In this, first of a kind Market Makers Hebrew episode, we host Tamir Gabay, a pension insurance agent, business owner and Givati company commander:

Balance in the shadow of war

We have all been experiencing the challenging period of the past three years. As we approach the third anniversary of October 7, the defining day burned into our minds, and with hopes for quieter times, we are proud to present the very first Market Makers IL episode in Hebrew and to host Tamir Gabay who takes us straight into this exact experience.

Tamir, a pension insurance agent and business owner, serves as a company commander in the Givati Brigade. We are hosting him to bring the important voice of reserve soldiers alongside the perspective of independent business owners.

In the upcoming episode Tamir shares how the war impacted the business sector and talks about the way he navigated between managing a family and a business and fateful military demands. Tamir reminds us that the military and human lives come before everything else, and honestly reflects on how the significant role he fulfilled affected him and his soldiers.

We invited Tamir to hear firsthand how one continues to provide solutions to clients and manage a family business even under fire in Gaza. The result is a fascinating episode that provides a unique angle on leadership, and shows how a person manages to hold together a deep commitment to business and family, while functioning at full capacity as a company commander on the front lines.

Futurist Roey Tzezana joined us to tackle this critical question and discuss the broader implications of the Artificial Intelligence revolution.

Roey’s perspective and thoughtfulness are the perfect companion to Theme 6 of EFG’s Mid-Year Outlook. 

In this episode, we look across the AI landscape to highlight where structural growth and capital investment may drive long-term opportunities, including:

Hardware and infrastructure

Software and enterprise solutions

Dealing with investors, managing senior executive time, delivering good and less than good news to investors. We get into it all and you won’t want to miss what they have to say.

One of the most important topics in wealth management right now revolves around the imminent transfer of significant wealth – trillions by many widely used industry estimate from the “boomers” to their children and grandchildren. One of the key talking points in this conversation centers on the thesis that Gen Z may be thinking about money differently than prior cohorts. In this episode we do a very unscientific look into this topic and converse with two late 20-somethings about how they think about money and savings. We think you will be surprised by some of their answers.

In this episode of Market Makers IL, Michael and Joseph do a deep dive on financial products. They examine the categories of products on the shelf from stocks to bonds to funds to Alternatives and take the time to define them and address issues of resilience and balance. If you have limited knowledge of financial products, this one’s for you. If you are a financial products expert, you’ll probably still find their explanations and experiences entertaining and illuminating.

In the final episode of season 1, Michael and Joseph moved to opposite sides of the table and discussed key messages from Season 1. Season one guests included VCs, a lawyer, an entrepreneur, a family officer, and other Israel success stories. The conversations were unique with each guest bringing unique insights to how they have navigated and succeeded in the local market. There were also several key areas of agreement even as success was achieved in various ways. What stood out most during the season, which was recorded from March – July 2025 as Israel went through several challenging phases of the war, was that despite the headlines there is significant room for optimism across the spectrum of the Israeli business community. Local and International investors are looking forward to better days, and local entrepreneurs have demonstrated significant and admirable degrees of resilience and flexibility during this period of uncertainty. Of course, Micheal and Joseph subjected themselves to the 4 rapid fire questions that ended each episode. Make sure to listen to hear their answers. Stay tuned for Season 2 of Market Makers IL.
