. His deep community and social welfare experience, passion for the cause and collaborative approach has seen Jewish House grow and continue to develop. Both he and Jewish House are well recognised for applying innovative best practices to the provision of expert crisis services in the Sydney community.J

Jewish House is like the community ambulance, because it is also a service where clients are picked up and directed on to services that can help to heal a client or resolve his or her crisis. Whether it is through providing 2 weeks of crisis accommodation and then locating long term accommodation for clients; or by taking a call from a client in distress and directing them to the institutions that can assist them financially and medically, the Jewish House is there to take a person from crisis to stability.

Each service provided by Jewish House and as described in this section is unique because it is interlinked with the other services. In no other crisis accommodation are psychologists located on site and ready to help anyone who requires it. No other crisis call line will take such a wide range of problems on their call lines.

For this reason the Jewish House services are attracting academic attention and fast becoming a leader in the field of crisis care.

Our services include: 24/7 Crisis Line, Crisis Accommodation, Counselling, Pastoral Care, Chaplaincy, Financial Counselling, Mediation and Resource Centre for Homeless.

Tom Hubler the author of “THE SOUL OF FAMILY BUSINESS: A Practical Guide to Family Business Success and a Loving Family” (2018) and a family business advisor and President of Hubler for Business Families joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Tom Hubler discuss the following:

* What is the “soul” of family business?* What do you find to be the most important aspect of running a family owned business? How can families best implement this?* In the book, you talk about forgiveness as intervention. What do you mean by this?* How can family run businesses best prepare for succession planning? What if the children don’t want the business?* You talk about the “last challenge of entrepreneurship” — what is this? what’s your advice for the generation stepping away right now?

When Thomas M. Hubler began his family business consulting practice in 1980, he was one of the few professionals addressing family-owned businesses in the United States. Hubler has over 35 years of experience of working with families. While a good portion of that experience has been in working with business families, at the same time he is noted for his ability for peacemaking within families.

In his early career, he was a marriage and family therapist and, after receiving a Bush Fellowship in 1977, he pioneered the concept of succession planning in family owned businesses.

Since that time, Hubler has played a major role in shaping this field, from helping colleges and universities establish family business institutes to his work with countless families and their business enterprises. As the acknowledged “dean” of family business consulting, Hubler continues to shape this important field, helping families strengthen connections and eliminate barriers to healthy, productive family and business relationships. 

Has Hubler made a difference?  Don Hermes, President of Hermes Floral, a successful third-generation family-owned business and early Hubler client says: “He helped us unravel the family issues, setting the foundation for us to be successful today.”  

Today, the Hubler firm continues its long-standing dedication to helping families of wealth and family-owned businesses succeed. The firm helps families develop a shared vision for the family and for the business; identify individual talents; tackle any unspoken issues; and create individual and organizational strategies to ensure a personally and financially rewarding business. In addition, the firm assists families of wealth with the creation of a wealth preparation plan that ensures family values continue to emphasize a family culture of gratitude, philanthropy and living purposeful lives.

Hubler is a founding member of the Family Firm Institute (FFI) in Boston, a professional organization serving the needs of family-owned businesses. He is a Fellow in FFI, an honor bestowed on only a very few members. In addition, he served as a professional in residence at the Uni...

Maddie Parker, a CFP® at Parker Financial Group, a leader in providing retirement planning services to individuals and families based in Overland Park, Kansas joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Maddie Parker discuss the following:

* What is “Total Client Engagement” and what does it mean to small business owners?* What are three core processes to focus on to achieve “Total Client Engagement”?* What is the biggest challenge when striving for “Total Client Engagement”?* How to overcome commoditization to reach “Total Client Engagement”?* What are the benefits of “Total Client Engagement” and how can I set this as a long-term goal for my business?

Maddie Parker started her professional career by studying Mathematics at the University of Kansas, where she obtained both her bachelor and master’s degrees, to pursue a career teaching high school math. After 4 years of teaching Algebra 2 and Geometry at Olathe East High School, she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the family business, Parker Financial Group (PFG).  

Maddie quickly learned that the passion she had for education and teaching Math translated seamlessly to her role as a financial planner. As a math teacher, Maddie always enjoyed breaking down the subject’s complex content and delivering it to her students in a simple and easy to understand manner.

As a financial planner, she found that each client’s financial situation is uniquely complex and often difficult for the clients to understand or be able to piece together on their own. Thus, she was still breaking down something complex and teaching it, just to working and retired adults now, instead of 15 and 16-year-old students. 

Committed to providing the highest standard of financial planning, Maddie fulfilled the CFP Board’s rigorous requirements to become a Certified Financial Planner™ professional.

Filmmaker. Actor. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist.

Founder of L.T.D. Films.

@RayBouderau

Ray Bouderau is Founder and CEO of Living The Dream Films (ltdfilms.nyc), a production company specializing in film development, production and financing.

Upcoming Features

Ray’s next project, The Public, directed and written by Emilio Estevez, is set to debut this April by Universal Pictures. Ray is the Executive Producer and has a supporting role in the film which co-stars Alec Baldwin, Emilio Estevez, Jena Malone, Taylor Schilling, Christian Slater, Gabrielle Union, Jacob Vargas, Michael K. Williams, Jeffrey Wright and Che “Rhymefest” Smith. In “The Public” an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an “Occupy” sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what’s really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation’s most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.

In addition, Danny A. Abeckaser’s upcoming gangster flick Mob Town starring David Arquette, Jennifer Esposito, Robert Davi, PJ Byrne and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, which was just bought by Saban Films and will debut with a Summer 2019 theatre release, in which Ray also has a supporting role.
